I have both.

Same. I found the DH version too stiff. To the point where I don’t wear them. I have the Syn and canvas. I like the syn version a little better. Sheds water better. Seems a little more comfortable to me as well.
I got the Syn version in black and it's now out of stock in my size (44.5) but I think I can go up 0.5 size and still be fine as I have wide feet. However, there also is the suede and leather version in black which is said to be comfy also and they still have it in 44.5 so I'm wondering if I should get that instead.

I find the 2fo roost and canvas to be too thin and not as good for driving the bike.

Back to back runs with the 2fo dh shoes, and it’s not even close how much more damping the dh model has- like an old 5.10 Sam Hill, but only $50!

I liked the stiffness of the DH (I find it helps me a lot with foot fatigue) but couldn't get along with how narrow those things are. They definitely modeled them on the same fucking Italian ballerina feet that ski boot manufacturers use.

That’s MY foot last, gosh darn you! I can’t use a modern 5.10 shoe at all, they are made for inbred north americans with thalidomide flippers.

I've got a good pair of Atomics (#1 on their list) now in their biggest last which felt awesome out of the box. Thanks though.

Does it come with a hacktastic proof rear hub?
I'm not gonna find out, if I go carbon it'll be another WAO rim, CX-Sprint spokes and some wacky hub.

The Junto has to be one of the best geo downcountry hardtails around.

I think if you were to reduce your annual tool budget by 10% you could buy that frame and a dentist build. :brows:
I have cut my tool budget to $12 in the last two months.
I work a day every now and then at my old job just so I don't have to bring my toolboxes home.
Having everything you think you'll ever need is a great idea until you have to move it all.

hayes/manitou is having a pretty decent labor day sale. their dropper (rebadged bikeyoke) is half off right now. A2s are half off, bunch of other stuff on sale too.
So the Jack dropper is still on sale.

Anyone know if the travel can be shortened on this version? I know the V3 Revive is able to be shortened but not sure if the V2 can also be done.

i don't believe so, I didn't see anything about travel adjustment in any of the manuals.

Yeah I couldn't find out anything official either but on Empty Beer there are some threads saying it can be done and link to a part number on the Bike Yoke site.

Either way I wound up ordering the 185mm which should just fit with the post almost completely slammed based on my calculations. What I am unsure of is if the seat will clear the rear tire as I was too lazy to check.

10t smallest sprocket peeps.
So rich people!
A Deore 10-45t cassette is 110 Aussie Dollars.

36t ring with a 10-45t is great, 10-42 would be better but people want dinner plate first gears because they walk up mountains and talk about who has the widest ratio spread.

EDIT- Good lord those Deore cranks are cheap!
We don't see prices like that here.
I want 165mm 68/73 Saints but can't find any.

What's the elevation where you are? Have 10 speed, 32t ring and 11-42 cassette on my mullet hardtail. Need to go 11-46 and I'm good.

About two feet, Australia taps out at about for feet above sea level.

Gone are the days where I could do the local XC loops with my 32-13 SS bike.
