After receiving my YT the other day, I was very impressed w/ the overall buying process. The price was great, the packaging was top notch, if I wasn't an OCD lunatic I could have had that bike from the box to trail in an hour...
i see the high school xc team guys all the time. most of them look completely ridiculous and ride hella sketchy because they are riding bikes that are beyond obviously too big for them...
first alloy bikes started coming back, now this.

Who is faster?
Yeah I'd take one of those Scouts any day. My original Scout was the most fun bike I'd ever owned and this one looks even more capable. Wonder when they'll update the Patrol again - although I'm sure they'll do the Sentinel first.
Yes, they went in my bongshed...can't wait to do Pisgah things on my neolithic stoke boat
What size bolts are on the face plate of that atlas stem?Yes, they went in my bongshed...can't wait to do Pisgah things on my neolithic stoke boat
4 mm I believe.
me and subop been talkin...fuckit friday at wilsons SOON.Yes, they went in my bongshed...can't wait to do Pisgah things on my neolithic stoke boat
They just did, they call it the Scout now.
I had hopes that they would have keep the travel down on V3 Scout, or at least make the travel possibility 130/140 instead of the 140/150. Not a lot of options for shorter travel robust bikes.
Yeah fair. Anything less travel than that all the fun bikes are 29ers now except maybe the Evil Calling and I think the RM Thunderbolt? I always ran my old Scout at 150mm front anyway, and I'm not too bothered that its got 0.5" more out back. It just looks burlier now and lighter - both good things. Can see why people would want a zippier option though
Homer guy here being a homer, but the GG Shred Dogg checks the 140/130 mm with 27.5 hoops box pretty darn well. Plus, the frame is 100% Corona Virus free.
When I got my '17 Scout the only other bike on the list was the Shred Dogg. I'm a big fan of adjustable rear travel, 3 prior bikes were Titus Motolite, Tracer and Carbine. Carbine in 6 inch mode with Elka rear and Lyrik coil up front at 160 was a truly awesome papier maché bike...
shred dogg fucker
or shred dog
fucker
Maybe a comma?
shred dog, fucker
Yeah that's it: shred dog, fucker
Fucking shred dog, motherfucker
Never heard of it. Is that from that Rid Egg company?
I'm sorry. This is just a fucking shit hot rig. Party bikes like this should never have gone away.

:runs off to update kill list:

Either the assistant is an asshat or the photographer. The right side of that strip light is about 1' closer. So the front of that bike is gonna be just a bit overexposed.
First review: "Rolls over shit easier" "Nighty, night 29'er" "Sooooo FAST"

CONS- "Doesn't come in turquoise"

they have a fender, just not installed for some reason.
sick looking bike.

Not particularly good looking but, it's a new bike, this is the DH forum, and I can't find the Canfield thread right now. Skull headtube gusset reminds my of the early aughts, so that's kinda cool and also kinda kill-list.

I always associated Canfield with the high pivot idler/ rearward axle path designed downhill rig.
They decided to just build a DH bike with a more traditional design? Seems strange considering the return and recent success of the modern High pivot rigs.
Same here, but I think they've been working on their dual link system ("Canfield Balance Formula") for awhile and I guess wanted to use that, and that's also what Revel is using now that Chris is there (or at least working with them). While I'm not particularly charmed with the aesthetics, its a solid price point and its nice to another DH bike on the market.
