quotes Nice ride, but $500 seems a bit pricey.

quotes That said, I'd still pay the money for the crisp shifting.

quotes Yea, spend $240 once cause you can't afford it twice. Just because it's more expensive, doesn't make it stronger.

quotes It's a 2009 Specialized SX Trail II, but looks like a custom build.

quotes Read what "Raceface-Suit" wrote in the comments section in the last article (http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Race-Face-Closes-the-Doors.html)... it's pretty clear that the Canadian market wasn't very large relative to the US and European markets, so even if the MEC issue did indeed have a negative effect on the Canadian market (which isn't necessarily true anyway) it wouldn't have much of an effect at all on Raceface's total sales.

quotes Preventing the eccentric hub from rotating would be a huge issue. A splined or keyed axle might do the trick, but the fork would have to be custom designed for the axle then anyway. Any other retrofit (eg. picture a pedal brake on an old bmx, with the extended arm clamped to the chain stay) would likely put too much stress on the lowers. Moreover, this seems akin to using block spacers to lift a truck just to accommodate bigger tires... kinda mickey mouse. The right way is to just get bigger suspension!

Sorry for the random message here but do you have any idea how to get to those gnarly trails in the "I like this" video that appear to be above Squamish? I'm coming through B.C. this summer and I have to hit those trails(Especially the highest ones). I noticed you posted below the vid. Thanks in advance.
