not enough room- its a bushnell EBB not a pinch bolt like on the 9ers. the only way to de-creak it is to remove it and lube it heavily. i do have my eye on one of the latest generation bushnells- it cuts the wieght in half and has lots more area to heavily lube.

Same fork as last year, but I wanted rear suspension and a faster descender. Mary bars - less fatigue than straight bars. Gears? Comes with the territory.

Looks further forward than it is due to design of that seat post. I must have short thighs and long calves??
Either way those bad boys better be on top form for Saturday

Shorter Torso and arms, long legs?

Specialized usually has really slack seat tube angles. So I'm guessing when the seat is fully extended for XC/climbing that moves you way more over the rear tire. Hey, whatever works I say.

Nice bling XTR group. Though I like SRAM better.

Scratch that, you'll see it as you're passing me on the start at BlackStar.

You're not crazy. A susp fork is just dead weight on the VQ climbs.
