    Most modern trail bikes have low-ish bottom brackets. The Endorphin's is 13.4" - not unreasonably low. I've just been having so much fun attacking corners that I've started pedaling at apex instead of waiting. Bad idea unless you're on a berm. Hmmm, so in a way, I guess I just agreed with you a little...

    Bike's fine. One small scratch on paint less than a 1/4" long on seat tube. Tiny scratch on fork lowers near the top. No scratch on stanchions. Suspicious new chunk cut from the end of the left crank arm. I fell going uphill, so the bike didn't tumble. Very similar to Danimal's fall in Whiting in 2012 in which he kissed the opposing bank of a dip after washing out and damn near broke his neck from the pile-driver effect. His recovery routine included his first trip to Whistler if I'm not mistaken. But I digress...

    You're not gonna go the "Mo" route and ditch the Knolly are you?

    Was joking with that post. :lol:

    If it were a Yeti instead of a Knolly, maybe there might have been a little bit more concern and less joking. ;)


    Something like my little crash here?

    F'** no. Mo's a paradox. Whatever bike he has is the "best bike ever," but he always wants something else. His stoke knows no bounds in spite of his state of constant unrest.

    Me? I likes what I likes and keep it for a long while.

    Nope. Both Danimal and I crashed into the bank, not after it. Picture a dart board.

    Some are the dart, some are the board.
    We didn't choose dart, it chose us.
