New Slash. Went up on a UK website last night but has since been taken down. This is the 7.
It's why I'm going for the Ragley Big Al rather than the mmmbop.The ultra-modern hardtails (like that new Kona ESD) are really very limited in scope on what they suit (very steep/very fast descents). The Merida looks like a solid all-round geo, and as @HamboCairns suggests, if measured unsagged would actually still be quite long at sag.

What's wrong with the knock block?I like that Trek because it looks like it doesn't have Knock Block. I quite liked a Fuel EX I rode, but no friggen way am I buying a bike with knock-block...

Wuss.I don't mind knock block, it means that I can do super neat cable runs and have a ready excuse when all the cool kids ask why I can't do bar spins.
Surely it is just a matter of setting up your cock controls better?Ironically, I could've used one on my Procaliber when I crashed it. Pushed the shifter over the top tube, chipping the paint and destroying the Di2 shifter in the process
I just explain to them that I'm shit and scared.I don't mind knock block, it means that I can do super neat cable runs and have a ready excuse when all the cool kids ask why I can't do bar spins.
