Have you noticed the crack in tbe rear triangle?!!!?
No sir. Most reviews talk about it being able to run 27.5.What if you fully compress the shock? Does the tyre rub on the seatpost?
It’s a 26” frame that accommodates a 27.5 wheel. You’re welcome.A 26" frame designed to take 27.5" tyres is not a 26" frame.

Stop being anti-semantic!Semantics. Nice patrol
No, and not in a rush to...even with new flow mk3 on hope pro4 27.5 wheels sitting unused....Its nice and red...
Have you been able to do back to back 26" to 27.5" rides. Feral feels?
I have...on the Spitty..2 times, and stillness back to 26. Tried the Rune on both...was a lot more fun to ride 26”.Don’t. You won’t go back.

I'll be interested to hear what they say about the shock. They also have some Scout and Smuggler frames going cheap (no XL) with no mention of the shockThis thing is amazing! So close to pulling the trigger on an xl frame from
Merlin. Waiting to hear from them regarding shock / hardware.

I saw that. I am eagerly awaiting their response. I reckon it will be a deciding factor. It is not so cheap once i add on approx $300 to get it in oz. One of the frames lists a shock but the carbon patrol does not. I can't imagine somebody paying 3k for a frame sans shock. I'll let you know mateI'll be interested to hear what they say about the shock. They also have some Patrol and Smuggler frames going cheap (no XL) with no mention of the shock
Faster does not = funnerer does it. God damn bike industry ruining a good thing, forcing people onto weaker rims with less spokes and more rotating mass. I feel for the freeriders out there who can’t get a good 26’ bike anymore. Even transition discontinued the suppressor.I have...on the Spitty..2 times, and stillness back to 26.

I WANT to like 27.5, I’ve spent $1200 on 2 nice wheelsets recently, to give it the best possible chance, but they’re both now sitting unused.
What year did they discontinue the 26" model?*snip* Even transition discontinued the suppressor.
Trying to find 26’ gear for the dj bike is becoming a pain in the arse, rim choice if pretty limited when looking for 36spokes. Tyres even moreso.
The suppressor was 2015/16. Kept making high end bikes longer than most, at least.What year did they discontinue the 26" model?
2016/2017? Just weren’t selling enough.What year did they discontinue the 26" model?
Atm I’m getting KHE mac2 dirts from crc. Cannot buy them nor maxxis DTH’s locally. Schwalbe table tops are meh. Non-tanwall DMR supermoto’s, which is what I want, can’t seem to find em anywhere. Ideally I like to buy locally but that isn’t happening.Tyres are the least of my problem. Where are you looking?.
Why can't you get dths locally? I was buying them up until I quit the shop. (Nov last year)2016/2017? Just weren’t selling enough.
Edit: nevermind, mooreys got it covered
