My EWR OWB 29er
Really digging it so far after a couple of rides. 1x9 setup, fast and furious and behaves like it was made to rail turns.

How do you like the new Reba?
Particularly if you've spent much time on the 08. I'm pretty tempted by the U turn if I can spring the cash.

Frame EWR OWB 29er
Fork Rock Shox Reba Race 100mm 29er w/ poploc
Wheels I9 hubs x stans arch 29er rims
Headset Chris King Nothreadset
Stem Thomson 90mm 25.4 clamp
Handlebar Easton Monkeybar mid rise
Grips Ourys
Front brake Avid Juicy 7 185
Rear Brake Avid Juicy 7 160
Seatpost Thomson Elite 29.4 330mm
Seatpost clamp Salsa Liplock
Saddle Fizik Gobi
Cranks XT 760 setup with blackspire single 32 ring and bashguard
Pedals Eggbeater Candy SL
Rear derrailer sram x.9
cassette sram 11-34
shifters sram x.9 triggers
The frame and fork are new, but most of the other parts are recycled from 2 other bikes I sold
I like but I am just getting it dialed in. I'll let you know in a bit, it is still premature for a full on review.
I must say that I am more and more impressed by Rock Shox. This is my second Reba (still have a 80mm 07 sl version) and I am beginning to wonder why Fox still gets such a premium for their forks.
Gracias
I dropped the chain a couple of times so I am going to have to fuddle with some chain retention solutions. I am looking to try some minimal chain keeper type stuff. If I can find one I might get the blackspire inner guard thingy.

I guess my main concern in switching to the increased offset of the new forks. Then again, the anal retentiveness of the folks at that other forum may be rubbing off on me.

I got a Third Eye chain watcher for my 1x9. It works fine, but my chain wasn't dropping that much anyway. If you've got the bank for one of those Blackspire thingers then that seems like the stylish choice.

Pretty much the same that it has been, only swapped saddles with my fixed gear.

Looks like Lee is the dealership it was bought from.

Picture my SGS, but without a shock. Or bars. Or stem.
Picture my hardtail, with the bars and stem from my SGS.
