So you bought the voodoo eh? Nice one!

Very rad bike!

MG gulprincipia, I think your comments are spot on. I have run the tire both ways and can feel no discernible difference in climbing traction. However, there is a marked improvement...

Hi WR Pat, Now I have had the time to really test the Pitch B, running both tubes and tubeless. There is not much to say, except...

As Cracked Headtube reports, my '08 Specialized Epic Carbon Expert 100mm travel front/rear accepts 650b. My trail is so gnarly that I miss my heavier alloy Stumpy. Selling Epic for $2249. I'm 6-3, 34-1/2 inseam; fits OK but bordering small so my guesstimate is OK fit for 5-11 to 6-3. Shipping carton & packing material intact. Suggest local pro for packing. High-rez pics & details later in classifieds (gotta wash her...

Cheers, Mark Hey Mark, The Sinister riders that I know have several DNAs, but I will need to ask around about a Ridge. Hopefully that owner may allow mw to hijack their rig for a weekend of 650b testing Regards

They do look similar! Probably built in the same factory. That upper rear stay looks like it came out of the same mold. I checked the geometry and they are different, however. So, don't know, but that's a great price if they ride the same - I'd pick up a spare.

Got this to replace the too-small On-one 'B'Inbred (both designed by Brant). Rides great for all-mountain/trail but I'd say it's too kicked out for the...

I'm probably going to buy a used Jamis durango frame in the next few days for $50 to see if it fits. From the pictures of the frame (14" size) it doesn't appear to have a chainstay bridge tube behind the BB shell, which should leave plenty of room for the radius of a neo-moto.
