My last bike had me feeling too high and unstable. This one has a bit lower BB and a bit longer TT/wheelbase... Even with 182 mm cranks, you can manage just fine. Like Daver said, you get used to it. I even had my 190s on there for a while. Lower BB was a big plus for me on this frame… My last bike had me feeling too high and unstable. This one has a bit lower BB and a bit longer TT/wheelbase…

As I run steerers over 100mm shorter, that would come down under 700g even, very light for such a long fork. Based on specs, the fork should be a good match on many 29"er, such as KM's, On-One's, older Fishers, Redlines, etc! With G2 specs, I bet they'd sell thousands of the forks...

I have the optional hanger, but I don't see it getting used anytime soon (most of our climbs here in FLA are over in about two minutes, max). BB height... your eyesight magically gets better, and you begin to see lines that aren't going to involve smacking a pedal or the BB. In other words, you get used to it.

I have 47 shoes and never had any toe overlap. Not once have my sliders slipped. The BB height is low but once I got used to it I love it in the corners. Fits a Reba fine.

The weight is amazing. I think its on par with the PACE carbon AND it's a whole heck of a lot cheaper. I haven't ridden an aluminum fork for a long time and I can't remember what they feel like on the trail. I can't wait to hear about this build!

I would like to know: - How well do the sliders hold especially without any tensioning bolts? - Does this frame accept a 27.2 seat post? - Is the BB height about 11.75"? That could be a deal breaker for me with all the rock here in Central PA. - Is the frame powder coated or wet painted? - Any toe overlap issues? (my shoe size is 47) - Will a Reba fork clear the down tube? Thanks. GT,
