The new SLX cranks are pretty sweet. and available in a double. I have one on my new trailbike (a WFO9). It has a wide range of 36-22. @ Lee T

Double chainrings don’t have to be expensive. The new SLX cranks are pretty sweet. and available in a double. I have one on my new trailbike (a WFO9). It has a wide range of 36-22.

However, I was quite impressed on how the ABP kept the rear wheel hooked up and tracking the dirt under heavy braking, pretty much defying me to lock up the rear wheel under conditions that had other bikes skipping like a stone across the water under the same conditions. If it has bad habits that go along with it, I could not ferret that out in the 30 minute ride at Bootleg. grannygear @simenf Well since the ABP is only on the Fisher (or Trek) bikes as far as I know, it does not relate to the virtual pivot point type bikes.

The bike was shown at Interbike and there are a few pre-production prototypes being ridden by the Niner Team and employees, but nothing yet for us to test. @David Bolam: The Carbon Air 9 will not be available until later in the winter.
