I know a few of you have one or have had one so I am calling on your experience.
What amount of travel does the frame ride best at? I have mine setup with Recon U-Turns 85-130 and SS and its likely to be the most XC bike I will have. Dont use it for big or even medium stuff I have a Pitch for that.
Here is a pic to get your mouths watering. 😉

I'm sure it's a switchback I've just built up into a SS too.
Only been on one ride with it, using Marz mx pro eta - not sure on travel, but reckon it's about 100mm....
Rides like a beaut!
DrP
120mm for me, not for long though as I had two of them crack so I got an Inbred instead.

I did read on here that they sorted the bending issue with later models and those models had no ISCG mounts. Can anybody who has had a bent/cracked one confirm that those were the original design with an ISCG.
I should probably know, but whats an ISCG mount?
The Switchback was designed with 130mm forks in mind, IIRC. I had 120mm MX-Pros on mine and it rode beautifully.
I treated mine harder than any other bike I've owned and never broke it, so guess I'm either a pansy or must have had one of the revised ones (althogh it had ISCG mounts)
jimmy its a 3 bolt thing around the driveside side of your bb shell used for mounting chain devices. Looks like his.

Errrm, can't remember anyway. Its probably part of a fridge by now.
