Those slots for the linkage & rear triangle look like a really bad idea for mud and grit?? Same for the lower link as well actually?? ๐Ÿ˜•

I decided this morning that if they brought out a Tranny 29er I would sell all I own to get one, but I'll test one of those for them if they ask nicely! ๐Ÿ˜†

Doesn't stand out as much as the mojo, shame. Niner still has it for sexy carbon.

Hmmm, there might just be a tallboy frame for sale next year... However I would probably also need new forks, front mech, bottom bracket and possibly rear hub by the looks of things so perhaps not.

Front triangle / top shock mount looks very similar to Blur LTc - colour same as 2010 version too.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of material around the bottom bracket area.

I still have some equity in my house so I suppose I could re mortgage!
