Stever: a 36 talas is precisely what I have, and have had for 5 years. But I think it's overkill and a bit heavier than I need. And 32mm stanchion forks, even with a 15mm ta are much too flexy for me. I think a 34 or 35mm stanchion with a 20mm ta and 150mm of travel would be perfect for this type of bike (that's meant to be ridden hard both up and down). taletotell: 32mm stanchion RS with 20mm TA are not limited to Psylo.... they are still making the Revelation and the Sektor with those specs...

150mm 34 Float with 20mm TA would be the ticket. Not diggin' the 15mm TA. at all. back to the Dixon... I like this bike. It seems to be built with the east coast of NA in mind. Short ups and downs, rough and wet. When my 2005 Enduro finally gives up the ghost, this could very well be the frame to replace it.... Thanks for the review. Also, any thoughts about how this bike pedals over rough stuff in comparison to a DW-Link bike? I've heard that the DW-link stiffens up quite a bit while pedalling through rough terrain, and I'm curious if this is exhibits similar tendencies. thanks.

cool idea, but... two words: rube goldberg!

Cruzian, I think you should at least try and keep up appearances for the company you represent. You basically just admitted, as an employee of Santa Cruz Bikes, that your company plans the obsolescence of their bikes. Not very good PR.

Silvia at Sun Peaks or.... "How to absolutely destroy a berm"... unreal.
