Sticky mount works great as long as you use the little rubber insert to stop the clatter/wobble on the QR. Awesome tune choice John. :P

yeah it's very nice. big fan of the straitline guide and the hope tech m4s too. plus having a reverb again is a welcome bonus. :)

Pivot Cycles Launches Carbon Mach 5.7 – Interbike 2011

I agree. Very happy with 13.9"/68deg for AM/ trail use on my current 160mm bike.

Frame weight is very competitive. The rear end is more stiff than plush, but the suspension works well. Anti-squat is very well engineered and there is very little flex. I found it a tad slack with the 36 on the front, it's quite a slack geo even with a 150mm 32.

it does look it in the photos - minr is the same year as your wifes except im cheekily running a 170mm lyric to get some extra slackness - angle adjust bushings would always be an option...
