    HANDS down, most fun bike I have ever ridden, especially with a 150mm dropper. Just ridic amounts of grip and rip. This thing absolutely hauls & climbs just fine too. Couldn’t be happier with it. Only cost me $1000 too & then I sold my superfly race HT 29er for $1k but I had about $4400 into that bike lol

    I've never met someone who didn't like their stache. I have a fatbike I ride in winter, and even in the summer when I want some hardtail action. Really thinking about getting a Stache or Chameleon as my next N+1.

    Go ride a Stache but make sure it has a dropper! I used to think I needed a FS mtb but a trail hardtail like the Stache is absolutely what I needed. Even here in AZ, with all the rocky shelves and boulders, this bike is just ridic. I run about 12/14 psi F/R. It’s magical.

    My fatty is full rigid with no dropper. Life is def better with a little squish and/or a dropper. I've been avoiding riding a stache because I know one will end up coming home with me.

    Came home to find my discounted “blemished” @ragofabrication bed stiffeners waiting for me at the door. Seriously, you guys call these blemished? There’s barely a scratch on ’em. I almost feel bad for using a coupon code on top of the already discounted price.

    Ive had my eye on Northstar Group 27 for a few months. My dreams and fantasy's of turning Betty into a complete beast like your Taco are dying a slow and painful death. I am not sure if I am going to run enough accessories to bump up to group 31. decisions decisions

    Everything felt tight on mine this morning. The power steering was tight, felt like the gear oil would never warm up. There was a noticeable difference in the amount of drag the vehicle was producing when off throttle. If you just noticed the tightness today it might just be the cold weather. But were also talking about something that is subjective. I tend to notice the slightest difference in anything. I guess what I am saying is that my steering tightness was not concerning to me. Maybe your issue is something greater than the -11 degree weather that is causing mine.

    It's been occurring over the past few days.

    We've had a bout of a few cold weather days where I had little issue, so I can't keep imagining it's the cold weather.

    Where did you get that battery terminal on the hot lead? I need an extended terminal thanks to my X2/Northstar group 31 and this looks perfect.

    Edit: Looks like the Slee kit?

    Has anyone ever taken apart a push button LED switch? I was goofing around with a couple spares I had to see if could dampen the glow a bit. I was easily able pull the front face out of the body but after repleacing it, it won’t remain in the on position when I push it. It’s effectively a momentary switch now. Did I bust it?

    This has peaked my interest... Damn you TW! Maybe not till later on, quite pricey when I got other stuff to drop $500 on first.
