The Bad
Doesn't fit everyone
Overall Review
This saddle came on a DH bike that I bought and decided to try it on my trail bike. The first ride I had to turn back and put my old saddle on about 20 minutes into the ride. The 2nd try I toughed it out the whole way, but only because I wanted to give it an honest go. I REALLY wanted to like this saddle, the color matched my trail bike way better than the one I took off, but I just couldn't get on with the shape. Just sitting and peddling on it was painful and it got worse as I started to climb

I'm hard on rear hubs. I have gone through 3 rear hubs in the past 3 years. Sunringle? Dead. Spank? Dead. Shimano? Dead. I kept replacing them with a full pre-built wheel and was on a budget, so this the nicest hub I have ever used, though I have ridden around the parking lot on I-9 and King hubs. If you drew a 10 inch line and on the far left performance was terrible, and on the far right performance was excellent, these would be about 1 inch from the right. They are excellent. The engagement

I had these blue bars on my old Yeti SB66C and loved them. So much so that when I sold the bike and couldn't find another similar bar, I offered to buy back the bars for full price. The sweep and flat rise was great at keeping weight over the front wheel and at 760mm wide, they didn't feel too big to fit through narrow trees. After getting some 785mm bars and going back, they did feel a bit narrow, but its always about what you are used to. If you are looking for a bar that is a great value and

DEITY Compound Flat Pedal
The Good
Cheap. Color choices. Composite (great from my dirt jumper/skate park bike). Fairly thin.
The Bad
Not quite grippy enough.

My HT AEO3's are on their way out but have longer pins. Switching from clipless to the HTs was never a very noticeable issue. These Deitys tend to let my feet wander much more. I will likely take them off the Trail bike and stick them back on the DJ like Intended originally.

Overall Review
I just can't believe how much fun I have had on this bike! The Trail Pistol climbs really well, making easy work of ascents. The steep seat tube angle puts you over the pedals making it easy to climb incredibly steep pitches. Seated, there is no noticeable pedal bob, and the heavily damped Deluxe rear shock keeps bob to a minimum during out of the saddle assaults. Initially, I found the steeper seat tube angle in combination to feel very strange and foreign, but not uncomfortable. After having
