Things that are different than my current 2006 ride...
* 29 vs 26 wheels
* Geometry has changed from the old days by a lot
* One-by transmission
* Tubeless fat tires
* Seatpost dropper
* Electronic shifting
* Through-axles on both ends
* Torque specs printed on the frame at the bolt
* 200mm disc brakes
* Adjustable linkage angles including the fork
did I mention geometry?
I rode S4 S5 today at my 6 feet zero inches tall Shorter leg longer torso S5 is it no doubt

Just the overall feel of how you ride it has changed. Now it's flow before it was technical handling. Everything is groomed trails now, wasn't always that way kids. The 2006 was based on the 98. 2023 Next weekend. It will be a nice step up
Today was the maiden voyage on dirt
2024 has been very wet, desired trails closed every Saturday for a month
The new bike was an experience, but mostly we suffered from old it was hard
I want to go next weekend
The Erik's experience was bad. Don't get me started
Ok, here's the weirdest thing, my bike and Sean's bike are basically the same dimensions.
Geometry of almost everything is very similar. The wheelbase was the biggest difference mine longer. His seatpost is taller. I'm 6 he's 6,4
Last weekend first ride Lebanon Hills great trail I suffered figuring out the controls But I mostly suffered powering it. Lots of stops with heavy breathing.
Second day today Murphy Hanrehan great trail. Mostly figured out but still lots of stops for heavy breathing. I love this bike
Next weekend Theo Wirth.
Weekend after Cuyuna...
Much longer wheelbase overall, makes a huge difference Nice supportive suspension
Need to understand the adjust the electronic shifting
Thanks Sean I love this bike
Having some issues with my high tech electronic shifting. Same as any derailure needs an adjustment. Ghost up shifting under load. Means climbing suddenly gets much harder... Yes please fix it
Figure out how to adjust it I guess. Did I mention that I love the bike?
