Hmm.. Hab meine Pike auch bergauf fast immer offen.
Am Fully lass ich die Gabel auch meist offen - am Hardtail passt das aber einfach weniger. Dadurch dass es hinten steif ist - wippt die Gabel umso mehr. Klar im sitzen ist es egal - aber im stehen macht es schon viel Unterschied. Und grad am Hardtail fahr ich halt doch gerne auch mal länger im stehen.
Aber jeder wie er will. Du hast ja schließlich auch das Fastforward.
Zur Neuauflage - ja das hinten sollten sie echt besser lösen. Ansonsten sind die Probleme zwar etwas nervig - aber nicht so entscheidend. Sattelrohr natürlich auch ärgerlich. Insgesamt trotzdem ein super Rahmen.
Gäbs ein Hardtail aus Carbon mit der Geo vom Fastforward - dazu schön auf Flex gebaut - dann würde ich das schon vorziehen. Aber klar - das wäre dann ein anderer Preisbereich.

FASTFORWARD – REMAINDERS OF STOCK CAN BE ORDERED FROM SATURDAY ON
The first batch of FASTFORWARD frames is almost sold out – thanks a million! The last few frames will be available from our
online store from Saturday on. It's first come, first serve!
FASTFORWARD – NEXT BATCH WILL BE A LIMITED EDITION
After its successful introduction, now comes the next edition of the FASTFORWARD. All the essential features, visual appearance and geometry remain the same. Toleration of the seat post's inner diameter has been optimized meaning fewer frames being close to the tolerance threshold. In addition, the clamping of the rear wheel hub has been improved so that the rear wheel is protected against slipping out of place (see next paragraph for details). We have decided to reduce the amount of produced units for this batch since our capacities are limited and we prefer providing a smaller amount in perfect quality. The new FASTFORWARD frames can be pre-ordered from June 15 on. Check out our pre-order offers

FASTFORWARD – CLAMPING OF THE REAR WHEEL HUB
In some cases, a slipping of the rear wheel hub has appeared under high strain with the current FASTFORWARD. Several factors can be causal, sometimes in combination. At the moment, we are examining these factors and work on suitable remedies. Our favorite and most budding solution is in its final stage of field testing and we will keep you informed on the topic. Some customers noticed that the axle journals of the hubs in use are longer than normal (if Shimano, Sram and DT are used as a standard). For secure clamping, the axle journals must not be longer than 5.5 millimeters.
