No rider weight limit on OCLV frames? OK, what about a 6′3″ 325 lb guy? NOW is there a weight limit?

To a question posted above: There is no rider weight limit on any Trek or Gary Fisher product.

ABP is not meant to get around any patents. It is a completely different design that aids in separating the braking force from the suspension force, thus reducing squat. Perhaps one of the best places to see how the ABP improves control is over a section of braking bumps.

ABP puts the FS pivot directly at the quick release. This prevents the suspension from locking up when braking. So, when you are descending and need to brake, your suspension remains active, continues to soak up bumps. While pressing down on a FS and looking at the rear caliper of an ABP bike and non-ABP bike, you will see the caliper moves more on a non-ABP bike than on an ABP bike.

I wish we could see an entry-level ‘29er at an entry level price. Or I am just hopelessly out of touch with MTB pricing?

As Fisher tweeted earlier today : No rider weight limit on OCLV frames. Still the same Limited Lifetime warranty that’s on all Trek/Fisher bikes.

Superfly 100 rides very very very well. The Rumblefish is an absolute blast too.

Nice job with the liveblog, Fatty!

Could you please steal that full suspension superfly for me? I really, really need one.

Grazie!

Wow, I’m 5′3 and I always thought a 29′er would be out of the question for me. Now that I see that Heather says it’s comfortable, I’ll have to check it out. I’m excited, I know how awesome they are on the trail!
