I don't think I'll bother, just does Not interest me in the slightest. I'll wait 3 weeks and read about something better

I rode a Trance for a month whilst I was without my 66C. I enjoyed it, it's a good bike. I even considered getting one until the 66 got back and just blew it out of the water.

Sooo, I've put an order in for the new bike that is yet to be released based on what my local distributor, Black Seal, has said.
Which is basically, "It's gonna be amazing!!"
I was going to order the SB95c for her, but he recommended this as a replacement for her stolen ASR5.
Based on this, I'm assuming it will be of the new wheel size, but not knowing exactly what it is making me crazy!! (Not to mention, jealous!) Oh, and apparently it's not got the Switch either, hmmmm.
How long do I have to wait to find out Andrew?!

Exactly what I was expecting in terms of travel and wheel size but the new linkeage is engineering voodoo, to combine the switch with a form of rail system is genius, awesome looking bike.
I'll be sticking with my 66 for a while I reckon.

Really like the look of the bike and enjoy the engineering side.. it's quite clever. Unlike some others I think the bike looks very nice and I'd be ordering up right now if it wasn't for the fact I live in the UK.
I think I spy some grease ports on the rail system?.. but seriously looks like a cleaning and maintenance nightmare for us mud pluggers. I get the open system to let people see it and allow water and mud to drain but some sealed cover plates would not go amiss. Clear plates with drainage at the bottom to keep the worst of the mud off...
So yeah mixed reaction from me.. looks sweet and like the idea... but can't ignore the obvious reliability/maintenance/cleaning issues.
Wonder if the replacement bushings are the standard fox bushings or some special size..

There are grease ports on the Switch and the recommended lube interval is 40 hours which doesn't seem too bad. I agree with rocket though that I'd be worried about that crappy UK mud taking its toll. It already claimed the switch bearings on my SB66c once.
