This rack literally takes 5 mins to put on or take off; it's really a great design. And will make clearing the roof of snow much easier. :lol:
You have roof rails right?
Nope, but there are slots in the roof, under the weatherstripping that are there for the rack. It's loosening 4 nuts and squeezing the metal tabs together to pop the rack off.

This blows my mind that Subaru of all brands doesn't include rack mounts on the Impreza. :mindblown:

Oh they're on the Impreza. For 2015-2017 they weren't on the WRX/STI. For reasons. Now they're back on the WRX/STI because of the number of complaints they received.

Even BMW and Porsche have mounts.

:jimp:

DVO Diamond 29er fork with 150mm travel and 35mm stanchions for $550. That's a hell of a deal and a sturdy-ass fork. Pretty freaking big doe, 150 on a 29er is solidly enduro category.

This fork is too big for my hardtail. And my hardtail needs too much stuff to make it worth resurrecting IMO.

I haven't either. Stopped riding, gained 10lbs in stomach gut. Feel like absolute crap.

I just need to get through the holidays and it'll turn. This time of year sucks even more when your family is half a world away.

No idea why I'm looking at MTBs when it's 0* outside, but eh, just dreaming of warmer spring days on the trail. I've been all about the Trance Advanced 2 since I demoed one in the fall, but man, this bike is hard to ignore -

Carbon front and aluminum rear just like the Trance, but a Pike RCT3 instead of the Revelation RC and a 1x12 setup instead of the 1x11 SLX groupset on the Giant. Rims are alloy instead of carbon, doe, but it's also $500 cheaper.

Yeah keep in mind tho mail order vs shop, Revelation is a lower end Pike, and Giant suspension is 4 bar vs a single pivot on the Canyon.

I hear ya on the mail order thing. Made the mistake of buying a bike I hadn't ridden once. I'd have a hard time trying that again, especially when I know I love the Trance.

I'd love to hoon a Canyon for a day and see how it rides. I've seen so much good press and feedback and it's good to see them over here.

I got lucky with my Orbea - it won a few bike of the year awards and was generally well received, and was told it rode something between a Remedy and a Trance/Anthem.

I don't know if i'd ever commit to a stupid purchase like that again without a test ride, doe.
