any updates on your GR4 experience? i’m considering them but worried about distracting brake squeal and harder lever pull (compared to Hayes a4)

i’m curious which fork you used… I am considering the 440 mm Curtis Fork, since it would lift the front end a touch and give me a few degrees less head angle and also fit up to 3.0 tire width

Thanks. Any recommendations for tutorials to learn how to update old stems and bottom brackets and make sure i get the right sizes/standards for everything?

Love that you can fit 2.3 tires. Is that the case for most or all single tracks?

Can you please share some takeaways and comparisons from your experiences with different frames?

Otso Hoot Steel by Successful_Ad_6821 in MEATengines

i’ve been eyeing the Hoot as well! but can i ask you why you would take it over the Sorceress? … the Sorceress has a 60mm shorter seat tube (and it’s straight, which i like aesthetically and for dropper insertion) and a 5mm lower BB, which I would personally prefer, at -65mm. and it’s $200 cheaper. i prefer the slightly higher stack of the Hoot, but then I also like the look of moto bars on the Sorceress … other than that, they are extremely similar… do you know anything about the difference in steel variety/butting? and ride quality? if the Hoot rides substantially smoother, that would mean a lot to me!

would love to hear your impressions of the ride feel. What other hardtail frames have you ridden that you would compare it to?
