Hey Guys! So been loving my Storm 1 lately! I just have a question that myabe someone can answer for me. I havent had my bike set up professionally yet, i know the basics of leg lengths etc so just set it up to what felt comfortable. on the shorter rides I feel great but on rides over 2hours I find my arms begin to ache and i feel that I am sitting a bit too close to the handlebars. I rode 3hours on Sunday and on Monday my shoulders were so stiff and sore! Is this from the wrong stem length, saddle being too far forward, or both? I noticed that the stem on my Storm is pretty short compared to my old bike. Thanks Lyle

Hey guys, So i ended up going for the Storm 1.0. The shiny XT and SID got the best of me! haha! Got it on fri eve and Saturday was way too rainy so took it to Tokai this afternoon(not much less rainy and wet anyway and wow what an amazing ride!!!! I've been on an alu, dual-sus, 26er and I cannot even compare two! I flew up hill that I normally break a sweat on and the two rings intead of three didnt seem to hinder me as there was such an increased power transfer to the real wheel with no rear shock to dampen it. The SID was a little soft but I just need to get a shock pump and get it to the right pressure. Rode it home after on the road and I swear it felt better than my road bike. I'm sure the Storm 2.0 would have been just as amazing but don't regret the few extra k. Thanks for all the advice guys! Lyle

I'm trying to decide whether I'd like to spend the extra 3k or so and go for the silverback storm 1.0 instead of the 2.0? The frames, wheels, etc are the same, the only difference is xt and Sid rl shock instead of slx and Reba rl shock. Is the extra money worth what I'll be getting? Even if I can't really feel a difference is the quality much different, resale better, reliability better? I'm pretty set on one of the two so not looking to go for another brand. Thanks
