120 has smaller wheels, and doesn't come in XL. Stage MAX has negligible extra travel, but has bigger wheels, and comes in XL. Carbon was a bonus. The rear end, according to people that have ridden both, is "apparently" more stable while putting the power down on the Stage and Stage MAX. I haven't ridden the 110 or 120, so I can't comment there. Either way, you're going to smile.

Now we're talking. As soon as I get a gap.

Do those rim decals come in the blue from the Stage? Yes please.

It doesn't need to be replaced that often. I've replaced mine once in 2 years. Great post. Not worth the extra money over a reverb though. Same same. (I have both). They've both wanted servicing quite soon. Both develop sag (easily fixed by cartridge service).

Too much power!

I got the impact low's. They are great shoes. Maybe a bit heavy for some, and not very waterproof (you can help this with scotchgard for leather). Love them. The answer with 5.10's is more than one pair! One for each style of riding... [emoji16]

Nice!

Awesome. Matching bottle cages are over rated! [emoji12]

I may never give it back if it works!

Seriously, I can't emphasis it enough. These are game changers. Sure, I'm a little biased, but I just can't believe how good the bike is. (Stage MAX here) I also meant to ask you, what bottle cages are you guys recommending for the top tube? I've tried the bontrager RL, and it throws bottles lime it's on purpose! My mate uses the spez side entry cage with great results, but it says Specialized on it! (I'm not that fussed about spez, but keen to hear other options....)

Hey. I've moved the Cupping discussionto here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/157108-truth-coffee-cupping/ Was getting a little off topic for this thread, and the group message wouldn't allow more than 6 people...

Ok. I'll send everyone a group message to chat about details.

By the looks of things, you make it yourself!

Yip. That's my concern. We're already over subscribed....

OK, That escalated quickly. I have a list of 18 20 people already... I think we need to hit pause for a second. Date and time was suggested by V12man to be after Epic registration on Saturday 12th May. Does that work for you? What's the Maximum number you could accommodate? Sorry guys. This is obviously such an awesome idea and opportunity that it got a great response very quickly!!!

1.98m... And feels like I have long arms. I have some Rapidé 780 bars I'm going to try first.

Currently running a KORE Mega riser 760mm (That's what it came with).

Very rough.

Sure. I guess I'm wondering if the stem length being the same on all sizes makes "sense". I'm probably going to get a more educated guess at if it's needed after a fitting...

So. I would like some thoughts on a stem for the XL Stage Max. It came with the same stem as the large. I'm tall. Probably slightly taller than the intended fit for the XL. I feel like I could use another 20mm on the stem (it's currently a 50mm). Any thoughts on handling?

There seems to be! I'll go through the replies and put a list together... Guys, please PM me if you're keen?

Now that's something I understand! I was right there next to him!!

This is for the truth cupping Epic special, just in case anyone was wondering!

Can you blame him?

Sorry man! That sucks!!!
