Interesting. My Gnarvana seems much more playful than my SB150......so I can't really imagine even more playful. Sounds sweet. Damn bikes!!!

Honestly, we all spend so much time talking about one frame versus another. There are so many other factors that go into a bike. The GG world takes it a step further and talks about how great the bike is, but they need to change every component except the front triangle! So many bikes are awesome right now. Chances are high that if you ride three different Gnarvanas one of them will feel much more playful than the others. Same goes with the SB150 and all the other bikes. Don't put a coil and heavy tires/inserts on a bike and feel it might just come alive!

I should have my fork issue behind me in a couple days on the Gnarvana thanks to maggot power!

There really isn't a one bike quiver as we all know unless you only do one kind of riding. I definitely need a shorter travel or at least lighter build bike for everyday/fitness rides/riding with the GF etc. The SB120 was super fun, but almost too XC. I definitely overworked the 34 on a lot of the trails around here. I could crush the uphills on it, but on anything with sustained downhill or good amount of rocks I definitely had to dial back my speed quite a bit. I see why a 130/150 bike with no inserts and an airshock might just be the ticket. It will still feel very light on the uphill compared to my GG hog, but sounds more than capable on the down. If Rhys is getting the podium on a Druid then us mere mortals will not be able to take it to it's limits very easily if at all.

Anyone ever have a OneUp EDC tool start to rattle? I've had one (steer tube, threaded mount) for about 18 months now. Recently started chasing down a rattle on my bike, thought it was finned XT metal brake pads, headset, internal cable routing but nope, the multitool in my EDC is ratting within the carrier. If I take the EDC out and put in my pocket, noise stops. If I shake the EDC I can hear the allen keys/tools rattling against each other. It was definitely silent before, not sure how it's developed play. Going to email OneUp but thought I'd ask here in case I'm missing something obious.

Check the bottom plug. I've had that slide down over time and stop doing it's job (keep the tool from rattling against the steerer tube).

I've also had the multi-tool rattle in the pump style. I tightened it up (too much first time) and all was good.

Yep, try tightening up the ‘axles’ of the multi tool and see if its individual tools or the whole unit.

Thanks guys, it was this. Didn't realize the axles were threaded... and yeah, cranked them down then realized that prevents the tools from rotating on the axle so backed it off a bit and viola no more noise.
