Product DescriptionThe adjustability of the cockpit geometry and suspension settings makes the Scream the ultimate freeride bike.The increased rigidity makes the ride even tighter on skinnies and sketchy terrain. The dropouts have 3 wheelbase positions and fit 12mm through axle hubs with 150mm OLD spacing. The brake caliper adjusts with the wheelbase and most disc brakes fit.

from Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: May 3, 2011 Strengths: This frame is meant to last. Itll take a beating and still stand tall. Its adjustable for diffrent geometries of the bike. Looks menacing and beastly, and is a pure point-and-shoot bike for the trails. Weaknesses: Not going to lie, this thing is heavy. My rigs 45 pounds, so its a good workout to keep pedaling on flat or uphill. Also, the original version had horizontial dropouts, which kinda worried me when im running my QR on the back.

from San Clemente CA USA Date Reviewed: March 11, 2010 Strengths: Solid frame, solid suspension, handles well, looks cool. Also can stand up and pedal uphill without breaking traction. Weaknesses: Heavy. I think that's the only negative thing you can say about it. I put a 32 tooth front ring on and I ride with guys on 25 pound cross country bikes all the time. Sure they pull ahead on the climbs, but I leave them in the dust going down.
