Hello all, I just wanted to chime in that we did have a batch of rubberized protectors with bad curing of the adhesive to the rubber and if you have a bike with peeling issues just contact us and we can send replacement parts out (free of charge). Best contact is either to call us, have your dealer call or use email ( info@pivotcycles.com. )

The rubber on the struts? Mine have been peeling since day one I just didn't really think much of it
 
Can someone give me an idea of the SB weight on the XTR 1x configuration? With Reynolds carbon hoops and all?
And If someone has the weight of the bike on the new xx1 eagle configuration would be awesome.

I built mine last week (xt/xtr 2x) and with pedals (atlas flats) and it weighed 13.6kg.

Thanks in advance
 
I am going to Moab and trying to decide if I bring the 275+ sb or my wreckoning....before I got the sb I didn't think I would consider bringing it but now I think it may be there better bike. Anyone ride both bikes in Moab?
 
We just started shipping Switchblades with Eagle builds (had to get boost kits in stock )
Is it available with Eagle now? I've been waiting for that to make a purchase. I don't see any updates on their website.

I spoke to Pivot. Not yet but soon was the answer. They still need a working solution for the crank but hoped to have one within a few weeks.
 
I finally spent a day on the Switchblade 29" out in Loma and the Lunch Loops.

It felt like a well pedaling plow bike, that took quite a bit of effort to throw around. I ride a 429 Trail in ways I should not ( Snowmass, Winterpark, Keystone ), and had a chance to pedal around Noah's SB at Snowmass aways back... it was a large and it was huge.

I finally demo'd a medium and felt cramped. I'm going to demo a large next time and bring along some of my own setup/parts 30" bars, 40mm stem. I was so hoping the SB would be a cross between by former ( and beloved ) Mojo HD and my current 429 Trail, but so far it just isn't to be. The short rear end of the SB is nice off the back of the bike, but the front end felt like pushing a fridge around. Granted i'm on a 429T currently which is really easy to throw around and poppy for a 29er. Hopefully another go on a large with some tweaking might sort it out for me, otherwise i'll just keep the 429T and look for a more dedicated rig to race in the BME next season.

@Noah, any pointers on setup, specifically on the front end?
 
If anyone is interested in selling their alloy 27.5+ wheelset please pm me. I have the 29er SB version now and im interested in getting the 27.5+ wheelset as well if someone is not happy with them.
 
i have eagle on my wreckoning and although it is a great option my biggest concern is parts. if I break a der the only one that is gonna fit is eagle whereas with shimano in a pinch there are a bunch of options and availability and cheaper costs. I kinda regret the purchase due to the fact once I have to change anything out it is gonna cost a ton.
 
Anyone interested in stock aluminum DT swiss 29r 350 wheel-set with tires for Switchblade
OR if you want just the Boost 110 and 157 hubs to build your own let me know.

EDIT: Its the 29r stock wheelset

The plus is awesome in the chunk isn't it? The bike is so dialed. You should try putting your 36 at 160 and running the flush cup
