How do you like the straightline silent guide? I bought one and plan to put it on the tracer 2 as well. Did you need to modify the cranks at all?
I really like it, easiest guide to setup that I've ever used. Should've ran one on my M9. No crank mods needed, just remove the inner ring and use the 2.5 mm spacers provided with the guide.

How long did it take to receive your frame? I just placed my order last night at Jensons. Yeah, I know, there is a long pre-order list. I should've pulled the trigger a long time ago. :madman: Oh, well.
The best way to describe it is like the heckler but with vpp, the heckler never had very good small bump performance and was just awful with a float shock but the tracer is super plush across the small bumps and even with the float feels bottomless on drops. I loved the riding feel of the heckler and wanted to get something as close to it as possible and it seems I have succeeded in doing so! Like I said it really is a super charged version

Mine arrived around March the 10th and I pre-ordered in January it was one of the first frames in the UK. So really the actual wait time was just for Intense to build the frames which was only a few weeks.

Nice build weescott! Can't wait for my frame to be delivered. I'll be using the same Talas 160 fork. Does the crown of the fork clear the down tube of the frame with that flush mount angleset?
The Tracer2 had it's first outing this weekend in the Scottish Highlands.
Verdict: Descending is just amazingly quick and lively. I demo'd a Rocky Mountain Slayer Carbon back to back with the Tracer2 on a rocky/rooty/loose section. The Tracer2 was MUCH more fun.
. With the 66degree HA it is like a mini DH weapon! For the climbs I ran the fork down to 120mm which worked ok. I was running 2.4" tyres so I was never going to be that quick.
@zhengki The right leg controls of the 36 clears the frame with about 2mm spare. The left leg with a few mm more.
@P-townDave. 180mm forks apart from being too big for the bike are more than I need for the intended riding of the Bike.
