Ya it's a 26, mine has held up good so far I changed the gearing from the stock 42-16 to 42-19 so I can not kill myself going up the occasional hill. I also set the wheels up tubeless and run around 18psi so I have all kinds of traction now I broke the chain last time I tried racing it and had to run a mile pushing that sled
All in all it's a fun bike!

This might be an insanely dumb question, but how much of a difference did the 19T cog make? I want to go to an easier cog but not too easier- I have no point of reference as my only other 26" bike is a cargo bike. I see another dude used a 22T cog. Unsure of how much bigger to go.

Welp, my LBS ordered 3 for stock- two in blue, one in raw. I managed to not buy one from the first two releases Transition did, but now I think I'm done for- just need to decide on the color. Sorta torn, at first I thought the raw color, now I'm thinking maybe blue.

Above all, I am super thankful that my LBS is awesome enough to order these for their sales floor :lol:
