Looks like the deal is dead at REI. Price up to $749.
The Salsa website is still showing $599.
Was going to pull the trigger on the REI deal today, guess I shouldn't have waited!

At this price I may just skip REI’s Salsa Rangefinder Deore 10-Speed 29 Mountain Bike. Will use this bike for friends visiting who’s looking to hit the trail

For me this a pretty solid deal vs anything Walmart has. I'd just add a dropper post and be fine for a while

I'm 5'8". Would there be any reason to get the medium (5'8" - 6') instead of the small (5'3" - 5'9")?

I would take this over the OT bike. This comes with a group set that is both wider range and higher quality. It also has hydraulic brakes out of the box. It's a bias of mine but if the OT brakes...

You need to bed the brake pads in when new, then they should be good to go. Failure to do so properly can result in lackluster braking performance.

Picked up the bike today and took her out for a ride.
Initial impressions:
1. I love the large 29 inch tires. They make the ride smooth and easily roll over everything.
2. Front fork is much...

Having owned both I'd disagree. The Canyon has the better drivetrain and marginally better stock fork (both are coil-sprung) but you get a much better overall package with the Salsa. 120mm front...

It's a fancy trick, but fails often when tossing wheels in the car. I used to do much the same before TA. Jumped on the TA bandwagon to never need to deal with it again and enjoy the extra rigidity...

A trick that I do with quick release is that I flip the lever and count how many full rotations it takes to slip off. When I put the wheel back, I know it will take so many rotations and it will be...

The bigger benefit with a thru-axle or a thru-bolt is that you won't have your disk brake pads rubbing because they aren't lined up exactly the same way every time you take the wheel off. On the...

Geometry is just a bit more slack for the 27.5, but not a huge amount - both are in the classic XC range. Components look the same. So IMO, get the 27.5 if you are looking for a S/XS frame, and 29...

I wouldn't mess around with it. Swap the tires is fine but I wouldn't do any more upgrades in a 2017 Trek Marlin 5 with a 3x7 (Tourney/Altus drivetrain). The bike is Trek's entry level line and is...
