My old Big Hit rear derailleur hanger was such a delicate piece of garbage. Break wind and it would bend. It makes me wonder if it was the derailleur or the hanger. EricMac15 - don't be such a douche. You got anger management issues.

Yeah the Schraeder valve access is total PITA. I hate it. There's no good way to deal other than perhaps a prosthetic on your pump (worked for a while) or monkey fingers. You'd think they could move some of the cross-brace members under the glory hole to facilitate this access. Shouldn't be a problem for 2010 I suppose.

Congrats . . . this thing's a burly monster! I'm really starting to get a feel for it in the corners and have been railing turns and berms hard lately. It leans really well and is super stable when you flick it from side to side because of the low center of gravity. Rear suspension is pretty plush though you'll have to spend some time dialing it in for your tastes. I haven't met any Glory riders who have a common consensus on rear suspension set-up. Don't be afraid to throw a few dollars at a couple of different spring weights. It's key. I'm on a 300 lb/in. spring for 155 lbs to achieve about 31% sag. Some people say they ride best at 40%, other say they do best at 25%. It's your call. This bike also jumps like a champ. Really stable, no nasty rear end kicking into over-rotation. Wheels are Mavic 823 tubeless, regular 2.5" Minion DHF 3C front, regular 2.5" High Roller DH 3C rear. Awesome tires. They hook up like mad in dirt and tacky mud. They hold a reasonable line in mud but they're not mud tires. Glory DH is awesome. Get out there and pin it!
