I picked up the Revel late last year but I had been limited to local / solo trips on it until I could also upgrade my rack.
My old rack was a hanger-style hitch rack that I dragged around my hardtail with. I finally upgraded to a Kuat NV 2.0 rack, so I hit up some trails over the 4th holiday.
The Revel is amazing and I’ve been super happy with it. I am between a L and XL frame size for the Rail29. I went with a L and added a longer stem, and the fit is perfect for me.
Sorry it’s not technically a NBD, more like a NBRD.
