Took 4 days to arrive great discounts at the moment aswell. It came with e7000 shifter and southpaw under bar dropper remote aswell which were going to be the only changes I was going to make. so a result there.

4 days ! and those changes are what I would make as well.

I've had a 29 er in my shopping cart for 2 weeks whilst procrastinating, during that time, the price went down and now this, it must be a sign.

Did you need to swap the brakes over, eg rear to left lever ?

Yes brakes are wrong way around. I am going to see how I get on with them before I swap them. I was very close to getting the 29er have always had 27.5 so i bottled it in the end and stuck to what i no. They are mega spec for the money even before the discounts

Order just placed

I'll definitely have to swap the brakes over, I think in a panic situation I'd grab a fistful of front brake by mistake otherwise

Which 29er did u go for? I will probably swap brakes over aswell.

 

[tedturbine]

I went for the signature, can't wait now

Nice looking Meta!!

Commencal hooks it up fast. Mine was at my front door in like 4 days as well

 

[Jamsxr]

These bikes just look so sweet ?

Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

 

[tedturbine]

When is yours due Jamsxr ?

 

[Jamsxr]

Monday/Tuesday (29 Signature) i think. I ordered it from a shop in the U.K. (Bike Active) - they matched the discount and will support any warranty issues.

 

[Leeroy678]

first blast out up whinlatter. The grip off the plus size tyres is unreal. I am normally a bit slower when its dry and dusty up whinlatter but the bike felt so planted it gave me massive confidence. I am loving it?

Only niggle was the brakes being the wrong way around for the UK. But to be honest I am used to it after 2 rides so not going to bother changing it. Other than that its awesome

My new Commencal Meta HT Power turned up last week with the brakes in the Euro/US position. So to avoid any mishaps out on the trails I just swapped the hoses over. I should have asked them to do it for me.

It only required two small nuts to be removed. I followed the instructions here:

 

[tedturbine]

I asked for mine to be swapped when I ordered and they've confirmed that's been done.

Anyone know if this adds any significant time to receiving the bike?
