mm very nice- how are the brakes- ive wanted to do that ever since the new levers came out. theres just something bout the old 4pots for me. sweet spec aswell- you must be a big bloke though that frames rather large.

I'm 6'3" and 93kg in my sweaty socks. The brakes are the best mtb brakes i've ever used. Masses of power and heaps of modulation. Kind of a lighter version of the new Saints. If you already have the calipers, you must do it. The servo wave levers really do boost the power. I love 'em:)

They're good wheels, but at the price they should be! I do a lot of riding in loose dirt with lots of rocks mixed in. I've recently shredded two tyre sidewalls, but the wheels are running true as the day I bought them. XC weight with DH build.

Thats a nice ride mate, hope it rides as good as looks;) Good to see the Xt components, especially with the 'old school' 4 pots, they are pro!

It's love.
The only thing I can fault on the bike is a distinct lack of SRAM, other than that it is so incredibly dialled, props!
