Holy crap that is so so hot.
It looks that much hotter at 90mm too, as the first 2 pics make me cream my pants.
Good luck with it, truly one of the hottest hardtails i have ever seen.

not sure of the ratio anyone got any ideas what it might be ??
divide the number of teeth on the chainring by the number of teeth on the cassette... i think thats it anyway...
