[gravityfreaky]

Finished her yesterday and managed to squeeze in a quick ride.

Frame: Large
Shock: CCDBA
Fork: Marz 55 Rc3 Ti
Stem: Truvativ 60mm
Bars: Spank
Brakes: SLX with Ashima Rotors (203f 160r)
Wheels: ZTR Flow on Hopes
Tyres: Schwalbe Hans Dampf (setup tubeless)
Post: KS Lev
Saddle: Selle Italia
Crankset: SLX
Guide: Superstar Plasma with Gamut bash ring
Chain Ring: Renthal 34t
Pedals: XTR Trail
Cassette: Shimano xt 11-36

Rear Derailleur: Shimano Zee

Total Weight: 14.3 kg's

Initial impressions:
Pedals well - snappy. Not as plush as the 150mm bike it replaced (Intense Tracer). Very stiff and therefore very responsive and intuitive. Corners very well. Has a 'poppy' feel which makes it a lively bike to ride. The back wheel and front wheel feel like they're singing from the same hymn sheet. Early days but good first ride. Oh and feels lighter to ride than it is.

Hi there !

What about the kick back ?
How do you feel it ?

Kick back?

Are you running HD 2.4" front and back? I couldn't find any info on rear tyre clearance. I picked up HD for the front but still need a rear. Start building this week.

I have run a HD in the rear - heaps of clearance - no issues.

What's your build going to be?

Raced it this weekend - very good bike.
