Hi Folks, I just picked up a 2012 Trek Mamba and wanted to create a thread strictly on the Trek 29er lineup. Goal is to have a one to go thread to learn more about our bikes instead of checking each thread on different build ups. This way we can get to know more of our bikes and see what others are doing as far as upgrades. Ill start off first:

Owner: Norm
Location: Bay Area, Ca
Bike/Setup: 2012 Trek Mamba all stock but looking to upgrade.
How long have you owned it: 1 month
Thoughts so far: Awesome bike and climbs like a goat compared to my 2011 Giant Revel.
Cons so far: None that I can think of

My TREK Superfly 5 2014 upgraded; I upgraded practically everything. I mainly wanted that frame.
most important upgrades:

wheelset: WTB Stryker TCS Cross Country Race 29″
fork: Fox 32 Float 100mm Terralogic Kashima
brakes: Shimano XT BR-M785
shifters: X7 and X9 2x10 Type 2
crankset: X9 28/42 GXP with SRAM press fit ceramic
casset: SunRace MX3 CHAMPAGNE 10sp 11-40

Now I am deciding how to convert to 12x142

Cool build! I love the frame. It is a similar concept to my Cobia.
