I have the 26" Cobalts on my Ibis Mojo too. They held up very well, but I did have the freewheel hub replaced (older design). Very simple to replace and afterwards didn't have any issues. I also never had to true them and they hold air for my tubeless tires great. The customer service at CB is exceptional.
I've had the 29" Cobalts for about 2 months. One race and about 400 miles. So far so good. Did have to re-oil the prawls, but afterwards they are good. What I like about them is they are light, hold tubeless tires very well, customer service is great, and they look cool.
Just a heads up to anyone who has or is getting
a set of Cobalts. I have 3 sets of these wheels and
they have been bomb-proof, and have held up great.
However 2 of the three sets didn't have any lube as
in dry around the pawls. So make sure they are
lubed.

Do you have any problems with the brake levers touching the top tube? I'm building up my Large and it's driving me nuts! I'm thinking about buying a low rise bar so I don't have to run so many spacers. Looks silly the way it's set up now

I'm still playing around with the cockpit, I now have a Thomson setback post and a shorter (100 mm) no rise stem on it, trying to get it dialed in.

Never thought I would like a bar this wide, or [gasp!] bar-ends!
Nice call on the black wheel in the back...I thought of that after I built mine up. Not much of a picture taker (too busy riding), so I just have this so-so pic:

My new steed She's all done other than I'm waiting on a buddy to buy the Fox RL off me so I can grab a *WHITE* 2012 Fox 34 RLC for it. I built it with heavy duty trail use in mind so there's not a lot of weight weenie stuff on it. Everything's sturdy and yes, it's awesome at 120mm of travel and the Fox 34 will be set there as well.

Mine is the regular size Lefty. It depends on the stack height of your headtube with headset installed. If you are stack height is less than 138mm you can use the regular. The only headset I found that would work for fitting the regular Lefty to the large BT is the Crank Bros Directset. It came in at 137mm installed.
If you have to use the XL lefty you could end up with a large stack of spacers. In some cases that could raise the stem to an uncomfortable level.
