Thanks everyone. This one has been a long time in the making. Got lucky that the King Hubs match almost perfectly. I had to dremel on the Gate cap on the fork a bunch to get it to clear and an attempt at ghetto tubless failed. This was the first set of wheels that I've built up with Arrow's FRX rims, they trued up easily and feel really, really stiff.

The finishing touch will be a green Nemesis stem and black Nemesis bars, should be perfect then.

Sweet build man. I met a guy at the Pee Wee's Memorial Bike Festival that knows you. They call him Cranberry, a lil wired but still a cool guy. You should'a been there the freeride & dj comps were awesome. The guys really stepped it up this year. Huge creek gap at the end of the freeride stunts was killer. The dj comp was sweet too. A couple of back flips & a bunch'a 360's tossed in really kept everyone stoked. Sorry didn't mean to hi-jack yer thread Holmz. Nice build.

Yep, I've rode many days with Cranberry, a good guy indeed. Woulda love'd to make it to Pee Wee's but the trip from UT makes it a bit prohibitive these days. Those guys seem to always be stepping it up, it's hard to keep up.

LOL. Toni, you unintentionally stole my color scheme for the custom hardtail I'm having built. I was going to do a candy green frame color with I9 Enduros sporting green hubs and black spokes. You know, great minds....

It looks fantastic, man. You have great taste in bikes.

Email coming your way, BTW.
