google that shit! plenty of people have, 200mm is way too much for a sxTrail, and people have sheared the headtube off, but a lowered to 180mm will be fine. Sam Hill had a sxTrail with a boxxer on it lowered to 180mm when he was still on Specialized.

sxTrail is a great bike, and it rips. It is not a DH bike, it will handle rough terrain very well but, it will not carry speed like a DH bike does. I run a totem on mine.

Two different websites selling bearings for SX Trail 2009. One is £30 one is £70. Are they legit? Don't want to install sh*t bearings!

I got my bearings from these guys: http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/

Was canny pleased when they turned out to be Enduro Max bearings.

What's the large cog on your cassette? I was looking to upsize my cassette on my crossmax sx's but was concerned with the torque damaging the free hub body.

Hope 40 Tooth T-Rex, The hubs due a service so when I do I'll check the freehub and let you know how it's stood up.

I just found as i was putting on my rear wheel to finish my build, the wheel is completely off centre, the seatstay is rubbing the tyre!! Its an 09 sxt frame with spank spoon hubs. PLEASE help because iv'e been looking forward to finishing it for literally about 6 months and its my first 'proper' mtb so i wanna get out on it asap.
Could it be to do with the DT swiss thru axle? All the measurements are right btw, 135x10.
