If you intend ever getting an expander sprocket for the cassette, then go SLG, If not then ZEE. XT shifters are pretty cheap, I got one of them to partner my ZEE Mech

Alright Smile . How do you find them?

Killer build overall, but for personal(!) preference i would stick with some Spank or e13 rims, and a different chainguide Smile
For extrapimp effect you'll also need a Gold KMC chain! Pimp

This is my beloved steed:

Since i'm switching to 650b, i got a good deal on some Spank Spike Race wheelset.
Which colour should i pick? Red,black or blue? ATM the bike has a black x-fusion sweep, reverb and black wtb volt saddle. Also the bar/stem combo is temporary, so don't consider it Big Grin

blue if you like colour in a bike and don't mind being a bit different... but if you prefer a subtal look go with black tup
