First Look: General Lee Wide-Range Cassette Adapter
If you want 9 speed and a clutched mech then you can apparently run a SRAM 9 speed shifter with a shimano 10 speed mech. The shifting ratios of the 9 speed SRAM is very close to the ratio of the 10 speed shimano. Have a google of it for more info, im gona be giving it a go in the summer.

Awsome mate, would be cool to see the pic as there aren't many out there to see other peoples take on the bike and what spec they decide to go with.

The Argument For Short Travel Bikes - Opinion
I've gone from a hardtail to a glory and now I'm riding a 5" travel DMR bolt which has turned out to be the perfect bike for me, I can ride everything that I rode on the glory but actually slightly quicker because the bolt rolls considerable better.
There was nothing wrong with the glory but I am very glad I made the change as it has improved my riding no end.
I do think its simply down to personal preference and what type of bike suits your riding style, also some people may not lack ability but confidence and a long travel bike can help improve the confidence and so let the ability shine through.
Thats my two cents, let the debate continue.

Its a wicked bit of kit, cant recommend it enough. If you can cope without gearing it then the single speed makes for such a quiet ride.

Cheers, yeh its pretty cool with 5" travel but feels a lot like a hardtail to ride an ya can lock out the shock so then it is just a hadrtail. The forks are doing pretty good actually, nice and smooth and the ATA limits of 120-160 are exactly what the frame is designed around. They work good on the DH trails at 160 and i use the bike to ride to work sometimes so i set the forks down to 120 and lock them out which is solid. A mate had two runs on it and is now buying a set of these forks for himself to replace his top dog RS Sektors.
So far its been the perfect bike for the various types of riding i do.

Its a little steeper but shorter, my issue is that i have health issues with my legs after breaking them both in a motorbike accident a few years ago so i have very little strength in them. I can ride all day down hills and on the flat but as soon as i hit an uphill my legs just give up so i cant run too hard a gear.
