Picked up and built this new size 2 Pedalhead last week. Just one quick ride so far, but I can tell it's gonna be so much fun once the trails thaw and drain a bit more. I forgot how efficient hard tails climb, but on this thing the descents might be event better! Parted out a '18 YT Jeffsy for the build. Got a DMR Defy 50 stem (~30mm stack) on since YT cuts the steerers super short and was cutting it really close with fork fit. Running a 170mm OneUp dropper, fit was super tight and it's slammed as far as it can possibly go. Need to trim down the brake hoses.
Been riding the Pedalhead more than the full sus lately, mostly for neighborhood/local pedals since public lands are mostly closed due to extreme fire danger. Went for a nice lunch ride today on some new to me "trails" near home. Ordered a 30t Wolftooth oval for it too, from the current 32t ring, should pair well with the 11 speed SLX and E13 TRS+ 9-46. Need to get a new saddle and rotors/pads/bleed/trim brakes.
