I can’t possibly see that on XC trails.
How?!? Are you hiking up the climbs?
it climbs well. its not a goat but you would be surprised. the taniwhas pedal well, adding dual crowns doesnt change that

It kinda does. It adds a significant amount of weight, while also slackening the head tube angle. Both factors are not conducive for climbing.
But hey, to each his own. Beautiful bike regardless. If you can pedal that uphill for extended climbs, more power to you.
Puttint the dual crowns on didn't make much difference to me for climbing. It still seams the same to me. I had it long forked with a single crown before and the dual crown atc is almost the same. So only like a pound more up front and didn't raise it much. Still not a goat by any means but it I really love it as a do all bike. Have a riot on it wherever I ride
Those cranks are awesome, nice work. Really like the Taniwha, the price is just nuts though... isn't it like $6500 for just the frameset?
That includes drivetrain, so if you factor in whatever a high end drivetrain would cost (XO/XX/XTR) it's a lot more reasonable. That's before you factor in the savings over time with a gearbox rather than cassettes, chains, cables, rings
