My build list so far is
Fork- Rockshox Totem Solo air
Brakes- Avid Codes in white, 8" rotors
Derailleur- Sram X.9
Shifter- Sram X.9
Crank- Shimano Saint
Chainguide- White E.Thirteen LG1
Pedals- Straitline in X-ray or red
Rims- White Syncros DS28 with red nipples

I still don't know what I want to run for a cassette, hubs, bar, stem, seat, seatpost, bb, or chain.

What would you guys suggest? Im looking to spend no more than 300 on each hub, and everything else just suggest anything.

Thanks alot!

Chain - Sram PC-991
Cassette - Sram PG-990
Bar/Stem - Gravity light
Seat/Post - SDG Ibeam
Hubs - Hope pro 2

I don't know what your budget is but this stuff is pretty pricy.

Im selling my Reign X1 from this year for what I paid for it, I already have buyers and I work at my Lbs so budget isn't too much of an issue.
And thanks for the help!

I was thinking a gold chain, I saw one awhile back that looked really nice but I can't remember which one it is. I think im going to go with a white bar too.

I think KMC has a gold chain but I'm not sure. If you want white, go with the 08 deity bar/stem. There supposed to be lighter than before and they look HOT!

You should buy the bike stock, it comes with the new Hammerschmidt cranks. Then just sell the parts you don't want off of it and upgrade.

I'd personally go for a coil Totem, I've ridden both air and coil and the coil feels far better to me. Well worth the marginal increase in weight, not to mention it doesn't have reliability issues. Maybe a Vivid in the back to match the Totem, plus it's cheaper than a DHX.

Yeah it comes with a 4 or 5, im going to keep that. I want the solo air for the adjustability more than anything, because I do alot of freeriding and Downhill. I dont want to be bottoming out my fork when I do freeriding, but I can go faster if it is really soft for downhill. Does the coil have compression adjust like the argyle 318? because my buddy has that and if the compression does that much to the totem coil I would be good with a coil..and the price of a coil is better anyway.

The coil has High/Low speed compression, rebound, preload (I think), and floodgate adjustment. Atleast mine did.

Okay, the only reason I want that is because I had a Fox 36 Van R this year. I loved it the only problem was that the only way to make it any stiffer or softer was to change the springs. It was soft enough for Dh, but way too soft for freeriding. I may go with the coil then because it feels better, and its also cheaper..
