not bad choices but there are things you could make better..

firstly if youre gonna run a fork on a sub make sure its lowered to 80mm, otherwise it feels nasty, a dj1 or a 4x would be nice.
M4/codes are way overkill and not needed, too much braking power which you wont even need. A juicy 5 or somthing would be great
ns districts are steel 22.2s. if you want 31.8s they do other bars in that size, theres no point having steel bars unless you ride rigid either.
tyre wise schwalbe table tops are alot better than maxxis, they weigh alot less and are faster
profiles are the best around, dont get an imperial though, get a 7075 (i think) sproket as itll last alot longer and be tougher, like a profile wake
dont get a pro 2 rear either, get a proper 1 peice driven hub which is meant for ss and will be alot tougher, also you want a nutted hub so you dont have to bolt down your dropouts
if youre gonna get spank rims get the subrosas, theyre a fair bit lighter. mtx and pimplites are a good choice too

check my sub out, its pretty dialled

Great build

An M4 or Code is too far for street. A Hayes Stroker Trail is enough and comes in white Big Grin

Also, The Spank wheelset is proper solid, Don't listen to people who say it is bad

Other than that, Nice build

Ya I figured the m4/codes wud be overkill but they also have 'stop-on-half-a-dime' power, pretty good bang for the buck..but im sure others are just as reliable and cheaper. Weight to me isn't an issue as much as it is to others, I'm not trying to fly this thing just ride it. but thanks so far on the comments, t'is really helping.

personally i wouldnt want a brake that powerful on a bike with horizontal dropouts. i own a code and have ridden many m4s and they just feel out of place on a hardtail, for dh you definately want codes but otherwise it doesnt matter. with a rear brake anyway youre only gonna lock it up anyway which isnt gonna really help if you ride trails or parks etc..

I have previously owned a set of M4's and I would never try them on a street bike... Simply suicidal if you ask me

I would go for a Stroker Trail or Juicy 5 or 7

yeah i ride alot of trails and find a juicy perfect, dont go for a 3 though if you crash alot as you cant fix them as easy

Well the best interest for me would be to scrap the codes/m4 as everyone suggests. The Hayes Stroker Trail Disc in my opinion is the better choice so then it will be added, I have owned juicy 3s & 5s and both times the seals broke, but they were roughed up alot, won't hurt to try out the Strokers.

Sounds a nice build.

What about a Magura for a brake?

I've tried Stroker's after owning a set of Hope M4s and Formula ORO K24s and I have to tell you, I was Impressed

There modulation is fantastic, Altough the power is what I expected, One finger braking is still possible. Also, they are a dawdle to fix Big Grin
