Bought this frame real cheap of the buysell as I wanted to give a full sus a go and see how I like it. So far it's awesome, only ever ridden hardtails before. Will probably get a better frame in the new year and run with some almost new fox 34's that I got off ebay incredibly cheaply.
I've made a few changes recently as I had some time off the bike.
Added XT M8000 1x11 11-42 gearing and brakes, as well as some new XT trail pedals and an Absolute Black oval n/w 32T ring which has definitely made a big difference on wet slick slow speed techy climbs....and seems faster on the flat than the round ring it replaced too .
*puts on my best David Attenborough impression* and here we shee a wild yeti in its natural habit, you can see the hunting ground up the hill in the far background; with its pray laying behind it, the sheen of the sweat intermingling with the mud and earth thrown up by its unrelenting pursuit through all terrain.......
