Some XCers have to run 8 inch rotors with XTR because they don't get enough stopping power with smaller rotors. These are average weight guys to, like 170 pounds.

Still, unless your a weight weenie (which I doubt), there are cheaper, more powerful options than XTR.

I agree with the formula, juicy elixir and XT part (don't forget SLX). Codes and new saint have to much power for him if he is that light. And I could never recommend strokers to anyone in good consciousness.

oh yeah, i forgot hes only like 120, if that light then the 7s would prolly be the best since they can be found at pricpoint for like $130 per wheel for the 203mm

For a bullit, a 7 inch in the rear is plenty, because for some reason there really isn't much weight over the rear end of the bike, so you find yourself skidding more that usual.

juicy 7s, because they are proven for everything, where as xt is more on the trail, all mountain, xc side.

Are you running single or double rings? Either way get a chainguide, they're totally worth it.
