The rear hub didn't survive the winter, it was some basic Shimano jobbie with cup and cones and loose bearings. So that gave me an excuse to buy some hope hoops this summer which have made quite the difference. But all in all its pretty good, Its a XL so a 20in long frame. Reach is perfect as iv'e got monkey long arms but in the idea world id like a bit more top tube clearance for my local trails (Aston Hill) as if i have to stop mid trail and re mount, as most of it is pretty steep there's a fair chance of nutting myself the top tube. Thing the long wheel base really aids the stability of on the DH with out the need for chopper slow steering. Really liking it.
