 ur welcome, and thanks, than things is going to nice, try a fox fL 100 of some other 32mm lower travel xc fork from fox, it might cost more, but belive me it will be worth it in the long run.

 Nice to see an XC build collaged, it's an awesome riding discipline what doesn't get the hype it deserves.

But one question: Why Avid brakes?
  • 0 0
 good deal, like $70 each. i might swap them out eventually to something better, but all the Avid brakes I've used i haven't had a problem. if i do swap them out I'll probably go Magura.

 Ahh, I see. You know me, though. I can't stand Avid brakes since my experience with them. Magura are awesome!

 Sidi Dragon 2 SRS Carbon?
Those are like $500 here, can't that money be better spent elsewhere?
  • 0 0
 lol yeah, i wouldn't spend $500 on shoes, just stuck them there because they looked good. I'll probably just stay flats anyway.

 nice. Haven't really heard much of hutchinson tyres...

 i have one on my rear right now. its not the lightest, but I'm not a major weight weenie. there by far the best tires I've ridden though, grip everything, and takes forever to wear down, not to mention there not that expensive.

 oh, well i got mine through warranty. i didn't know you could call and order just a frame, thanks though. I'll probably order the 010 at the end of next season then.

 um okay, who are you anyway? you've posted random spam on all my pictures.

i don't care about weight that much, it doesn't make sense to pay an extra $2000 to drop 2 pounds when your going to be carrying around a water bottle that weighs that much.

 Hydrapak/Camelback's eliminate the need for a water bottle. Razz

And my guess is he's a troll.
  • 0 0
 yeah, i use a camelback. i sometimes bring a water bottle though on long-ish rides, i have a water addiction.

 I can't drink that much! Eek

I only drink about 2 liter's if I have a super long ride.
