My_ACE_The Final Build. The Stock cranks got favorable reviews. The stock SUNPEED pedals are absolutely HORRIBLE. Those are not screws for traction, they are part of the cast and will break off in short order, and they are there, just to rip your shins open as your foot slides right off the pedals. But the REAL HORRIBLE part is that they don't spin, at all. They only turn with a wrench on them, or if you mash your foot into them. I am ordering replacements right away.

My_ACE_The Final Build. The Marque "Grapple" Grip is a 1/2 waffle, dual-density, Lock-on design. That also features little "Pillows" that "give" a little against, your palm. That is also the Dropper Seat Post Lever - Rider View.

My_ACE_The Final Build. Combined with the wider and less harsh, carbon bars, I am way more comfortable with this setup, though I still cannot manual like I want, and I need to yank harder to keep the front end level as I go off drop-offs, it’s still a lot more trail friendly, compared to stock. The "Oil Slick" anodized Ti bolts, will not rust like the stock steel bolts.

My_ACE_The Final Build. The ZTTO (ZITTO?) Stem and RACE FACE Carbon bars. The bars are 31.8 x 760mm wide. Of course, they are 1/18th Steer tube clamp size. The Stem is a 50mm reach, flat (no rise). These are the same bars (and grips) that I have on my INTENSE 275 back in the USA.

My_ACE_The Final Build. The ZITTO Stem is 50mm Reach, compared to the stock 60mm reach Stem. Though I considered it, I honestly think that a 35mm stem might be too short. I have been caught out being lazy a couple of times on lose/slippery soil, as the front end slipped out slight in turns. Nothing major, as I caught it in time, but I need to consciously keep my weight/force down and through the pedals and bars and my body centered and over the bars a little more.
