So this is what i have decided on.</p> <p>Full FSA K-Force finishing kit.<br /> XTR Groupset<br /> American Classic MTB 26 wheels<br /> Fox F100 RL Forks</p> <p>Its nowhere near done yet, but looking good so far...</p> <p>And, I have tried the R7&#39;s before, alot lighter than the Sids or Fox&#39;s, but something wasn&#39;t quite right. Think you can get alot better for the money.</p> <p>Josh... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-978758 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:24:10 +0000 racing_ralph 978758@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>bruce whats your massive hill? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-978714 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:13:00 +0000 moremudplease 978714@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>xtr groupset,mavic slrs,hope mini pro,s,fox f80,s,and definately go tubeless </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977978 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:40:58 +0000 pinches 977978@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>yeah i&#39;d be looking at SIDs or magura Durins.</p> <p>I&#39;ve just got a set of hope SP-3 wheels with stans 355 rims and hopes &quot;lightweight&quot; 160 and 140 rotors.</p> <p>I&#39;m also using thomson kit with a selle italia SLR saddle, and some ti bolts here and there </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977928 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:30:38 +0000 sohala 977928@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>the new sids are great <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>just one thing... be careful not to drive into an overhead carpark barrier with your bike on the roof <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_eek.gif" title="8O" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> ... cos then, they&#39;re not as great!!</p> <p>doh! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977917 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:25:51 +0000 KINGTUT 977917@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>My new SIDs seem to be rather good, keeping an eye on the lowers just in case they deform like a lot of others have, but so far so good. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977901 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:19:15 +0000 bikerbruce 977901@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>anyone tried the manitou forks...R7s<br /> I would be having mmx podium rims.<br /> any comments on the new sid forks.<br /> thanks<br /> Bruce </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977877 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:10:21 +0000 Dimmadan 977877@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Full XT group set, SID Race forks, and wheels as above.<br /> Carbon bars and seat post, light weight saddle. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977812 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:46:39 +0000 hungry monkey 977812@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>american classics on stans 355s, maxxis crossmarks<br /> XX<br /> some fancy forks - SID or DT swiss&#39; offerings </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/xc-race-bike#post-977805 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:43:17 +0000 bikerbruce 977805@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>a little bored so..<br /> soon my team bike frame will be arriving home its a carbon jobbie and looks the part....my question to you is how would you spec it for xc racing and fast riding in the uk.....lighweight is good considering i live at the bottom of a mahuuusive hill in the peaks.<br /> thanks for relieving my boredham<br /> Bruce. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/what-100mm-travel-forks#post-279781 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 22:27:02 +0000 rob1984p 279781@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Rebas are awesome and as with all the current Rockshox stuff really easy to service.
