Hmmm that'd be interesting... not sure how it'd cope with my local Rivingon Mud but might be alright on the lakeland rock.

X-kings look to only be 2.2 so the might be off the list. I'll do a bit of experimenting!. Jsut gotta wait for the rims to rock up now then pretty much as per Op's dream spec. Albeit on the Spider Comp. Which to be honest seems to fit my riding really rather well.

Had a good second ride in the Lakes yesterday, the bike is sooo capable. The Carbine no doubt would kill me on the downs!!.

Ok i know i must be doing heads in now but i'm on holiday with time on my hands....i'm simply using this time to build this bike in my head....so here we go...American Classic MTB race 29 wheelset weighs 1459g..... my LBS can supply em and they don't have to be built.....I know a few of our crew have them and love em....they're not massive but wider than SLR's and surely capable of taking the Toros at 2.35

Any experience of these hoops ( tin hat is on)

Black is the only acceptable colour for cables and hoses.

Now repeat x 100

I will never colour co-ordinate hoses and cables.

Oops, I think you're right there M ..black it is then.....on the spec front took a load of yours and others advice 1 x 11 + RF Next SL etc but I opted for taking this bike to a light XC fit out that will be aggressive enough for this old fart when needed cos that's what I/We do here.......ha! HD/XC the new "Mini Enduro" so AC race 29 wheels with Spesh control front and captain back (wheels are 1450g so good weight)

I'll post exact spec when ordered

Cheers
