Moda – thanks for that, its Kwila so it is supposed to be like that.
Wheels are 2year old ZTR hubs on 355’s, i’m quite light and they have taken a beating so we will see how they go. REst of it is all the kit I took off my old TB (10spd Trail XTR mainly) pimp ho. All up weight, dunno, very light though – easily sub 25lbs.
I also found a beautiful big crack on my carbon Tallboy when i started to rebuild it. Right on the top tube in the curve above the shock. About 5cm long. Am talking to SC about whether it is warranty or not. Interesting thing is that it genuinely has never been crashed and has been ridden about 10,000kms but mainly in long adventure races plus general riding. Quite an odd place for it to crack really. Shame as I had sold it !!
