5010 so far is the best bike I’ve ever had. Awesome. Don’t be fooled by the travel. “Fun trail” stuff rarely needs anywhere near 150+, and frankly the 130 I don’t notice is lacking at all (I’m not heavy though and I don’t slam landings on big drops, or hit big drops at all really). You can likely run the front to 140, at a push 150. I’ve not seen a need to though.
It’s very easy to pedal, insanely light (mine is CC model plus has carbon wheels), and very agile and fast. Got an old 170/160 Nomad and while it’s like a sofa hammering down big rough stuff at speed, the 5010 still feels fairly plush on the same stuff and I really don’t do anything outside of a BPW trip that gets the most out of big travel. The 5010 however is way easier to ride and much faster.
Bronson is another option, though I’m not much of a fan of that. I would however consider a Hightower in plus wheels, but still relatively new so no cheap deals about.
5010 comes with Avid brakes so will no doubt need bleeding some time soon!!
The specific 5010 you’re looking at? Normally they’d come with SRAM Guide brakes. Yes SRAM is Avid, but the rebrand is deserved as Guide brakes are a million miles away from old Avid brakes. You won’t be bleeding them, and you will think they’re awesome. Unless they really are old Avids (unlikely).
BB on 5010 will be non creaking proper threaded, as with all Santa Cruz.
