or in this case, a hill or two.

First impressions are..wow...

Amazing direct feel to it, like all the pedal power is being turned into traction, wants to go fast! Handling is superb, again very direct and lively.

The steel does a great job of smoothing out the trials (to an extent!)

Is that a standard build or did you go frame/rolling chassis only and build up?

Asking as my B+ build is due to ship next week.... 😀

What travel forks is that? Looks bigger than 120 (might just be the photo mind).

Built it from the frame up, spec is;

Reba 120mm
Mavic Crossmax XL wheels + Nobby Nics
XT and Easton bits and pieces

I'm running a 34 tooth oval chain ring and One Up Shark 50t sprocket both of which work really well with this set up...

Cheers, going Reba 120s myself... with a negotiated 2x11 SLX build on scraper/hope wheels. Also gone for the green.

Just counting down the days now!

See if you can get some 120mm Pikes, much stiffer than 32mm rebas...

Other than that... :thumbs up:
