Bike Setup:
Stock, upgraded rims to Crank Brothers Cobalts and UST tires. XTR M970 pedals.
Bottom Line:
This bike rocks. It climbs like a mountain goat, descends great, has snappy acceleration, and rolls over obstacles with ease. Ther are lots of suspension settings to setup. I used the videos from Competitive Cycling to help dial in the fork and shock. The settings are right on. Can't wait for my first epic race to see how it performs.
