Hi Guys, been lurking for a while, can't remember my old log on stuff, so re registered, but a lot of good info here!
My questions are about a 575 I am ordering shortly. I am getting the 575 in the Enduro model. I am perttty happy with the build kit, but any thoughts about what to upgrade at the LBS? I have a 11-34 cassette on my current bike - a Canondale sv1000 with a Man. Black 130 mm fork and Dave's speeddream wheels, and really like it. Any body use the 11-34? how bout X0 rear derailler ?..is it too fragile?
Is the DRX shock worth upgrading to, or necessary? I am 6'1'', 250 with Trans-Alp/gear etc, and ride single track, and ski resorts (live in Denver) in summer.....green/blue trails, nothing hairy - I am 59 - yeah you read it right, and been riding since 1999.
Also pedals: Have used Shimano 545s always, love em, never problems, probably saved my ass a bunch of times, but are the 647s any better with the 959 guts?
Any advice from you Yeti guys would be appreciated - glad to join the tribe!
