I just wanted some advice on a new bike I was going to build. Already have some of the parts, and was looking for advice on the rest of the parts. I really didn't want to go above XT level, also I do not like the dual control levers. If you think I should replace some parts on the current bike let me know. I was hoping for a very durable bike.
