So I have decided to build up a 2013 Spearfish 1 frame. It will be used as intended, for long XC rides. Looking for reasonably light parts that offer a good value. In other words, closeouts, sales, last year's model, etc. I'm aiming for a 25lb 10spd SLX-XT level build. looking for both deals and advice....especially on the wheels and fork. I am comfortable working on bikes but have never built up a MTB before. I have some bits but kinda dunno what to buy for the rest. Any advice appreciated!
Already have:
frame (on the way)
bars
stem
shifters (SLX)
cassette (XT)
brakes (XT)
For wheelset, I want to go tubeless, pretty light and under $500. Thinking Sun Ringle Charger Pros from PP for $450. Thoughts?
And for fork, how about the Marzocchi Corsa Carbon from Jenson for $400? Is it a good one? I can't find much for reviews.
Any tips/deals on other parts appreciated too.....
