Great bike, would buy again and make the same component swaps..
Pros Amazing trail bike, the suspension works amazing. Handles great with the 650b wheels, turns like a 26 inch, rolls over stuff like a 29er.
Cons The 142x12 rear axle can be tough to keep tight. If it gets loose the rear hub will work it's way loose. I would like to have just a long Allenhead as the axle instead of a quick release type.
Rear hub could use more points of engagement and could stay tight better.
3x10 with a long cage rear d on a trail bike ? I set it up as 1x10 with a wide narrow chainring and a 42t cog, a SLX med cage rear d.
