Sunspot……..Sweet lookin’ machine! Whatcha’ ridin?

BTW, my main concern is Pedal Kickback and it’s affect on canceling the suspension to some degree – not on the tech downhills-just switch into a higher gear, although I’d prefer not to have to think about that as the trails I ride are in areas with a constant undulating tech terrain. Every 100 yards or so the terrain changes from flats to uphills and downhills.

While I don’t want to experience this (Pedal Kickback) on the tech flats, I certainly don’t want to experience it on the gnarly tech descents.

I’ve read that you’re more likely to experience Pedal kickback with high P.O.E. hubs.

What has your experience been on the Onyx? I’ve narrowed it down to either the Onyx Vespar or the DT Swiss 240 EXP (36t or 54t).
