As the title suggest I have both the a Yari RC that came on my new GT Sanction (2019) and an Xfusion Vengeance as a spare in the shed. What fork would you run on the bike considering I will probably sell what I don't use? Other factors are:
-the rear shock is a Fox vanilla rc coil, is it better to have coil front and rear? ie favour the vengeance.
-the vengeance is 20mm axle, the yari is 15x110. So I would need to track down a 27.5 x 20mm if I decide to use the vengeance ( I only have a 20mm wheel in 26 inch)
-would you consider running the bike with 26 inch wheels? I would then have the correct front wheel but need a 142x 12 26 inch wheel for the back.
-the bike came with Sram guide brakes but I am also considering swapping them out for an older set of codes I have in the shed or possibly some shimano deore, what would you use?
-it has a sram GX 10 speed drive train, every other bike I have is shimano and I must admit I am a shimano fan, should I just put shimano on it or run the gx with shimano cassette and chain?
As always feedback from the Rotor Burn brains trust is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
