I have a 130 Revelation and a 120 Reba non-boost and a 130 Boost Fox fit4 34 Elite (worth changing your front hub to boost for). One has to go - not sure which one.
IMO the Helion 29er is a better ride than in 27.5 configuration.
GT's specifications show that they used the same frame for both their 27.5 and 29er Helions - they just fitted a 100mm 29er fork and 29er wheelset to change.
My bike is different in that I am using a 110mm fork and a frame with...
Hi,
Interested in your Sensor frame.
What BB does it take ? - threaded or PF ?
What Fox Float CTD model is it ?
Where did frame come from - did not know you could buy frame only in Australia ?
Cheers,

Nice Helion - they area great ride - I have a Sensor, but often feel a Helion may have suited my riding more.
Not saying you should do it, but I did see on an mtb forum, where someone had converted their Helion to a 29er with reasonable results.
I would highly recommend running a full length...
I have the alloy 2015 Sensor with 130mm travel Revelation the same as yours - can change travel to 140mm by changing the airshaft, which I will do soon.
Running 1x10 with an Absoluteblack Oval 34T chainring and 11 - 40 cassette out back.
Currently have rocket rons front and racing ralphs back, but think I will run the conti x kings front and back that the bike came with originally and also run tubeless for the first time.
Thanks again for everyones opinion/advice.
Cheers
Thanks for all replies - a wealth of information - in the end I'll have to work out myself whats best for my riding and the conditions - ie: recent rain will obviously change criteria for tyres on the day.
cheers.
