If so, is there anything stopping you from putting a slightly larger chainring on?
I think you're pretty much stuck with the stock one. Otherwise, the spec on a stock bike is amazing, Fox 40s, Hopes, MTX wheels, etc...

Rear shock is 7"-9" of travel...
It rides very smooth, still needs a bit of running in though..
I think he means what are the shock dimensions. Otherwise he would have asked for the rear wheel travel ;) Unless you run a 9" stroke shock. I love those shocks.

unreal.
I'm really curious as to how theses things ride. Do you reckon you can feel any difference in the suspension or the way the rear wheel tracks with the mass moved to the centre of the bike?

Very nice, my only concern is the grip-shift. When I used to have a grip-shift, whenever I jumped I'd shift because of my hand movement. But I spose that could be easily fixed by changing it to a Alivio 8spd shifter aye?

Any-who, extremly nice bike, and if you dont mind me asking how much did it set you back?

Cheers lads,
Cam
