I got an adapter for XT brakes / sram xx1 shifter from Trickstuff.com
Works well, will get some pics up soon.
I've heard the problem solvers doesn't put the combo in a great position
Post your 29er!

So Close
Howdy,
my 29er is so close to being finished, just waiting on the spokes. I am sure it's going to be rad. In the mean time all I can do is post about it. Ended up having to hurry the build along due to cracking the frame on my Zaskar. Hopefully in 32 hours or so it will be rolling.

I've got the problem solver on the LTc and it does stick out a lot, these seem a lot more refined.

This is my new beast. 2012 Carve Pro. Upgraded from a 26" 06 Specialised FSR XC.
Picked it up second hand from someone who had ridden it about 10 times for an absolute bargain
All stock apart from the an e-13 bash guard in place of big ring and Thompson stem. Two rides in and 29rs rock!:heh:

NOS Gt Xizang 29er
Finally done. Was supposed to be sorted a couple of days ago but a courier delay held us up. So pleased with it, need to get some more pics but her maiden voyage was last night along the Yarra Trails and it is just awesome. Came in at 10.7 kg with dropper and pedals. Better pics t come.

I'm happy with the bar mounts and thanks for the heads up on torque settings. I know what you are on about, I've been running carbon components for a few years and I keep an eye on that as well.
I like having the shifter & brake Independant as I can fine tune them

For mine these are thetypes of bikes that are the ultimate "one bike" option. Won't make you want to kill yourself on a 100km epic day ride and more than capable of putting in a decent time on a 3min downhill run

agree with you mate
common elements to most of these bikes
short chain stays
slacker HA
10 to 20mm more travel up front than rear
longer reach- front centre
longer ETT so as to run short stem / wide bars and inline dropper

GT Xizang done and dusted.
Finally got around to taking some proper pics of the GT, done 90kms on it now and it's super fun. Very quick steering and climbs like nothing else I have ridden. The Light Bicycle Carbon rims feel very nice, will be interesting to see how they hold up over time. Build was done by Paul at Astroboyracer.
Gallery is up on Flickr via the link below.

Looks great mate. I see you went the twist grip option. Any reasons for this? How do you like it? Do you think it gives smoother changes? I thought about these, because it would give you the option to change from 1 to 10 in one smooth motion.

Thanks, yeah I went for it as a bit of an experiment as I had a go on some one elses and loved it. Also like the way it cleans up the cockpit. Really crisp changes and I find it easier to go up and down a bunch of gears at the same time. Saves a bit of weight as well. Don't think I would go back to trigger now. I am not sure why more people are not running twist grips.
