There is Stolen bikes group on Farcebook that might be worth looking into. Hope the bike will be returned to you.

Ordered the shock for my new frame.. 15% off at Pushy's. The Prime will be feeling pimp!

@the drizzle, be sure to get some rim protection set up. You don't want to find out the hard way what the rims impact limit is..

Ahh. Website still won't let you purchase direct
Not sure why I didn't think to email them. Well I'm going to find out if Carbonfan is any good
Mine have been great.. Haven’t hucked flat into rocks yet though.. Already scrapped the sides on the rear 2.25..

Dropped my stem 25mm, seems to have quickened up the steering (makes sense)
Currently running a 70mm stem with 6degree rise, think I'll go for 0 degree rise, can't go shorter on the stem

now I've changed it to a 50mm 0 degree rise stem and the stem as low as it can go
the bike feels nimble now, like my old 26er super light, reckon i'll give this a whirl, see if I can live with it

One of a couple of modifications today:
Wolf Tooth GC49 and Wolf Cage kit. Converts a Shimano XT 11-46 casette in to an 11-49.
Also installed a Wolf Tooth dropper remote and fresh cable & sheath which allowed me to bring the dropper up a little in the seat tube (and gain a much lighter actuation of the dropper), and swapped the cranks out to a non-"Boost" crankset as apparently it's what these "Boost" rear-wheeled 5010's are meant to run.
Oh, and swapped out the BB while I was in there as the original one I put in seemed to have shitty bearings in it and never spun well.
Got to say I'm a big fan of the Wolf Tooth bits. They fit and operate just like (or better than!) the factory-made stuff. And I got lucky, I didn't even need a longer chain - aired the rear shock out to check and all happy days!

Tell me more....and swapped the cranks out to a non-"Boost" crankset as apparently it's what these "Boost" rear-wheeled 5010's are meant to run.
My mate's Bronson now runs Hope Boost cranks that I installed. And I though the chainline looked a bit whack.
