I realized i haven't updated since this post.

The change to size 2 is awesome,  i also reduced fork travel from 180 to 160mm. Steepening up the head angle at the same time.

I also threw on a set of five dev 155 cranks.


Huge difference,  totally love this set up now, totally different and more playfull bike.

Nice, I've gone the opposite way, going up in frame size, and way happier.  Whatever works. I still can't fathom 155s though, that's crazy!

My next project.

Trek full stache frame.
I had a Krampus 29+ that I used to love, but then got into Enduro/DH and sold it to fund a race bike. In that time 27.5/+ came and went and while I never liked 27+, I always felt 29+ had some potential for certain things.

Price was right,  XL, I have to try it. Should be a beast uphill if nothing else.
