You have a SICK build going on here! Nice work and we're definitely on the same page with shimano vs. sram!

[@DesFit]

Thanks man!

Nice bike. I'm currently looking to replace my custom built '06 Giant Trance with an '18 Canyon Spectral 8.0. I was a little concerned with SRAM components, but like you, I think I am more confident in SRAM now than the past. EDIT: And as always, perfect reviews for people with A.D.D. Like I think I have. ;)

Thanks! Hope you enjoy our new whip!

I used a 29x2.35 Ignitor up front on my XC bike.

2.6 rear Cool!

[@DesFit]

Right? I was surprised!

[@gabrielirizarry101]

Nice build...! Did you ever review with tire and seat post changes..? Curious about that outcome...

[@DesFit]

Not quite yet...but soon!

Des, I'm going to have my RKT built by Brave New Wheel on Friday. Is it best to install a dropper when the bike is built or can it just as easily be dealt with later? I'm not sure how to handle all this. In a way I would like to just get the bike and ride . . . worry about the dropper later. Impatient? Yes. --Paul H.

[@DesFit]

Would be easiest to do it all at once, but it’s not a big deal to do it after the fact which is what I am doing. Congrats, Paul! Welcome to the club!
