    Nice upgrade.

    Might I suggest a great waterbottle? I have one on my 29er and love the ease of the jet valve (that way I dont gotta go mouth to Dirt when I hit the trails) and the insulation rocks.

      gotcha beat. We got 2 of them and they ARE great bottles. I like the jet valve.

        Having a real fit done on the last bike I built definitely made a difference to me. I couldn't imagine riding 100Ks and centuries on a bike that I was not completely comfortable on.
        Yea they definitely didn't do all that... I'll look into it at some point when I have the spare $ to throw at it + whatever they say I need to make the fit correct. I don't even have cleats yet. But right now we are riding ~8 miles per ride, so once we start getting up around 15 - 20 I'll start spending a little more $ to do it right.

          Two vertical thumbs for you. Now hurry up and break something on your trek so you can upgrade components.

                I can't either much short of tweaking a rear wheel. I let the professionals do that. If you keep knocking a wheel out of true time for a stronger set of wheels.
