Speaking of new shoes, I wanted an Altra Lone Peak with some more cush. Tried on literally everything and the Altra Olympus 4 were the only trail runner that fit in the same way that has more cush and is zero drop. These Vibram Megagrip soles are absolutely superb. Highly recommended.
Na, it all works nicely. Remember that it doesn't rain here so the cantis are actually effective. With that said, I will probably buy V brakes because I intend to tow my new trailer with this bike for a while, until I figure out which ebike/ecargo bike to commit to (I am selling my car tomorrow).
Picked this up for $450. Gon’ function it up 😬 all XT everything. All original other than the MKS Gamma pedals which I had to buy to go with the bike. All made in Japan other than the saddle and grips. Sheeeesh. Stoked.
Not that it matters cause you're sorted now, but my rim brake R460 took all of ten minutes to set up tubeless from scratch. Easiest tubeless set up I have ever encountered....
