Also, they are not bombproof, and when you have one one and chain suck manages to occur, it is 1000 times worse. I removed my for this last season and had pretty good luck. Totally new drivetrain probably helped a bit, too. But it is still there, damn it. Light frame, decent mix of Shimano and brand name components such as Marzocchi and Avid.
Tires are good too but a bit aggressive for city trail riding.
Shock should be a Z3 light or long travel. Brakes are a bit weak but effective with a lot of pull. Z4 fr, avid brakes. Hopefully it continues to perform as well as it currently is. I think adventually if I have any money to spend on it, I'll change my stem and bar.
