Current Stage Info:
First setup with this bike. Really amped on the disc conversion and the huge tires! Everything works great and have already taken it on some 4+ hour rides. Only gripe so far is that the rear tire only has about 1mm clearance between the chainstays, don't really want to crimp the stays too much more so I think I'll downsize to an ikon 2.35
