Chinese Carbon MTB > 29+ & 27+
Ordered a CS 496...
cwareham:
Bike is together and fully shaken out. CS496 frame, Peter's 40mm rims with DTS350 hubs. Went with Renthal Fatbar Lite, Fox 34 140mm 27plus fork, Fox transfer dropper, XT brakes and drivetrain. Bike weighs 24 lbs on the nose sans pedals. That's with 29x3" (VeeTrax Fatties) tires, each weighing ~1.7 lbs. Been through the local trails, and flogged it at the Deer Valley lift-served trails on Sunday. That wasn't just big flowy stuff, it was also some of the burliest, technical, rocky, rooty descents I've ever done.
Bike is performing *flawlessly* so far. I would absolutely do this again, and would go straight back to Peter. Can't recommend it enough.

Hey There - Awesome build. I'm new and have a couple questions. I sent a note off to Peter and am hoping to replicate your setup, to a degree, mainly with different suspension (if possible).
Questions:
* What race face chainring did you get to work with the XT crank? I can only find Shimano compatible.
* Do you think the manitou mattoc fork would work with this setup? https://www.manitoumtb.com/products/forks/mattoc/

Cool. I'll check Garbaruk out and let you know. If their shipping isnt too much to get to US, I'll probably go that route.

I was all set to go.. Had my lists all set to purchase and I found out this bike isnt available right now in a 19".
What now!? Ha. I had my heart set on a + bike.
