1 year with my 256

[final forum]

I've had my 256 for over a year now and would say its been a great bike. Around 3000km on it.

My build which has been modified alot since i build the bike.

Things of note

Full X0-1 groupset - with 30 tooth spiderless chain ring.
Formula R1 brakes
World cup sid xx fork
XMI play wheelset -- NSS IP-M23C
BB30 ip 256 frame
Syntace hiflex seat post.
Thunderburts liteskin tires
Ritchey Pedals

The only complaint i have and would redo is my wheelset, I feel is a bit to narrow. It goes untrue more then i would like.
And the rear brake cable rattle. The next time i want to service my rear brake im going to do the zip tie trick as i feed in the cable leaving the whips on the ties to create a spring.( I have seem the foam trick but just dont like it enough to use it)

This bike with pedals comes in at 18.5 lbs.

Nice update, thanks for sharing your experience with your new bike.

would you buy this frame again? how heavy are you? I'm at about 200lbs and am looking at a carbon frame but do not know if this is the right choice for my size.. mostly flowing singletrack, no real drops.

I'd also be interested to know how much you weigh. Also, if you feel your current rim is too narrow, what width would you go with if you were to do it over again?

Thanks for the long-term update/review.

I weight 150lbs and rims would be around 25mm internal if I could just less hassle..
