Not sure if I have shown my new LCFS958. Sold the old one, size L and built a new in size XL. (im 183 cm) The goal was to get even more reach. I loved my old bike and the new one is also great.
Good to hear, I spent quite awhile trying to determine which tool would work best for my set up. I also got the Granite chain break, hoping they fit in my carbon bars OK and the frame carrier strap for tube, levers and C02. Did you get the chain break tool as well and if so any how's the fit in your handlebars?
A compression headset came with the frame, however I installed my old headset (with a few cheap carbon spacers I got off Amazon) since I'm using my old fork that has a starnut. This is going to change, I've just purchased the Granite Stash multi-tool that will go in the steerer tube. I looked at OneUp but the only version I that would work is the original EDC tool that requires the steerer tube to be threaded.
I believe the 1001 is in the $700 range and the 1002 about $900.
Yes, those are Wolfpack Enduro 2.6s! Definitely not the fastest rolling tread pattern or toughest casing but surprisingly good for ~$55. They handle really well in aggressive riding and are relatively light.
I decided to try them out with this build to help keep the initial cost down and because I’d heard good things…performance so far is very close to the $90 tires I’m used to, and definitely lighter. If the 2.6 version of their Trail tire (mentioned in a few review articles) was available I’d probably be running those for the rest of the season but alas in a few weeks I’ll probably have to put some lower-profile tread Schwalbe or Maxxis on to cut back the rolling resistance.
The Enduro is kind of halfway between a Hans Dampf and a Magic Mary in terms of rolling resistance so somewhat overkill for most trails once mud season is over.
