7/7/2022 1:45pm
Forbidden Dreadnought - Nerds
Chris Arruda's Dreadsled
Shock: Push ElevenSix
Bars: OneUp Components Carbon – 35mm Rise
Stem: OneUp Components – 35 mm
Fork: Fox 38 – 170mm
Rims: TR41
While I run TR37′s on my light trail bike, I opted for TR41’s on this build for a wider tire profile and chose D-Light spokes on both ends to keep comfortable through the rough stuff.
Pedals: Shimano Saint
Crankset: Raceface Aeffect 32T
Rear Derailleur: SRAM AXS GX Cassette: Shimano XT
Brakes: Magura MT7
Saddle: SDG Bel Air
Post: OneUp – 240mm drop
Grips: Chromag Contact
Shifters: SRAM AXS GX
Hubs: Chris King
In terms of hubs, Chris King still set the standard for performance and reliability so those were a no-brainer. Specs are centerlock, boost, and 32h.

Additional Info
After getting along famously with the Dreadnought’s shorter travel brother the Druid last season, I decided on a two bike approach this year. I sold both my Druid and old downhill rig to build up this beastly Dreadsled for days when I’m itching to get steep and sendy.
Wheelset
My aim with these hoops was to create a no-fuss wheelset for aggressive all mountain riding comprised of components I would never have to worry about when out on the trail. While I run TR37′s on my light trail bike, I opted for TR41’s on this build for a wider tire profile and chose D-Light spokes on both ends to keep comfortable through the rough stuff. In terms of hubs, Chris King still set the standard for performance and reliability so those were a no-brainer. Specs are centerlock, boost, and 32h.
