Awesome bike. Two questions - how is that fork? I've been looking to upgrading to it on my Trance 29er but I can't find any reviews (that's the 140-110 travel one?). Also, did you measure the head angle or just calculate it?

Any issues with the single ring up front? I'm interested in doing that myself.

As long as you have either an upper guide or clutch derailleur you should be fine. I like the guide, either way. Keeps the chain from rolling off the top.

brilliant set-up. convinced me to go with the hobgob frame, and put the savings into fork/components. again, brilliant, just awesome.

I'm digging the fork, its quite tunable and pretty plush. Its laterally stiff, but there is a little play with the bushings, nothing bad but thought I'd mention it. I think the newer models have updated bushings.

Eats small/medium bumps very good. It will bottom out on the big hits (drops over 4ft with harsh - not flat bottom - landings) but I don't take it there that often, and I could probably tune it to take that too. Took a bit to get it set up - was sticky at first, but adjusting air pressure did the trick.

Travel on mine is set at 140.

Head angle was measured by anglefinder apps on my iphone. I used two different apps to be sure I was getting a somewhat accurate reading. They claim to be accurate to +/- one degree. I measured the head angle "unsagged" - that is with no rider on the bike.

Thanks so much, it's a great trail bike - even though it's really aimed at the XC crown. Be sure to post yours when it's built. Cheers!
