my plan decided (sort of)

jay12

this is the list of parts for my MTB it is not the final plan as i will build the bike over about 14 months so parts are likely to change. comments and opinions are welcome. one thing is that i'm not sure if i should spend so much on the fork. if you know of a very good fork that is adjutable and has travel of 130mm or 140mm maximum please tell me.http://www.flickr.com/photos/jayapanaspics/3800871329/ <- list

if you are getting an slx chainset you wont need the bb so spend that money on upgrding the cassette to xt, the weight saving is well worth the money.

be aware if you get a cabon post it will end up scratched to death when you arise and lower your post so will look orrible very quickly.

what frame are you having?

Enduro 07

I would spend a bit more on the wheelset if you can, as I will never go back to Shimano hubs with cup and cone bearings as replacing a knackered sealed cartridge bearing is alot easier and they require less maintenance.

You should be able to pick up a pair of Hope hoops for around £200

Here's a good fork that is less expencive than the Revelation and performs equally good.
Rock Shox Recon 351 Coil U-Turn 85-130mm
Worth considering.

+1 for the recon - just got one and got my first ride on it - seems very plush straight from the box. Got mine for 219 at CRC but it seems not to be on their lists any more.
