+ 1 for a cane creek - I would probably go for a 40 series on that frame.

Having ridden the butcher i would follow sheeps advice, it' doesnt need the funny playing around at the front, enjoy the super solidness of the FSA headset, and forget to muhc regular servicing.

How do you like your SC Butcher? How does it climb?

Just ordered the Cane 110 Fit Taper also...

good choice....

i love the butcher it climbs fine i got my butcher to replce my heckler which i sold at the end of 2010..
i had set my heart on a ibis mojo hd but a sudden change in my circumstances (redundancy) ment i could not justify the cost of one.
so i got the butcher instead.. my butcher is set up for big terrain ie whistler fox 36 talas rc2 a elka stage 5 coil shock am running it with a 2x10...
it truly is alround bike.. we did a float plane trip into the chilcotins (bc) last year and the butcher was in it's element there the single track was fantastic...
even used it in the bikepark..
i dont have any pics to hand but i do have some vid fottage of the bike if you click on my sig at the bottom...

Great sounds lovely. The reason I asked is because I've started a tread asking for advice and generally they are not very keen on the Santa Cruz but in Favour of Giant Reign X so my mind has been swayed a bit.

Thank you for the feedback.
