    only rhing i don;t like on these frames is position of the shock because it will get totally caked in mud!

    but that will be a nice build looking forward to some pics

    thats the only draw back but its a small price to pay for the way they ride,

    commencal are bring out a mudguard but an old innertube will do the same job but do like the look of the new marsh guard the greg minnar has been using

    good choice!

    let me know how you get on with a rear mud guard...I'm still deciding on what to use for mine.

    its a truvative X-guide..only get this one if you have a truvative or sram chainset as they are made for their chain line only..it will still work but not ideal.

    if you have any other chain set..use the MRP 2x chain guide. this has a slightly thinner plate to allow for chain alignment.

    try swinnerton cycles for stock, I couldn't find mine in stock anywhere so I used swinnerton for the first time...good store and good prices.

    looking great! been bedding in my meta sx for the last few months now. couldnt be happier with it except for (and i dont know if its the same for you on the AM...) the infernal cable rattling.... sounds like the bike is about to fall to bits on some rides!

    that looks like a sweet ride!
