Question is, I can't seem to find the travel?

Also, which out of the two options would you go for? I was thinking the SRAM X9, Sektors and avid brakes?

Cheers

    Yep that's the one I'd go for. 2x10, X9, Sektors & Avids.

    You need to find out exactly with fork it is as there are a few different versions of the Sektor R - Coil U-Turn, Solo-Air etc

    Yes that's what I seem to be getting confused with. I'll give them a bell now.

    Personally I'd have Shimano brakes, Tried XX compared to XT recently and the XX feel no different to the J5's I'm in the process of replacing with older XT's on mine.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    That's kind of irrelevant when the two choices are Hayes or Avid!

    Depends if you take the frame only option or not......

    The link was to a LBS near me, I think they stock the bike, no option for frame only.
