Various bike parts

muppetds

I am saving up for a new light fr/heavy XC bike - as a on off treat

This is what i have right now on my list of parts:

Banshee scythe frame - (mystic as they are called in the UK)
Rock Shox Totem RC2 DH Coil Taper Forks 2012
Saint rear deraliuer
Shimano Saint M810 Double & Bash Chainset
Shimano XT M771 10 Speed MTB Cassette
Shimano Saint M820 1x10 Speed Trigger Shifter
Mavic 2013 EX729 Disc MTB Rim * 2
Shimano SLX M665 Top Swing 2x9 Front Mech
Shimano Saint M810 2x9 Speed Trigger Shifter - LH front



Please note I am looking for the most durable parts/tough
This is what i need to find

- wheels - just the hubs now
- disc brakes - got to be reliable and for long braking time - possibly a mechanical on back, hydraulic on front combo?


EDIT: updated parts list
EDIT 2: updated parts list - again

The most durable wheels are going to be very heavy - something like Mavic EX729 rims.

What ratio front rings do you have? Also what type of rear axle?

the front rings are 36/22 teeth
rear axle - well i havent decided yet - something tough

is this what you meant 12mm x 150?

would this derailleur work with the crankset?

Yes, that SLX is the one I would have gone for. And an XT shifter.

Brakes, Saint M810 or M820's or just the Saint front and XT rear.

Can easily fit two fingers on the M810 brakes. They're very nice brakes as well.

I have the lesser M800's (M765 XT's in a different colour) and can put it up on the front wheel with 1 finger, the 4 pot callipers add longevity and consistency (which is why I suggested them based on your stated usage)

hmmm can you fit 2-3 fingers on it?
and is there a XT 2 speed shifter on CRC?
