I've made a few changes to the SAB after a few rides. The ATAC stem was too long and low and was making my back ache after a long ride and was a little scary on the steeper downhill bits so it's been replaced with a shorter Syncros item. Its now much better on the old back and much much better on the downhill stuff. tyres have been swapped as I needed the amberwalls for the Pace and the Porcs are much better over the wet roots and the mud. Bars have been swapped- Kolo Ti replacing the Syncros risers, and a few detail bits and bobs- Hope QRs and a nicer Flite.
Really enjoying this bike- it's like a Yo but does everything slightly better.
Weight is now 23.5lbs which ain't bad for full suss
