Cool deal! I didnt know that a low band front der. would work on the 575, unless its a high band and it looks different in the box. Are those tires tubless?

The new XTR works with any configuration except E-type, I think.

Nice stuff there jackson

Holy Moly that XTR derailleur looks really sci-fi-ish!

It's sexy!

So far... these parts are about the least exciting parts in the entire build, and I'm already grinning ear to ear.

Talas R - cheaper and about the same weight. I went with the fox thinking it might be better suited on a trail bike.

Of all the reading I did and all the research on parts, I think Fox forks were the only thing I didn't read a single bad thing about. It's hard to ignore that.

Did you ever find the Hope brakes that you wanted? If not Im selling my brand new Mono Mini with a 180mm rotor. I need a 74mm post mount brake, I went with a Manitou

I think you went with Hope XC hubs, I have just seen two broken rear axcles. To be fair they were both on Bullits, ridden hard, not there fault though the bike shop spec'd them that way. Im just amazed though to see two of them split in half.

I ended up going with Onyx hubs.
