Ideally id have gone 1x11 and stealth dropper but the foxes are rated better than pikes for 2016 plus got an awesome deal on them. Insurance not paid me out yet so went for a build option and turned out nice.

Looking good expect for the stem length and height but if that's how it's comfy not much you can do and I know the top tube and reach is a bit on the short side. I expect youve got a bit of weight in those wheels but if they are strong and you are riding rowdy stuff then it's a false economy to go too light. 1 X 10 will knock an half pound of at least though.
I got mine to 13.4kg 29.5lb before I dismantled it. Exact same weight as the scout, the scout had heavier wheels and tryes on though at the weigh in.

stem is a 60 but going to swap for a 50 when i can source a nukey warhead cheap enough. bars are flat bars and ok but first time ive used them and not to sure yet. probs change but we will see. 1x10 is next option i reckon as ill lose a ring, shifter and front mech and mount.
rear wheel is a tr and front am so a tad heavy but only paid £140 posted so a bit of a bargain . could go lighter but they going to take some grief.

slik graphics on the fox decals. ordered a 40mm stem and fitting a set of black nukey warhead riser bars. also bottle cage a must as with being tubeless i try not to ride with a rucksack with pumps and tools so bottle on the bike saves a lot of clutter. its my only xc addition lol. also ordered a set of 3x10 carbon headset spacers to tie it all in rather than missmatched. had them in the spares box but will now swap.
i looked at a set of renthal fatbar lite but only 30g lighter than the nukey bars and i got the nukeys new for £15 posted so bargain.

gotta say routed the rear brake through the shock mount and under the top tube and makes a massive difference asthetically. brakes are aqwesome and stop on a dime. great xt brakes.

Me and mates were riding a week in Scotland and decided to eat somewhere posh when covered in mud and trail shirt. My bud ordered the steak which turned up on a bed of salad. He looked at it and as straight faced as hell asked the girl loudly where my fucking chips.
Me and Mick pissed our selves laughing. Paul still wasn't impressed and we got some filthy looks of the posh twats Hence wermychips. Brings back happy memories
