Dylan,GF Mt Tam on Ebay at the mo,due on the 5th at 9.30pm. V brakes, but there are a few 29er wheelsets with disc hubs on the `bay as well.
I like my 293 alot,have modded it to suit my needs with 29mm wide Salsa disc rims on Hope Bulbs.Also White Bros BW 1.0 4" travel with 20mm through axel.Brakes are Hope E4`s 185/165.
I ride it mainly enduro with some rock munching thrown in.
Yes it is worth the hassel.Tend to find I ride it more than My DUC equiped Tomac Eli.
I`m 6'2" and the 29er definately `fits` better and certainly rolls better.
Thanks Mike, cash flow chrisis at the moment, so be a month or 2, before I've got the funds, likely sell the Trek 6500 Disk ( modified heavily ) to part fund it aswell.
Doubt the GT Ruckus is worth selling, so keeping that to use the bits to build up a GT I-drive 5 frame, but after the 29er. ( incase the 29er is all I need really )
