Additional Info

Built this bike up last fall as a frame up - first Knolly and loving it. I ride in central and western NC, this bike is a perfect middle-ground for riding in more flat terrain but also ripping Pisgah.

Below are my thoughts on some of the components:

Wheels custom built by CycleWheelsUSA. Went with the Arch instead of the Flow for the smaller ID because I prefer running 2.3s on the trail bike. These weigh in at about 1850g for the set.

Got the new Manitou Mattoc Pro a few months ago and been loving it. I could have gone for the Mezzer but wanted the lower weight on the front end. I weigh about 195 lbs and the small stanchions haven't been an issue.

Had my eye on the Tectonic pedals for a minute and when they dropped their latest artist series I picked up a pair. Hands down my favorite pedals of all time! For comparison, I have recently run Deity T-Macs, Bladerunners, and Chromag Daggas.
