Heya, beautiful build! So how has the frame coped with the 2.6? Any rub or clearance issues?

Thanks!
Approx 3mm to seatstays, it seems a bit tight but no rub issues at all with Schwalbe Hans Damp or Nobby Nic 2.6 so far.

If I can say in one word, stable.
I used to ride Slackline 26er original for few years, and I felt a bit unstable for my height 6'2''(188cm).
I wanted to ride a bigger tyre bike. Of course I considered 650b hardtails but I thought the difference was subtle, so I choose biggest 29er.
I hope this helps, cheers!

Thanks, that does help! Do you ever find yourself wishing the bike were more 'fun' or 'playful' or would you describe it as having those characteristics?

Overall, are you still enjoying the bike?

I like riding rocky or rooty trails so my Switch9er is the best for me. Some friends say 29er is too big and they prefer 650b for a "fun" or "playful" ride. I also feel my bike is not so nimble sometimes but I love it.

Of course I am still enjoying my bike!

Would love to hear a bit about how she rides? Did you consider the Slackline Ti or Switchback Ti at all, and if so curious to hear how you went with the Switch9er in the end? Trying to work through these decisions now!

Amazing build. I bet it is fantastic to ride.

Quick question. Do the Hope cranks and chainring work well with the XTR M9100 cassette, chain and rear mech? I’m considering the same set up for a bike I’m building. New XTR cranks are not available. I’ve had Hope cranks on a previous bike and really liked them.

Thanks for the nice comment, mate!

The new XTR M9100 works well with the Hope cranks, so far. The shifting is flawless, and you can pedal backwards on the 51T cog as many times as you like.

I heard that some chainrings didn't work with a Shimano's genuine link, eg White Industries' one.

One more thing, a brand-new chainring may not fit CN-M9100 well. My Hope chainring teeth are nice worn ones and have no issues.
