Very clean build - well done! What's the secret to getting the Maxxis logos off the sidewalls??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! You're not going to believe it, but I used a dry towel to rub them off with the friction it generates.

Looks like a 29 er if you zoom into the tire logo..
Why is the shock upside down though?

Yes, 29er. I flipped the shock because I always leave it in open mode and thought it looked cool! No real reason!

Clearance is a bit tight on the drive-side chainstay with 2.6 29 and 32mm ID rims, but no rubbing. Everywhere else, clearance is excellent.

Very good looking Trek. The monochromatic color scheme and minimal look is very sharp. I love the clean decal-less wheels and fat tires without the bright Maxis logo (funny enough, I also scraped off the logo on my minions).
