Knolly Warden 160 *shiny* 4
Loved the hayes dominions on my hardtail, and the purple was clearly destined for this rig.
liking these pedals, loved the size of my oneups but not really the convex shape and unnecessary thinness/bearing bulge, these have a good concave shape and aren't trying to be slim.
technically a 29er fork, but mullet is overrated and I'll take the extra a2c to make up for the shorter travel (stock for the frame is 170, currently running 160)

Rear Shock

60mm stroke for shorter travel. With how unreliable this generation of X2 has been, I'm hoping the coil alternative will last, but if it blows up maybe I'll get a fast fenix to match the color scheme or something.

I had a -2° works angleset, but found I'd been a bit overzealous in my planning and it turned like a boat, might still try a 1° in the future.

Additional Info
Loved my banshee spitfire but just really wanted to be able to run a longer dropper (and also it was a good excuse to try something new this season) and decided to see what I could find to fit the geo I wanted, plus since I've got my Chromag built up now it makes sense for the full sus in the quiver to be a bit bigger travel. Always wanted an intend fork so when they announced they were doing color ano again (and I'd conveniently just sold a super monster so my pockets were a bit heavy) I decided to just get one and not look at my bank account for a while. Pretty much everything else is just what I already know works, with a few splashes of bling throughout. Unfortunately my riding is going to have to live up to this bike's presence now, I'm ready to get hurt I guess.
