Builds like this just don't come along that often. It's not every day we get to build the dream bike of a seasoned mountain biker. When we were asked to build a Jet9 RDO, I was nervous. Back order lists are incredibly long, this one was ordered the first week of December.
Once the frame had been acquired, everything else was easy. The frame received a SID XX World Cup 100mm fork with a 15mm thru axle and Cane Creek headset.
The build kit was simple: full Shimano XT. Every time I ride it I become more and more impressed with the quality of the shifts, but more-so the braking. Best braking I've ever used.
Wheels where another spot where we knew exactly where to go: Stan's NoTubes. The stock Crest wheelset came to use 30g LIGHTER than advertised and perfectly round and true.
Thomson post and silver stand-in stem to be replaced with the correct size (and color) once the fit is dialed. EDGE carbon bars, ESI grips, Maxxis Aspen 2.1 tires set up tubeless.
