So fired up to drop the first bike review of 2020! There were a few reasons I decided to go with the @CyclesDevinci Troy as bike 1. The first is that it's just a REALLY good looking bike and I'm into that sort of thing. Second, the local dealer is a rad dude! Drew Kolb of Revolution Mobile Bike Repair is who I purchased the bike through and it's been rad having him there for support down the road. Also, I failed to mention in this video that Drew tossed a FULL Ride Wrap kit on this thing. I'll drop a link down below.
I decided to go large on this one and I think it was the right choice. It's certainly a long bike, but I've subsequently dropped down to a 40mm stem and flipped the chip into the up position. This shortens it up a bit and gets the head tube angle to 66.5. NOTE I'm really good with this HA number. Anything slacker than 66 and it feels a bit funny to me. I actually ran an angled cup in my Firebird to pull 3/4 of a degree out and steepen it up. Not everyone feels this way, that's cool.
It's the X01 LTD build. This means it has an X01 rear derailleur and GX everything else. This isn't a bad thing by any means, but I did notice some funny cassette engagement periodically. It was remedied by switching to an X01 cassette.
Code brakes are LEGIT! Enough said.
Rock Shox suspension components are also LEGIT!! Great feel right out of the box.
Settings: BW 185

I'm REALLY digging this bike so far! I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It feels incredibly capable and ate up Spider Mountain. However, it's also been killer on 30+ mile XC type rides here in Bentonville.
At this point, I have nothing but good things to say about this bike. In addition to shortening the stem, I'm gonna throw a custom built set of wheels with Cushcore on and that might just be it.
Shoot me any questions you might have about this bike and I'm happy to answer them!
