I have a 32-18 gearing and it is phenomenal. Those are borrowed tires, ritchey zed's, but they have been pretty amazing too. Great in the hardpack and don't hold mud at all it seems. My brakes are still braking in, but I already know they are amazing, I got crazy lucky with my chainline, though that woodman rear hub is adjustable. It has like a 1" cassette and comes with three spacers and a 14t and a 16t cog. The 18t DX I ordered looks and fits just like the ones they provided. The hubs are heavy though, I was surprised, but the engagement is to die for. There is pretty much zero play in the freehub body. The rear hub came smoother than butter, but the front came a bit notchy. The front atleast has joytech bearings, and have since smoothed out. The salsa delgado's are handlying the dirt just as everyone says they do, great. Oh and that's the midnight silver color. Pretty purple if you ask me, but it grew on me and now I think it's 100% BA. Ok, so here are some pictures...
nice bike! how does it sound through the amplifier?
