I think the Shimano discbrakes has a really nice feel and is working good. With my kind of riding maybe the bigger disc would be a good thing tough.
Cons:
My bikecolour is dogshitbrown(!), but I'm getting used to it. The racefacecranks is beginning to get a little bit squeeky

I have raced downhill for som time but I have never owned a hardtail this hardcore. I have upgraded to a doublecrowned fork(RS XLC) to make it more agressive and it was well wort it I think. I have also put a MRP-type of chainguide on the bike.(who need gears?) I have used it for alot of dirtjumping and I'm very pleased with it's performance. The best hardtail I've owned before is a GT Zaskar, but i'm much more excited with this one.
