I think its based on rotor size so if your running a 203mm 203mm post mount. That not an overkill brake for a bike running 150mm travel?

It for my flatmate's bike and yeah, i think its pretty overkill! but to be fair, the brakes were off an old full suss with Monster Ts

Thought I’d give a little update on the Trek Session 8. Having ridden it down one of the steepest tracks in South Wales, done a race and a good day sessioning yesterday I can firmly say it is the best bike I have ridden so far. Feels so effortless compared to my old Glory, Oranges etc. First time I’ve used Boxxers and they feel a hell of a lot better than Fox40's even though they are the base spec model! Weight wise of the bike is not bad at 39lbs bang on, new wheels and some other changes is going to drop this and I’m hoping for around 36lbs. Couple of problems were that the chain device wasn’t properly spaced from the factory, so had to do this myself. The top crown for my direct mount stem isn’t straight so my bars are not straight. Hopefully I’m getting this changed on warranty. So overall an excellent bike, no dents yet *touch wood*.
Just to add, my forks are clunking too. So they are going back next week!

So your feet screw directly into the cranks?
A lot but still less than buying it pre-built.

Using the Eggbeater SL's I have already.

Elite or Masterpiece seatpost?
Getting on for £5k surely? How much is she gonna weigh though?
You better tie it to a tree when you're not riding it then, in case it blows away...
It's looking awesome already, what anchors are you waiting on? Avid carbons by any chance?

Im reckoning on 4-4.5k from a rough add up!
Not sure about alloy nipples though, look nice but not much else!
Yeah that sounds about right actually, I thought the frame was £3k on its own but it's ~£2400.
