    Those wheels are the shit!! I had the DH wheelset and those things were damn near indestructible. And in my opinion, those are absolutely the best hubs on the market. Engagement is stupid fast. Will be putting them on my new trail bile but laced to Stans Flow mk3 hoops

    When my son was that size, I got him a Specialized Hardrock 14". We ride with him on singletrack so we wanted a bike that was lighter weight for his small frame. If you compare the weight of some of those bikes, they can be almost half their body weight.

    Thanks, that is kind of what I was thinking. That bike I linked was 25 lbs. That is crazy heavy.

    Size guides on the Trek site lean toward a 16" bike that has some growing room, but kind of depends on how tall your kid is for his age. They go from 12" to 16". Specialized starts at 16" and is a bit more expensive.

    Doing some research, I'm thinking the 16 would be best and would fit him for a while. at least 2 years then we can upgrade to a 20". I'll take him to the local bike shop and have him test ride one of the 16".

    Damn! That looks like a pretty fun bike! What do you estimate it the total weight as it sits in that pic?

    29lbs. I personally wouldn't want anything lighter.

    Haven't even taken this bike out yet, but my last 3 bikes have all had either XO or XX cranks and have been fine for the most part. I did snap a set of XX cranks but thats the risk you take when running carbon cranks.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm debating between those and Shimano XT's (maybe XTR if it's a good deal)
