Ditto on what Alex said. Tire volume and tread selection makes a bigger difference on a HT when you don’t have suspension. Add a 32T oval chainring and you’ll be able to climb everything!

I'd probably add a dropper & change the front xc tire to something a bit more grip for where you ride. Then I'd add a second wider wheelset with berd spokes for the winter, mud & slop rides.

It really doesn’t need any upgrades. But- little things like grips, bar setup, lever placement, fork setup... those are always the coolest to mess with on MTBs imo. Or really any type of bike, but XCMTB in particular.

For as much climbing as you do an oval chainring could make a big difference. If you’ve never tried one it would be worth a try. On my 1x12 Eagle I notice I have 1-3 extra gears for climbing compared to a round on some of the steeper climbs.

sweet as. build is spot on. if u want smaller gears u can swap your chainring to a 32. you will be able to climb 20% grades with that gearing. btw sram makes a 10-52 cassette too. you can do either or both. i would run chunkier tires - maxxis ardent maybe. for those wet and loamy conditions. 2.25. and yeah a dropper post would be cush. but it's optional imho. adds weight. nice to have but not really necessary. have fun mate.

@@EverythingsBeenDone great video.

Yes a little slower on the flats but thats a great time to enjoy the scenery.
