[XC, ~AM] My '11 Trance X2

[mrx78u]

This was my first dually. I bought it new in 2011 and I still love this bike, used for daily trail riding, Marathons and Gravity Enduro with the same setup. When I bought this all my mates were on XC race bikes and I wanted something which could take a little more punishment. It's had a few upgrades which have been a good improvement over stock as well. To cut down on the excessive amount of hoses and cables (And maintenance), i've gone 1x10 which is clean, quiet easy to maintain and hasn't caused me many gearing issues where i'm riding, if the hills are too steep, push harder, if the trail is too fast, get back on the singletrack! If the Shadow+ RDs would stop breaking that would be great.
