And between running 4-to-5cm of headset spacers or taking my advice and picking up a 76mm ProTaper riser bar they’re choosing spacers. I’ve worked on bikes belonging to some big dudes who ride hard and buy rigs with tiny headtubes and can’t get over the aesthetics of riser-bars over 40mm. Would there be any difference to bearing life/steerer durability say going from 2cm of spacers to 3cm of spacers? Then what’s the effect of going from 3cm to 4cm? ![]() I mean, certainly that’s the theory but the question boils down to what is “excessive.” On that note, the medium ships with a 150mm and both the XL and XXL use 200mm posts. The stock Nukeproof-branded saddle works okay for me, as does the 170mm Brand-X dropper. That said, for double clamp lock-ons, these Sam Hill grips are actually quite comfortable. In the process, I'll take advantage of the hinged dropper post lever clamp and the I-Spec to MatchMaker adapter on the shifter to run the push-on grips already installed on it. There's something about hardtails, even with suspension forks, where my wrists are significantly happier with the alt-bar lever backsweep. I’ll also install my SQlab 30X bar with a 16° backsweep. With the Schwalbe Double Defense tire the CushCore Pro I had on hand is probably overkill, so I’ll move over the CC Trail insert that‘s on the We Are One Arrival when that review wraps shortly. First, no matter what rim came stock, it‘s a hardtail so there’s a tire insert going in. Instead I’m making two obvious changes out of the box. I should just trim the 800mm handlebars to my preferred length and go. Slap on some pedals and ride, right? The Scout Comp build has no obvious shortcomings.
