Looks seriously nice. And is that frame bag yours or are you thinking about it?
But man you gear your bikes way too heavy imo. 34/36 on 29" wheels will be too heavy even in places in dk, especially if its loaded. More so, i cant imagine when you'd be close to spinning out on 34/11 unless its down hill on a gravel or asphalt road. I spin out at what im guessing is about 40 or 42 km/h on 36/11 but on 650b wheels, but i do imagine your legs as tree trunks, and it is a matter of preference :)
And btw, if your x9 is type 2 you can run a 11-42 from sunrace (just barely) and for sure an 11-40. Or you can get a sram 1x road/cx mech and run it on a 10sp 11-42 cassette no problems, cuz the pull ration is the same as a 10sp trigger. Id suggest stick with the 94mm spider and go 30t or 32t

Framebag is a horrible Photoshop steal of a bag Sam at Stayer had made. Id like the same basically.
I am listening to your concerns, but I can climb most things at 34/36. And if I had to get off and push the bike once in while that will be ok.
But hey I might just try a 11-40 next time. I think the clutched x9 is type yes?

Thanks dudes.
I have done a PS mock up of the MTB.
I am not sure what to do with components. I am getting some cash from the porteur and have the wheels floating about already. Maybe I should buy the SLX groupset or use spare parts from the bin to begin with.
I have a pair of Tune Bigfoot cranks I might buy a new spider (+80gbp) for and use with a 34T chainring. I can use that with a 11-36T cassette and my X9 rear mech and a Paul thumbie with a SRAM 10sp barend shifter I have kicking about. BUT I don't really have any hydraulic brakes as I gave my dad mine. I fancy a mix of parts and would like some really expensive fancy disc brakes, but the SLX groupset just seems like such a good deal compared to spending money on stupid square taper cranks etc.
