Like, WTF is BOOST and do I need it?
Is 120mm suspension a lot? a little? too much?
"Side Swing front derailleur required for double" WTF is that?
"BOOST cranks must be used for proper 52mm chainline" are my knees going to die?
"Recommended tire size: 27.5x2.4 (2.8 max) or 29x2.25 (2.4 max)" fat enough? I mean that's basically road bike tyre widths :)
2.25" is bordering on gravel now. Current trendy wheel/tyre combo is 29"×2.4-2.6".
You will want Boost unless you're trying to save money by buying something old
For a proper trail hardtail 130-140mm forks are about right, maybe you could use less if you're not shredding gnar
