I sometimes bend the hanger on new bikes sold in the shop with sx...
Noticeable play in the Judy and stanchions are actually faded...from the factory. A 10 year old recon is a better bet than this garbage.
Most likely a HG body. SX cassette is 11-50
Non boost chainset should be fine imo , even if frame is boost
The crankset is Powerspline?! Shittest interface ever right?
I’d probably singlespeed it but without knowing what hub/cassette is on it, it’s hard to know how easy that’ll be.
If it has a 9 Spline rear hub then it doesn’t matter if it’s boost if I was going to singlespeed it and wanted to chuck a non boost Deore crankset on would it? Chainstay clearance might be problematic I guess.
Fork being shit isn’t so good though. Less of a bargain if I’d need to replace that before long.
That said, the other option in weighing up is a singlespeed Kona A with ancient shock, forks and v brakes so…🤷
