Changes so far:
Pedals: Gusset s2
Brakeset: Hope Tech 4 x2 brakeset
Wheelset: Hope pro 5 / fortus wheelset
Tires: Vittoria Mezcal tires 29x2.35"
Bars: Surly Sunrise
Chainring: Shimano XT 36t
Changed the shifter from slx to xt, didn't like the feel of it
Main reason of getting rid of the KM was max chainring size. Would spin out quite often when riding/commuting on the road
Slx brakes had to go as the added rise from the bars made these way too short. Was going to change them down the line anyway so there was no point in getting new hoses
Quite happy with the pedals so far, they are fully rebuildable and the service kit is cheap - was going to get hope f22 pedals but the pins were too long on them so would have to change the pins to shorter ones
Ended up using the same bike shop. One of the tires had a slit in the sidewall, so i had to wait for a replacement and some more sealant. Think all black tires would of been a better choice looking at it now
Changed the black spacers to silver
