Carnage

Newish bike is finally finished. After replacing frame through Intense and Rims through DT Swiss, adding a new Fox 34 Grip2 Factory fork, and a few other bits, my replacement parts came in a little over $3K. A lot of money for sure, but I think replacing the frame and rims through the manufacturer was a good move since there is no sales tax on accident replacement parts, and a similar build on a new bike would probably be $6K plus tax. Besides, I've always loved my Primer! Huge props to @Chief for his expert build work! 

New Parts:

2018 Primer SL monocoque UD carbon front and rear triangle assembled with original carbon upper link (new bearings), i-BOX lower pivot (new bearings), titanium frame hardware

Continental Trail King Shieldwall 29x2.4" front tire, Continental Mountain King Shieldwall 29x2.3" rear tire

2020 Fox Factory Float 140mm Grip2 Boost Fork - 44mm offset

RaceFace Turbine 50mm Stem with 35mm Clamp

Renthal Fatbar Lite Carbon Bar - 760mm with 20mm rise and 7 degree backsweep

Transferred Parts:

Fox Factory Float SV EVOL, 200mm X 50mm Shock

Shimano XTR Brakes

SRAM XX1 11-spd Shifters and Derailleur

Good move on transferring your XX1.  My test ride came with XTR pie plate sized cassette and I didn’t use the lower 3 gears and was wishing for smaller steps between the top gears.  If I get a new bike and it comes with 12 spd I’m putting my old xx1 11spd on there.

Just switched to Cont Trail Kings myself seeing that Maxxis tires are close to $85 a piece right now. 

This is my second time running the Conti Shieldwalls, and I really liked the TrailKing 2.4 front and back first time around. Decided to put the slightly narrower MountainKing on the back this time, mostly just because I was having trouble finding the TrailKings. It used to be easier to find premium tires at heavily discounted prices. Like you I just can't see paying $85 for an MTB tire, and these budget tires from Conti are less than half of that.
