What a beast! This build came out awesome. Got the Shimano XT shifter and brakes installed and could not be happier! 

A big part of this build was getting the right air shaft for my Yari to stretch it out to 150MM. Michael over at Worldwide Cyclery was on point with getting me the correct part I needed to make it happen. They don't sponsor me, but any place that has that level of service gets a big shout out from me!
