Silverback upgrade build

So I own a 2014 Silverback Sprada 2. Great trail bike, decent standard spec. After 4500km, it was time for a major overhaul.

 

This is what I've done:

 

1. Kept stock Reba 120mm fork and Fox shock, all bearings in the linkages upgraded.

 

2. Kept the stock Deore brakes, changed the rotors to 180/160 SLX

 

3. Changed the stock Shimano 11-34 cassette to Praxis 11-40

 

4. Changed the Shimano 42/34/24 chainrings to 38/26

 

5. Added KS dropper post

 

6. Changed stock Stan's Arch EX rims with Shimano hubs to WTB i25 Frequency rims with Hope Pro 4 hubs. Also changed stock tyres to Ardent Race 2.35 front and Ardent Lust 2.25 rear. This upgrade was amazing!

 

The bike stock was decent but now it rides and handles like an absolute dream!

 

All credit goes to Jason at The Trailhead. No one else puts that much love in their work.
