sick build and the gearing does sound easy. it's not my bike but a 10 t cog would feel better with the 22t tree.
New bars and brakes..

I replaced my Holzfellers with Deity bars and replaced my HFX-9 hydraulics with a BB7 and Avid Speed Dial 7 lever. Oh and a white housing to match. Lever and caliper are 08' and I love the newcolor. Now the bike is 99.5% complete and only remaining item is the Ti spindle.
Final weight as is 29.25lbs but will get below 29 with the spindle. I absolutely love how this bike rides and love how it came out asthetically. Everyting is black, white or chrome (except the red knobs on the caliper and lever).
I actually love the ratio. It is hard enough for the indoor park but not too hard for that extra pedal you need. For me and my riding style it is perfect. All of the parks I go to I do not need anything more.. A 12t is the smallest that fits on a SS cassette without a 1-piece driver. I have my 25t and extra chain if I go anywhere that needs a taller gear...
