My Bronson has more travel than the new Nomad.

I wanted my Santa Cruz Bronson to be big enough to tackle bike park days. To do that, I had to make so key changes over the stock setup, including adding a Cascade link, Rockshox Zeb, and a few other key changes such as oversized brake calipers and a Switchgrade (saddle tilt adjuster).

I did leave out mentioning the Nobl wheels that are on this build. They have not given me any issues, and have needed minimal truing. I'm running the TR37s with DT350 hubs. I've always found DT350s to be reliable and hardly ever need servicing (but easy to service).
I will say, I've had 3 sets of Nobl wheels and have really liked all 3.

Overall, the Bronson has treated me very well. I love the mullet setup, and the big build has taken solid care of me in a variety of situations.
