Overall Review:

After three months of riding my Airborne Hobgoblin, I have no complaints. It climbs fantastic and descends like an xc bike. I had been riding a 2006 Superlight.  I switched the NX shifter to a twist, mounted a Raceface seat and Thompson seatpost. The brake and shifting were great out of the box and continue to work well. Both wheels needed tightened and tensioned within a few rides, but that’s an issue on most wheelsets I’ve not built. Both Rockshoxs hold great pressure and keep me on the trail. All of the frame pivots are slop free. I thought lock-outs were dumb. They’re not, I use them both, to work on my spin on road sections. Maybe dropper posts aren’t dumb either.  I would, however, like to point out some small things. I’ve chipped paint off the down tube through lack of frame protection, Sugru has worked nicely since then. Because of the clutch derailleur, my chainstay is still perfect. Watch the heel rub though, on both driveside stays. The cable routing under the BB started to wear through the carbon within a few rides. Pulling longer loops out of the frame and wedging the cables in place has fixed this problem.  On the plus side, instead of hearing “Why are you still riding that?”, I now get “What is that? Never heard of them.”.  After three months of riding my Airborne Hobgoblin, I love it.
