Well Iv decided to pull the trigger and order one, as opposed to DIY kit on my current MTB.

Its hopefully coming in 10days. Is there anything in particular to look out for or I should be doing? Its not my first bike but my first emtb.

I didn't want a full sus as I don't do anything too technical.. yet.. but that may be to come in the future.

Right, so next question is can I use my current wheel set/tyres or any other bits of my bike, or more importantly is it worth doing so?

Current spec I think maybe worth using-
Rockshox recon rl 130mm recently serviced
Front marin wheel tubeless schwalbe hans dampf
Neuro rear maxxis high roller, XT hubs
Brand x ascend 150mm drop post ( unsure of seat post size on haibike) .

the sg tyres are alot thicker than the normal ones and for dh bikes but going tubeless with what you have wont be a problem.

i use one of these to fit the tyres you can do it with a track or foot pump but can be a pita for a loose fitting tyre.
