Long-time endurance sicko chiming in: all your choices look bomber to me.
Don't doubt your tire approach. XCM always calls for a little party up front and business out back. Shoot, the fastest endurance racer I know runs Aspen-like tires out back AND up front, but he has truly mad descending skills.
And great call on the disks. I always figured that every wheel, front or rear, should have the same disk, because fast changes.
Quick cage question: will the Blackburn side loader fit a one liter zefal magnum bottle without it leaning outwards, in the "almost ready to release" position?
Have fun out there!
