Also cleared my balance on my credit card today and have enough saved for the new Fuel EX 8 27.5+, so I'm gonna get that once my billing cycle ends.
The EX 8 is a couple hundred cheaper than the bike I originally planning to get, so I'll have a little bit left over for some accessories too. Probably going to get some XT trail pedals and a helmet or camelback or something. What are some basic mtb accessories?
