I have a RS Reba on my 29er and it's awesome. The Fox F29 is good too. Stick with one of those and you won't be disappointed.

As far as the shifters, I think it'd just boil down to personal preference. I'm not a big fan of grip shifters, but that doesn't mean someone else shouldn't use them.

Love, love, LOVE my XO grip shifters. Had XO triggers and the thumb lever straight up broke.

I have a REBA on my 29er, and I love it.

As far as shifters, I don't like grip shifters, but I think its personal preference.

I would say that shifters are a matter of preference, I know you are using X9 trigger's now so why not stick with them. As for the fork, you can't go wrong with a Reba or the F29, but as you know, I have an F29 100mm for sale.

Well they do match your TLD knee guards. Maybe you could buy some white Dakine gloves off ChainLove next.
