Thanks for that, I picked up a pair of Sidi Eagle for $139…
Its arrived!
Awesome colour!
Heh, I have a Hope Trials 29er wheelset I can use on this too.
Check with LBS today. Distributor tells them early September but they think more like mid-Sept.
My current thoughts are to put my Sram Rise 60 wheels into it…
Seat collar installed. Time for a break.
Don’t work too hard.
Seatpost is now in.
Blow by blow build?
Only posting the most important items.
Next post should be headset
Pics of each step please.
If I have to take pics I’ll have to dismantle all the work I’ve done (seat collar and post)…
Ok, headset will go in. Maybe.
Standard issue Black King Headset, with a Salas liplock.
XTR Pedals to Sram Red cranks with 40tooth Wolf tooth wide-narrow
Rise 40 wheels, to XO type 2 short cage, XX cassette and BB7 Road calipers. Tyres are Bruce Gordon Rock and Roads.
Plz slow down this is all going too fast now.
P.s. looks rad.
I ordered the first parts for my build last night; 5800 shifters, rd, fd, chain and cassette.
I saw a pic of the back of the large 5800 chainring and it looks terrible for off-road use. It’s got a whole lot of indents that will catch mud and crud, so I’m considering a 6800 crankset instead.
I think I have a spare RED crankset somewhere.
Lookin good guys
I was researching these for a mate a while ago, and if you shop around the euro sites there are deals around the A$200 mark. Or was a couple months back…
Are you talking about the shifting ramps and pins, or the scalloped back of spider, or something else? Either way, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. What chainring combo are you thinking? Not a triple?
