Couldn’t help myself, the 170mm XX1 carbon crankset I had in my parts bin went on. OneUp chain guide too.
I’d been tubeless sweaty styles, but no more vigorous pumping needed with the Airshot. So good!
Got a Ratchet EXP HG freehub in the mail and now my DT Swiss wheels with DT180 hubs are on the bike too.
Then there’s this thing. A 140mm Fox 36 SL. Kashima goodness!
You too, Mr. Fox.
Almost 2kg’s saved, very nice.
Hnnnng!
Nothing better than tinkering with bikes when it’s too wet to ride.
HG freehub for my DT Swiss wheels came in the mail today so I got that on and ripped off the Tufo XC tyres. Whoever created tyre inserts can go EAD. Trying to break the bead to remove the rear tyre was impossible. I ended up cutting the tyre (they were trash anyways lol)
Fox fork came in the mail too. Chopping the steerer and inserting the nut went smooth as, but I fucked up with the post mount brake adapters. Front +23 was right for a 203mm Galfer rotor I had in my parts bin, but the rear +23 didn’t work as the frame is designed for 160mm rotors (there was a +20 adapter on there already). I’m re-using the 180mm Tektro rotor for now.
Really happy with the weight savings (and how it all looks!). Not set up the fork yet, but will do tomorrow. More rain predicted over the next few days but so keen to get out on the trails to dial it all in.
