400. I need 350, maybe 300. I’ll have a play, but definitely a bit firm. I guess they expect a bit more rider on a large bike. I’m just oddly proportioned. Will run you Öhlins for an upcoming shuttle and race day, I reckon.Great that it arrived safely at last! I hope you love it!
What lb spring is on the shock? It's tricky getting that dialled in so if I can help with that let me know.

I don’t disagree. I’ll sort something better another day. They work well but.Make sure you cover that vertical brace on the swing arm before riding otherwise the chain will eat the paint really quickly. Cover it right down to the chain slap protector.
Not gonna lie, that is one ugly chain guide.
Enjoy the maiden voyage!!
It’s like relying on the pullout method to avoid kids. Sure it works 99% of the time, but that one time you go hard, you’ll slip and end with a lifetime of pain. Ask @Rorschach if he wished he put a chainguide on hisSerious question, do you need a chain guide?
I haven't dropped a chain for years, or am I doing it wrong?
Also, aside from the small wheels this is a great build, love it

TL;DR.What he said.
I went years without guides and no chain drops, then stated riding a bit more aggressively, pedalling through rough and choppy sections in races, and starter to occasional drop. Just not worth the risk, as much as I prefer the look and quietness of no guide.
That said, used to run guideless with short cage Zee. These bigger derailleurs and longer cages almost certainly bounce around a lot more, and I’m only running middy 11sp.
