Stoked. Also stoked the matching fork left today. Can't wait to see the build, going down the front stairs, without a helmet

This is hi xc bike! You mean going up the stairs without a helmet.

Ok , finally got time to start. Step One completed, lubricant was triflow. Is there nothing this stuff can't do.
Connected the rear to the front, inflated the shock. Looking good so far. Front derailleur removed as expected

 

[safreek]

Just not to let anybody down

A direct mount stem would solve that issue. Could also get a csu for those forks I think. If you actually wanted to fit them.

Not set up for a regular stem. DM as stated. Save you 30mm or more.

may surprise you but it's not really happening, going with the 55s that should suit much better.
Going to vernier the headtube later so I get the right headset.

 

[pink poodle]

55s are a sweet fork.

 

[safreek]

Have not got them yet but they are on their way

My name is freeky, I have a problem.
I like dual clamp forks, it's been 2 days since I have put dh forks on a short travel bike.
Can I have my 2 days clean badge
