Still under construction:
CRC custom XT build wheelset with Sun Rhyno Lite XL's, strong DT Swiss champion spokes and DT Swiss Brass Pro-lock nipples. Heavy but cheap and strong enough for me at 2508g and $196.52 AUD.
XT hubs.
Sun Rims.
Maxxis rim tape. I've got billions of these lying around as they come with Maxxis tubes.
I was happy to see these in the box, free XT skewers which are so buttery smooth in comparisson to the sharp and painful to use (but super light weight) KCNC's I'm using on the Reign.
MRP MiniMe System 1 chain guide.
ISCG mount FTW.
The manual (which sucked) suggested I might need to file stuff. I was hoping I'd be lucky, but I wasn't. The inner plate was hitting my frame so I had to mount the rings on the outer side of the crank spider. That meant that I had to file down the outer plate as it was hitting the crank arms. I did a clean-ish job though and got it all to work with little pain.
Fitted!
Splashed out and got this great saddle. Light and the "C" stands for comfort.
Fun SMX stem.
This amazing dude saved my life. No seriously look at the low stack height! My super short steerer is not an issue anymore, in fact I need to use a 10mm spacer now as this stem's stack height is so damn low. Perfect!
Love how fat the Nevegal 2.35's look. They used to be on the Reign ages ago, glad to see them being used again.
Just another shot.
I'm missing:
- Brakes (levers, cables, rotors, calipers)
- Rear derailleur (I'd really like a short cage)
- Chain (I've got a spare weenie one which I'll use for now)
- Grips
- Rear shifter (I've got an LX one spare)
