Looks awesome mate. Glad delivery was able to be organised.
Also love the gold cura’s and I dig what you’re doing with your hydration solution.

YT have little 475ml bottles and cages for $25 so I've managed to get 950ml in the front triangle. Was always my biggest gripe with the older model Banshees but managed to sort it.

They are meant for their ebikes but fit nicely on the Banshee.

What travel have you got the durolux set to?

 

[The Reverend]

Loving this. They're such a good bike, and that'll do you proud for a long time to come.

That water bottle idea is good too. I just sling a small collapsible water bottle in my Henty backpack but the is much better.

How're you getting on with the Sr Suntour Durolux RC2? Have you opened it up yet? They're as dry as a martini from the factory so get going with the slickoleum and it reduces the stiction I've found.

Interesting - mine had plenty of slicko. No oil but plenty of grease. I’ve but popping oil in via the ports on the back for a few months (just once every six weeks or so) and will open it up again for a lower service soon

Loving the bike and had a good time building it up. Love the Durolux, had a Auron previously and this is even better. Opened it up and there was plenty of slicko, it's a dry lower so no oil but they didn't skimp on the grease.

Good to hear, I'm very impressed with the fork too, it's a winning performance bargain in my view.

Looks f'ing great, especially the shampoo & conditioner holders for when you get caught in the rain and need to keep those locks looking luscious.

 

[steve jobs' pancreas]

Nice !!!

 

[dirtdad]

The black looks hawt! So keen for my v3 to arrive.

What brake mount did you use for the rear (and size rotor?)?

 

[Litenbror]

What travel have you got the durolux set to?

Missed this, I have it set at 140mm atm and with the extra axle to crown that the durolux has it's probably 150 for rs or fox, I really like the high stack.

It's a good point about the extra A2C on the Durolux. I'm probably running all my forks ~10mm too high.

I was reading your stuff over on MTBR about 150mm being the sweet spot and figured that would be about 140mm for the Durolux, fortunately that's what they were set at for the Waltly.

It's a Shimano SM-MA90-R180p, came with the frame.

I'm running 180mm formula rotors front and back.
