Updated original build spec.
Few changes of late, mezzer pro fork, cura 4 brakes, running galfer 203mm 2mm front rotor, 180mm swiss stop catalyst rear, new wheels are spank vibracore 350 front and spank vibracore 359 rear on tairin shogun hub, running tannus tube front and rear, also trying schwalbe rock razor 2.35 rear tyre.
This think rocks. So happy with it with these updates. Fork is amazing (currently set at 160)it just does everything right for me. Much more mid support than the previous lyric. I’m not using the last 10mm of travel but I’m not touching it for now. Wheels are great, the rear hub was an unknown but has paid off so far, great engagement and quiet now it’s properly lubed up. (
@PJO Thanks a million, solid wheel. Will drop this think off for you to play with for a week and see what you recon)
Front was cheaper to buy a complete spank wheel so went that way. Haven’t ridden it enough to comment to much on wheels yet. Definitely sold on tannus inserts, really stiffens up the side walls and I’m already running lower pressures than I ever have tubeless and no tyre roll at all. Solid set of wheels and of course not the lightest but they will last. Brakes I’m not 100% sold on yet but will give them more time. So much more modulation than I’m used to but no doubt about it there is plenty of power there. Swiss stop catalyst rotors are brilliant but I’ve run them before so no surprise there. Galfer will hold judgment till I’ve put a decent amount of k’s on. Seems to be bedding in nicely but time will tell. Will get some race matrix pads when they are back in stock. Overall same as first day I rode it, this thing always puts a smile on my face. Couple of photos I took mid ride
