Haha ha, I was going to write that about chops, but I don't know him that well to put that much
shit on him.......not that that should ever stop anyone.
So Steve what gives with the frame problem ?

Almost finished rebuild and today fitted chain.
But wait something is not right, jockey wheel hitting cogs with 2cm gap on b-screw....

It was all set up on the old frame so shouldn't need more than a minor tweak.

Remove hanger as I kept the original, left is new, right is from old frame, now fitted and working like a charm....

Wow....

Have you had a look as to whether you can get the "original" hanger as a spare part?

The "new" one's B-limit screw platform is in a very weird spot....

Is one the shimano shadow direct mount version or something?

Pushy's sent me a correct spare so all good. The new frame like the original bike came with yet another very different hanger.....

Such a good bike.

Version 1 was bang on 10kg with a regular seat post and version 2 is the same weight with a dropper. Mighty impressive achievement.
