Hi all,
Am in the process of putting together a 29" build project and have come up with the following hypothetical list of componentry...
Frame - Pivot Mach 429
Fork - Fox 32 TALAS 29 (15mm thru axle, tapered)
Handlebars - Easton EA70
Grips - ODI Oury lock ons
Stem - Thomson 4x
Saddle - Whatever my arse says it likes.
Seatpost - Thomson Elite
Front brake - Hope Race X2 w/ 160mm rotor
Rear brake - Hope Race X2 w/ 160mm rotor
Cranks - Shimano XT
Pedals - Time ATAC
Front derailleur - Shimano XT
Rear derailleur - Shimano XT
Front shifter - Shimano XT
Rear shifter - Shimano XT
Cassette - Shimano XT
Wheelset - Easton Haven 29" 15mm thru axle
Tyres - (looking for thoughts on this one - UST compatabile thoughts)
Most of what you see I'm going to procure from OS (given the current exchange rate) which may or may not explain the choices I've made. Stock choice can be fairly limited in some cases.
What I'm most worried about (as I've never done a build before) is compatability. Does anyone see any show stoppers in this build? Any parts from your experience I should seriously consider changing/upgrading? Thoughts on the build overall?
FYI use will be limited to trail riding and the occasional enduro/epic.
Look forward to hearing from you all
