Another thread that will likely not come to anything, but have realised with recent bike upgrades I have at least some of a new build (well forks, stem and bars anyway...) and have been thinking about putting together a bike to stuff about with the kids at the pumptrack on, but can also ride with the fam and maybe take on a GRoad (shudder) adventure rather than taking out the Prime.
I've got some 140mm Z2s I can put a 120mm shaft in and looking to pick up the following:
Anyone done something similar? And any suggestions on kitting it out?
I've got some 140mm Z2s I can put a 120mm shaft in and looking to pick up the following:
- Frame - thinking a Honzo or similar. Maybe an ally Ragley or Nukeproof
- Likely to be SS initially but capable of taking a mech
- External routing a bonus so I can mess it up myself
- Boost wheels - these come up pretty regularly on FaceAche, or I can treat the prime to some Hunts or similar
- Brakes
- Tyres
- Given I'll be doing more road time than offroad, maybe a Schwalbe Marathon or similar will work
- Dropper
- As this will spend its time either all the way up or all the way down, maybe a manual dropper would work, unless I upgrade the Prime and switch over
