What are you building? I finalised my build today as follows, some parts I will source and some my LBS will get and they will complete the build when the frame drops next year
Forbidden Druid - Cosmic Eggplant
Fox Transfer
Fox Factory 36
Burgtec cockpit
Hope X2 brakes
X01 groupset
Hope Fortus Wheelset
Hope BB & Headset
Onza Porcupine tires
Cannot wait!
Oh, I'm jealous, the Druid in that colour looks awesome.
I was trying to work out the headbadge!
Hope X2 brakes though, do you prefer the dual piston ones? Hope V4's on both my bikes, love them! 203/180 on my jeffsy, 180/180 on the new bike to get them warmed up faster.
I'll be building a Nordest Lacrau 2 Ti Pinion gearbox frame, C1.12 gearbox with the Gates belt drive
Fox Factory 36 in 150 or 160mm travel
Brand X 200mm dropper
One up carbon bars
DMR Defy stem
Hope V4 brakes, 180mm rotors
Pinion/Hope hubs, DT swiss rims (haven't decided yet if it'll be a 27.5/29 mullet or a 29 front and rear - depends on tyre clearance)
Hope Headset
Vittoria Mazza/Martello tyres
Rimpact inserts
The fox 36 has an RRP Bolt on pro guard, and along with the gearbox, belt drive and titanium frame, it's an 'ultimate winterproof hardtail' build that will require just a hose down every few weeks, and means my lovely YT Jeffsy Pro Race won't be covered in mud for 6 months like last winter!
