thebob Posted June 28, 2022 Share 2 hours ago, MTBRIDER1234 said: Thanks Fred! I am also super keen (if not a bit impatient lol) to finish the build and see how it turns out. I was also wondering how progressive the rear suspension is, as I am a very light guy and my rear shock has a few tokens in it, which I think I might need to remove. In my experience the suspension is pretty linear. At 75kg ready to ride (give or take) I'm at 165psi and 2.5 tokens with my Hyrax running a Deluxe shock. Happy to share setup advice when the time comes MTBRIDER1234 and Fred van Vlaanderen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBRIDER1234 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Sorry for the wait guys, but here she is fully built up: Also a lot of people think it is easy to build a bike and while it is not hard, you will more likely than not spend countless hours trying to decide on parts and the smallest things end up taking the most time haha Pieter1, Ruben Hechter, MajG and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask why you are not using the internal cable routing on the chain stay for the rear brake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I knew someone would ask, the formula cura brakes don't have a banjo fitting and when I routed it through the chainstay, the angle the cable had to bend was too sharp, so it was putting a lot of strain on the mounting point at the caliper and the cable was rubbing really badly where it exits the chainstay. Hope that helps awesme and Fred van Vlaanderen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
