MarcBurger Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Sounds like a seriously awesome kitout. I have no clue about the Formula brakes though, I haven't heard anything new on them for 2015.I'm also shopping for brakes on mine. prob SLX, if budget allows XT/X0/Guide RS. I'm also a Conti fan. Last forever. Pics or it didn't happen.

Be gentle 1st things 1st and most important Your arrangement is leaning toward the more Trail/AM rated setup which is excellent But, a 32mm stanchion 130mm + fork I would not advise UNLESS you are a sub 80Kg rider who is not all that aggressive on the trail. I don't build (recommend) any of my PYGA customs with a 32mm stanchion fork with travel from 130 & up as the wear & tear is that much greater upping maintenance costs , shortening service intervals and shortening the forks lifespan. I would only recommend a 34mm stanchion and set the travel to 140mm for that OneTen. A proper long term investment then and better resale value.

Be gentle Hey EmptyB Sounds like an awesome build and it's the same as I have in mind.Can you please share the weight of this build when you're done with it. I know, I know, weight shouldn't be a factor in AM rigs, but for them long 3+ hr out-rides with big climbs, it becomes a factor. Cheers

Had a 130mm revelation at first. But only since I mounted a 140mm Pike did I truly discover my 110's potential. EmptyB and trail - er - park 2

Cheers Howzit SingleTrack (I presume) Thanks, will definitely share the weight when its done and no, I wont lecture you about weight We on the same page because this is gonna be my all rounder including looooong distance rides. Yes, im curious about the final weight but no, its not my primary focus.
BBN Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I designed a front derailleur mount cover in a PYGA design, so you can make your 1x drivetrains look even better! You can get one here in every colour if you're interessted. https://www.shapeways.com/product/A9XNKZWNN/pyga-high-direct-mount-cover?key=1704869369b1d1d9c976ab36ac0a3fcdSo, how do we get these in South Africa? Let me know if you like them
