Jva Posted May 4, 2015 Share So after much research the decision was made for said frame, mainly 2 reasons. Built specifically for efficiency and ease of maintenance. Build: Carbon frameCane creek 40 headset, taperedShimano pressfit bbXt front and rear derailleur`sXt 2x10, 24/38 crankXt 11/36 rear casetteSid xx dual air front shock. Learn that shocks actually have a offset or rake. The sid has a 45 degree which is ok, but ultimately a 51 degree will be best.Thomson Elite seatpostAvid Elixer 7 brakesWheelset: Built by Dave Marshall, Spoke and Spanner. Hope Pro evo 2 front and rear hubs. Front rim velocity blunt sl, rear rim WTB KOM. All with sapim laser spokes. Just waiting for bottom assembly of the headset then we can go....
