Well the final bits have fallen into place.
XT brakes for £117 from Ribble are too cheap to turn down especially as its a budget build :P :oops: Also I've freed up the Pike off the Nomad as I have got a a 27.5" Fox 36 from stock which should well be my dream fork for that bike so I'm going to chop the spare air shaft to 140mm and then I just need the frame!0 -

Yes the new 2015 36 that has a whole new chassis and air spring. I cannot wait to get it now.0 -
My rims and spokes arrive on Monday from China, no customs charges which is nice.0

No news yet but that's not such a bad thing as it's been a expensive month! Hopefully it will be here late this month or early next.0 -
LB rims have arrived today and bladed spokes. I have got them all laced up and ready to true up, be the first pair of wheels I have built myself it I tension them, could be interesting lol.0

Tensioning LB rims is interesting.Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0

How come?0

They are extremely stiff with no flex at all plus my spokes were borderline a touch short so was tense tensioning!Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0

Cast off forks and LB wheels are all set for the new arrival:
Its arrived at the shop and is off to be invisframed up. It will be ready for collection on Friday but I might not be able to get it until Tuesday. We will have to see what happens.0 -

Just seen a photo invisiframe uploaded of the new solo frames.. Wow, they're nice0

I am not happy with the reliability of it. I am hoping that running it at 135mm will make for a more reliable damper. Running it at 160mm extends the damper shaft pretty far meaning any slight flex in the forks can cause the damper shaft to deflect and burp damper fluid from the seal head. Hopefully the extra insertion into the body will reduce this happening. Its not a isolated issue either, heard of plenty other people having the same sort of problem. In fact if you have the damper removed from the fork and wiggle the shaft a little bit you can make oil come out of it, pretty fucking shit really.
Anyhow here it is just waiting for invisiframe to do there stuff:

Pretty little collection today One fully invisiframed Solo/5010 Carbon 8)
All built up and ready to ride, just the fork decals to change, remove the tube from the rear tyre and pick up a saddle:
Not a bad pair:
Nice rack:

Love the stealth matte rims with no decal.. What colour you getting for the fork? I'd say white would work well
But yeah, nice rack

That looks incredible, nice one! I'm pretty jealous I have to say. Think I'd be happy with something in the middle of those two (the bronson?) and have a v10c, if it was me, but still, wouldn't turn my nose up at either of those 0

I still don't know why I subscribe to these threads. I'm just so sad at the end

I have no idea what's going on here.0 -
Really interested to find out how the LB rims take a bit of abuse! I am in the market for some new rims shortly.0
-
I want one. No, I need one... Shame it's a medium and not a large or I'd have it off you in 6 months 0

Had mine 3 months now with no issues and running a narrower tyre to usual.Russyh wrote:Really interested to find out how the LB rims take a bit of abuse! I am in the market for some new rims shortly.Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0
