The rigid build is however only really good for 2 of the 3 but I live with it as up-hill and flats are more important for my riding. This is currently on my other rigid bike and is perfect for up, down and the flats. Original plan was XTR.ĭrivetrain will be the XTR M980 with 44/28 and 11/36. The MT7's rated so very well that I wanted them, but then found the Trail SL's. The idea is to incorporate that blue elsewhere in the build: įor the brakes I want to go with 2, 4 piston Magura MT Trail SL's because they will nicely match the chromed frame. What I really want is a 27.5 CroMo fork for 100x15 but that just aint working out! I will deal with this Aliexpress carbon fork for the time being (Ritchey only offers a rigid 27.5 fork for QR :skep. It will then be promptly polished and chromed. The frame is going to the shop tomorrow for sand-blasting. So I got this far with the build before deciding to change things up a bit more dramatically:
