Were you just going to glue in the threaded insert?

This will no longer be ridden as sscx.
Did you consider removing sliding dropouts? I realise its more work and you can always go back to SSCX if you leave them. But they're largely excess weight now aren't they? Or does it give you a noticeable longer wheel base for longer more relaxed riding?
Not criticising. Just wondering.

Amazing thread and lovely bike. It's projects like this one that make this forum great.
What's the x5 modification for? Is it adjusting cable pull to make the 10 speed shifters compatible with the 9 speed mech? I though the mech would work fine as it was with 10 speed shifters. If it is to sort cable pull how did you know the size to make the brass fitting?

This will no longer be ridden as sscx. It will be setup as 1x10 with SRAM s700 hydraulic shifters and a customized SRAM X5 rear mech.
Partslist looks like this:
This is my first attempt at a tubeless setup, quite excited about it for the upcoming cx season. Been running clinchers for most races (which is shit if you are a big bloke like me) and tubs for one season, which is a lot of work and expensive, but nice because of no pinch flats.
