Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

Specific axle, or standard MTB?

standard MTB

Sad lol

Hmm, 119,132 and 137mm lengths available.

I think it's the standard MTB axle

I thought wrong, it's 137mm.

Here's a link to the XX AI spider

I bought some rims from Platypus - Sam at LMNH now has the challenge of working out WTF has to be done for the rear hub/axle/dishing.

WTF has to be done

Lacing them onto obscenely loud hubs?

DTSwiss 240S centrelock was my choice.

Time for the scales to come out of retirement

Nah, I’m fat these days

Also: what to do with the old wheels?

Talbot offset rear rigid SS

Re-dish the rear to normal and flog em

Shame they’re too large for me Julie’s bike, but there you go.

I have a fork for sale that would fit btw...

?

One of these

But with black stanchions. They're really, really good. I got a new one for my 29er

Me too!

Too much travel and too narrow an axle I think?

Will go down to whatever travel you want. And it's not boost, but just build a not-boost wheel?

I hadn’t intended on upgrading the fork, however would these not be the logical next step?

Don't you already have the 'performance elite' fork? In which case it's the same as that factory version, apart from the kashima coated stanchions

2019 version would have the 'grip 2' damper, which might be worth upgrading to

I meant for ye Julie's bike, not yours

If a 27.5 inch 100mm travel Boost SID World Cup fork would do, I have one going spare. About to go back to CRC otherwise.
