Finished my ekar build finally. Was pretty straightforward, I splashed out on the new 13s chain tool and the retention pin makes it waaay easier than the hozan one I've used before.
Brake install was piss easy, followed the yt vids and nowhere near needing a bleed,didnt lose any fluid. Will give it a final tune and post some pics when I cut the steerer.
The only strange on is the bb feels weirdly tight on the stand, but can't feel anything when pedaling. Took it apart and reassembled and it's the same. Maybe the seals are much tighter than a usual UT bb.
No issue with indexing, I'd heard it was finicky but seemed very similar to other groups.
