SS MTB build (inc. hub installation, disc brake bleeding, suspension fork lowering)

Take your brakes to the shop to be bled, & don't even attempt to mess about with your forks. For the sake of £20-30 what the shop will charge, you really are gonna save yourself alot of headache. Hope brakes are the worst to bleed. Cycle Surgery in Camden has a Polish mechanic that is the best for your brakes. What length are your forks? I am currently building a 29er single speed jump bike.

Looks pretty simple in the video. The Hope bleed kit costs £25, and then I can use it again instead of having to pay £30 at a shop every time I need it done. Plus I'm in Peckham so not really up for going to Camden just to have the brakes done.

The forks are Rock Shox Argyle 409.

why are you lowering the forks?

The bike is going to be used around London, so I figure I don't need the full 100mm if I'm not taking it mountainbiking. Plus lowering it should make it slightly more maneuverable right? Might try it on 100mm for a bit and then try 80 and see how it feels.
