Built the rear fat wheel last night, and fitted brake disk, and XTR cassette.
Offically ordered the lefty. Looks like my short headtube will allow me to get 100mm or more travel. Finally being a shortarse is paying off.
Currently considering rebuilding my front wheel. Using a crossed pattern as in the pic above (lacing the left flange to the right rim drillings and vice versa). I'm not confident I've moved the tyre far enougn to the right to clear the fork leg, and be central when the longer fork clamps are used.
One day I'll quit building silly complex bikes, and buy a OTP hybride.
