As I found the 15mm adapters in the shed this morning I thought I'd put it all together properly, because impatient child <<
Actually feels pretty great at 160mm, considering the frame is designed around a 140mm 650b or 150mm 26". Have since been out and bought a proper big person's hacksaw and trimmed and deburred the steerer properly.
And just for giggles:

Yup. I did in fact get slightly more panicked pedal strokes than usual in on the obligatory wheelie test

Funnily enough the pressure seems spot on right out the box. Maybe CRC have been spying on me

Time to test it out on the gnarliest local trails.
Oh..

Done and got it dirty. Very confidence inspiring down our Gnar-Lite trails, nice and planted round corners and much easier to bunny hop and boost off little jumps. I think. Could all be in my head of course.
Shall try and get it to Chicksands or something at the end of the month.

You build well balanced looking bikes.

I always thought this one looked kinda ungainly but the fork seems to have solved that

Upgradez! NOS Hope Pro 2 and EVO hubs, bargain Pacenti TL28s. Hope they work out well because they were a pig to build.
Decided to finally attempt to make a nipple driver, and managed to repurpose an old axle to make an adapter for the truing stand. Perfect fit

Just awkward to true?

Silver/silver/black is my favourite wheel colour combo!

Very. And the extrusion doesn't seem as even as other rims I've used. The seam is especially prominent. Still, got them to < 1 mm, as best as my shitty truing stand can show

Ditto! All black just looks like machine built stuff
-
• #316
Amen!

Perfect Sunday for pissing about in the woods with @BareNecessities
As you might gather, I'm rather enjoying this one now

Just minor things now. Drop the fork down to 140, pop the 27.5 dropouts on, 160mm disc at the back maybe, some new grips. Any other "upgrades" like 11/12sp, noticeable weight loss, wideboi rims etc would be stupid money, so this one is p much done!

A basket is for life.
Please buy all the XTR and put it on something awesome though. That would be excellent
Are they 160mmm out of the box? Mad wheelies.
