The World's Fattest Man with no bike! aka - find hippy a new bike aka - Just get ( fill in blank )

Get the Pike in silver, or the 34 in orange.

I do like those forks but not sure about orange + Misty Blue. That's literally my only concern.

Get matching ornage Hope kit and it'll look sweet.

Yeah, my appetite for long stuff off-road is much much much lower than on-road at the moment. 3hrs w/ no water and no food, having to concentrate on not dying knocks me about a bit. 3hrs on the road bike with no food and water and I've barely noticed I've left the house.

Oh, well you'll love my tyre measuring tweets. Imagine how wide I can go when I get an MTB!

Shimanonly

This thread will be over soon without an epic magura bleeding adventure.

I'll be selling my single pot 8100s soon. Just gotta bleed the spare set of Hope E4s I found in my pile of parts and swap them around.

I've bled Magura without issue many years ago. They're still on the Inbred. I was going to replace them with Shimano year ago but what's the point for a commuter/pub bike? If I start riding it 'properly' I'll do it. I'll need to give the hardtail back at some point and then I'll want knobbies on the Inbred but it's a lot of faff to ride something I'll crash on the first outing :)

What are these choices:
Kabolt 110x44
Kabolt 110x51

sad that's half of the arguing done!

hippy always argues ad infinitum, and half of infinite arguing is still infinite arguing, so you don't have to be sad.

The thread title needs updating ('find hippy new mountain bike components'), and I'm fairly shocked at BareNecessities' neglect of bare necessities.

I did actually change it the other day to "find parts" or something

I'm not getting into a name change war with hippo

Did anyone mention offset yet?

I tried to ignore it. WTF is offset?

It's rake in old money

So my question is then, which one and why do I care? Presumably the frame will be designed around one amount?

Yeah, ask Stanton if you can't find it on their geometry page.

HTFU.

Fair enough

They spec a 44mm Ohlins on their Elite build so 44mm it shall be.

"Ohlins RXF36 m.2 Air TTX 18 120mm 44 offset"

What are Ohlins RXF36 m.2 Air TTX 18 120mm 44 offset forks like compared to the Pike, Fox, SID?

I thought they did coilovers for race cars and shit? Never seen one on a bike.

Actually fuck it, I'm going to order a Fox.

They're gonna do the frame sticker-free for me and I've added a derailer hanger to the order.

Rockshox put the skewer in from the right, Fox from the left - if you have a couple of bikes and put them on the roof rack this is a handy thing (Cane Creek forks are on the left, don't know about Ohlins).
