Hi All,
Thanks to questions on here, and an irrational desire to build a hardtail, I've finished-ish the Chumba HX2 build.
Piccies of bike:


Piccies of far to cheeky 4 year old who decided last weekend that he was going to learn to ride his bike, now there's no stopping him. Little madam not yet riding , but scooting along quote the thing.


Of interest on the build, from this 'ere forums I got: Frame, brakes, cables, shifters, derailleurs, headset and spacers, handlebars, stem. All good experiences, fast delivery and as described. I think I thanked everyone.
Only the Hayes brakes needed a bit more TLC than expected, but with a bit of time and care they are awesome. I now find my Juicy 5s on my stumpjumper so on-off, hayes maybe a tiny bit less total power, but much more smooth.
So, on another post about sweating over a headset install, I promised to show piccies, so here you go. Thanks all for the help! No proper ride yet, but it does feel rather good. Stiff and a very good fit for me.
Kev
