Il before I hit go is there anything I'm missing from my order?
72kg. 457 spring ok?
The frame currently has 10% off and that kinda means the Öhlins air shock is "free" (in my head at least). Thinking I'll use the coil in the parks and the air shock for big pedally rides.
Going to use the XT mech, XTR shifter and 165 SLX cranks from my current Strive (checked the BB width and they're the same). Will buy a new set of brakes as the current XTs are well used and abused.

i assume the axle etc are just spares to keep in the tool box?
Otherwise looks good.
I run mine with a RS coil shock. Sometimes fancy trying an air shock, but its just so good as is!
Enjoy 🙂
Noy going for UDH (plus hanger for XT)? I have a V2.2 and made the mod to UDH (though still with hanger for normal mech) the UDH system / axle is easier to use that the propriety raaw one, yes you loose the chainstay adjust, bit it does not come loose and is also creak free. Def worth getting some spares at time of order as expensive to order little parts from them. I have the Ohlins air and works very well.
oh raaw's own mech hanger are a little soft, even their newer 7075 one (not tried a steel one). again was another reason to go UDH.
Ordered.
Have included the bits kit or whatever they call it which includes a spare mech hanger. Although I'm sure somewhere I saw steel versions being sold.
Cheers boys!
Can't wait for the NBD post on this one. Been having seriously unwholesome thoughts about the Madonna.
Sounds like it’s going to be an awesome build. Looking forward to nbd post and going a little green
Me too, lads.... Me too.
Need to order some brakes and rotors for it.... Still ummming and ahhhhing as to what I'll buy. Maybe play it safe and go XT. Or Cura 4s....
There will probably be some random thing I've not thought about and it'll be weeks till I can get the part because of the baby Jesus birthday madness.
Just to help build the anticipation, left my eeb at home today and took my uplift bike out for a proper pedal.
