Hi folks- just about to start my first bike build: have a 45650b frame from On-One, Rockshox revelation 130mm fork, and Mondraker 650b wheels. Planning on going 1x11, any advice specifically on the 45650b, or on building generally would be gratefully received. Cheers, Matt

You've forgotten something, always something you've missed.
Measure twice before cutting anything and don't take any shortcuts.

ha! yeah there's always something.

Only advise is take you time, measure twice cut once for the forks steerer tube is a good pointer to avoid a costly mistake.

Take your time and enjoy it. Pics when you've finished obvs ๐Ÿ™‚

From experience with an On One Inbred frame, make sure your BB threads are nice and clean. I had to get mine chased after wrecking my first BB!

If it won't start the first half hand-tightening, then don't force with the spanner ๐Ÿ™‚

It's best to have the brake lines go on the inside of the frame at the caliper end.
