I am building a 29er SS rigid bike
currently it's
Ultra secret 29er ti frame only for rigid forks
Pace rc31 rigid forks 440 length
Paul components disc word hubs and mavic 719 rims
XTr cranks 175mm
hope mini brakes
Looking for suggestions for a 70mm stem , carbon bars , seat and post , light big tyres and any other parts i have missed
i am a 12 stone and a a gentle rider ,, only ever broken one frame in 25 years of mountain bike riding ,,

Not helping unless you spill the beans. So there!! 😆
but it's a secret,, ,, i think that means i cant tell you ,, at the moment,,,
for the bars maybe Ragley carbon Carnegie Bars
might go well with the frame maybe ❓
might go well with the frame maybe
ragley - that was my thinking too!
Tyres - Racing Ralphs, 2.4 f, 2.2 r
If you want to put carbon bits on it, I can recommend a Syntace P6 post. And my choice of lightweight saddle would be SLR.
Boone ring and cog?
I'd say salsa pro moto flat carbons, silly light and very wide so great for hauling on up climbs. I love them on my 29er (145g for 25.4x660mm)
light seatpost/saddle combo sdg I-post in carbon with an i -fly saddle. about 370g (ish) for the lot with a 400mm 27.2 seatpost
tyres- racing ralphs 2.4 front 2.25 back as they are massive and a 2.4 won't fit in some frames on the rear.
Ashima air rotors cheap good and 84g for 160mm
that's my choice of bits for a standard light build, all weights are actual on my scales because I'm a geek 😀
I'd go for Stans 355 or Olympic rims as they are lighter and ralphs and tubeless go very well together
havnt tried tubless, yet maybe this is the bike to try it on
Its going to be a nice build.
29er 355's are a very good choice. I run them tubeless at 22psi with Maxxis Crossmarks on my 29er SS and I am amazed by the amount of grip I get even in the winter with a summer tyre!
I run a EC70 bar with bar ends and while not that wide (580mm) its worked fine for me.
My guess would be a Ragley TD1 frame with that fork length ?
could be,, when they arrive
