The pedals are only on for now just to set up brake position and a test ride, it will be getting a pair of XT clips.

I'm not sure I've seen the SLX cranks as a triple. How very retro. Glad you're ditching the pedals, they don't look right. Everything else looks good though.

Good work bud.My only criticism would be to sack the pedals and put some black nanos on....Complete.
I see you've started the home brew quite young. ๐Ÿ˜€
