In my LBS for a few finishing touches 😀

Just using a standard 9mm QR up front?

yep pain in the ass to get the wheel on and off have to slacken caliper adaptor to give it a bit of wiggle room

I keep looking at the Alpkit 650b set to see if I can run a 9mm axle

<tart>

Looks like it could be the orange Salsa one, or the Easton one.

So, can anyone help me spec or order a road plus wheelset. I need 135mm QR rear and 9mm bolt through front. 650b rims. £300 or less?

Cheers

James

in orange LBS told me its the same as whats used on the cotic full builds

I’m using std love mud 9mm qr on mine up front. Not noticed a difference from the supplied bigger one.

Burko,

All fits in the fork ok?

Any chance of a pic?

I’ve got a standard QR in mine. Fits in ok, does require a bit of a wiggle, well, manual handling but it works.

Have also had a 9mm bolt through QR, which I presume it’s meant for, in there.

Building mine at present, got the BB & headset fitted at the mo and awaiting my Rival 1×11 parts. Ordered a pair of Juin Tech R1 brakes for stopping duties as I couldn’t stretch to full hydro’s. Should be complete in a month or so funds permitting and sourcing of a long cage Rival rear mech.
