That is going to look amazing. I’d gorilla tape the wheels and get out on it ASAP.

Ref the twinloc and dropper lever. Might be a stupid idea but is it possible to turn the AXS remote around and mount behind the twinloc to operate with your finger?

On the Blip, costs aside at Cape Epic I spoke with Nino’s mechanic and they had the blip button in the grip, and ran the cable (all nicely heat-shrinked to the brake cable) inside the frame where they stashed the blip box. Looked very clean.

Or could you use a rockshoc twistloc? Not sure if the throw on the leaver is the same?

OK finally got it finished today after a bit of an issue with the cassette which required a SRAM warranty return.

All up its still a smidgeon under the 10kg mark which isn’t too bad for an XL frame with a heavier than usual dropper.

Currently got all the stem spacers in as I haven’t been for a proper fit yet. Not the easiest build I’ve done but learned a lot along the way.

Nice! Under 10kg is really light!

I always wonder what mine weighs (XL like yours). Mine is the lower spec carbon frame though with a more mid-range build (GX Eagle, Fox 32 SC Grip etc).

Now I’ve decided to keep mine, I’ve been slowly upgrading. I’d love to have a different paint job, but it’s a bit more than I can spend at the moment.
