Here’s my half arsed attempt of uploading a photo!

Would like to know anyone who has sourced a suitable grommit for dropper… Was planning to silicone to stop muck getting into the frame

Dt swiss ex511 on 350 hubs from fitwheels
Zero regrets

It was too close for comfort and gave little / no tolerance to align the caliper to the rotor. There may be some slight difference between the dave / tiktik xt / slx but reverting to a 2 pot rear was my best option.

I’ve used Ryz at Fitwheels.eu
Service was sublime and everything discussed on email prior was fulfilled.
Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.. Drop him an email and work out a deal

Heads up if anyone is thinking of installing the new shimano xt m8120 4 pot caliper on a 180 rotor (on the rear), it fouls the frame and won’t fit. A 160mm rotor will work with the 4 pot via direct mount or a 2 pot will fit with a 180mm rotor.

May save someone finding out the hard way 👍

Cheers mate!!

Can anyone who has built up a dave confirm what mount is required to run a Rear 180mm rotor? Cheers

Just used screen cleaning wipes and a lint free cloth. 5ml Johnsons baby shampoo mixed with 800ml water (plenty) sprayed via water bottle on sheet and fingers. Warm room and used a squeegee. Had loads of old phone screen protector kits lying around which helped. The guide inside the invisiframe pack was followed and results were pretty much bang on!
Only did my forks, will be cheaper to powder coat my frame when in need of a refresh.

Are those forks on the right way?

Edit, yes

Was told the same on PX online chat for my dave. Haven’t fitted yet but earlier posts on this forum suggest it works (Dave, not sure on tiktik)

DT Swiss 29″ EX511 on 350 hubs hand built by Ryz at Fitwheels.eu
Fantastic service, went above and beyond in everyway! Check them out as the price was ridiculously competitive

My XL was fully enclosed and nothing damaged in transit. Was expecting the worse but pleasantly surprised… Only niggle was lack of thru axle as read on a social media post by on one that they were being supplied??

Can anyone confirm the thread length required on the axle, 10 or 20mm??

Looks good!! Happen to k ow what length seat tube it will accept?

I’ve had to defer my delivery date but so far seems poor that frames are being received with defects.
QC, poor packaging or substandard courier… Doesn’t bode well…
Fingers crossed as my 30 days return policy has passed on most my parts previously ordered?!

Did they spec the axle for aftermarket alternatives?

Ordered the dave as soon as it went live!

Got to be close now… All parts purchased just don’t know what to bolt them to yet?!

Shimano 12 speed xt chain £26.99 on amazon which seems reasonable

I’m getting ex 511 built on 350 hubs by fitwheels.eu
Not received them yet but so far communication has been excellent!

Found the link through this forum for a chap called Lukasz

Any updates on this? Are the frames still due for 15th November?
Will the frame allow a 2.8 rear tyre?

Good effort!!!

What parts have you gone for??

Gloss on matte black please

Just bought the XT priority pack from bikester:

£546.29 delivered with a 10% code

Now for the long wait till January…..

Shame it’s all gone quiet… Would appreciate some updates on it

Hunt Enduro Wide or Halo Vortex??
I’m struggling to pick!

What was the total gbp price Inc. Delivery?

@brant noticed the tik tik has been put back to 30/11/19
Will this be the same for the Hello Dave?
Any update on design yet? Be interested to see the concept!

Mate of mine was hit by a car, broke most his ribs, both shoulders, plates in spine, open wounds, head injury (you name it!) this was only last year and thought he’d never ride again; police said he shouldn’t have survived…

Long story short, he’s already done more miles than me this year! Then again, I am a lazy sod!!

Appreciate your detailed overview and glad it concurs with my initial thoughts.
Think I will stick with the longer offset on this case.

Still interested to know if there is a ‘golden’ trail / flop ratio as I’ve struggled to understand whether less is more or vice versa.

Is there an ideal trail / flop target or is it the case of more of one and less of the other is better?

Nice one, doctahawk seems a comparable bike in respect to sizing but not much feedback as its only just come out.
Great choice in bike, looks quality!

Lezyne flow cage has been great!

So the general census suggests a longer fork for general UK trail riding which for me personally covers technical riding moreso over straight line speed so I’m guessing I’ve made the most compliant choice?
I’m looking to start the build as soon as I get the frame on 15th November so I’m buying parts now in readiness…
I’ve currently got the 150 lyrik ultimates (51mm), pacenti pdent bars with 20mm stem, hunt enduro wide wheels and Eagle gx groupset, will sort the rest out nearer the time but forks were my biggest concern due to the sheer cost.
Appreciate the answers and support!

Thanks, I’ve ordered a set of 51mm lyriks but it seems that shorter is the preffered route?
I was concerned that the short would make the the bike sluggish and cause too much trail (if that’s even a problem?)
I’ve got time to send back and opt for the shorter fork if this is deemed a better all rounder and would rather do it right the first time round!

Cheers, so given the geometry suggests the bike will favour stable over nimble, will a 51mm (longer) offset promote a more agile ride for twisty singletrack?
