Managed to crack on with the new build this evening, but found i had ordered the wrong type of mount front derailleur - oops! replacement ordered, just got brake hoses to shorten, tubeless tyre conversion to try and sag to set....

this was before i started...

Love that colour

Tease ! lets see this thing built rome went up faster !

Rome didn't have a missus


I'm on the damn phone....

Looking good, needs more rubber

Lolling good I recently brought those rims!

Looking good Jon!

Nice!!!!!

I've got a spare front mech in my office.. Top pull?

Maybe Jon is going for this look > http://www.essexhertsmtb.co.uk/mountain ... tml#p50244

Top top pull, 34.9mm xt one winging its way from crc as I type, cheers


I'm on the damn phone....

So the top pull arrived and went straight on, then things started to mess me about, stupid Zee rear derailleur came with no instructions, i was careful when i ordered to get the right one (freeride or downhill) and went with the free ride to cover my rear cassette range and the double up front but could i line the bugger up for the large cog? HELL NO ! and the front mech looks like it will hit the bash so will have to space that out slightly to allow it sit at the right height to the chainring.

Managed to get the 'good' tyres off the Alpine and put my older ones back on it so i still have a working bike but didn't even attempt the tubeless thing last night, want to get a track pump from some where to do it at hopme or it will have to wait till i'm down the workshop with the compressor (Friday)

Have you def got a 10 speed mech ?

Yup RD-M640 is the box that's ticked on the packaging (they come without instructions, found a 24 page document online from Shimano about fitting the bugger !!)

Surely its the usual, set the stops and then put the cable in ?

You'd think hey ? probably just me, it was getting late and i was getting the hump at not having enough space in the garage and a few other things on my mind, will have another look tonight whilst the missus is at the gym
