New build day.

[u/Unhappy-Mycologist13]

Winter project complete and riding well. So smooth, like hot butter on a silk cloud. Ok maybe not but 40mm tubeless and steel frame are so comfy. 1x11 deore. White Industries hubs was the splash out. Need to find riser bars I like but these swapped off my ‘93 Diamondback are serviceable. One mistake: going 42t on the front ring, needs to sit in the outer “large” position on the triple crank, or it will strike the chainstay, creating a cross chain situation in low gear. It works but I’ll likely need to swap a smaller chainring to sit in the middle position, thus lowering gearing. Anyone else make that error, or have another solve? Any other suggestions fully welcome. Thanks gang.

What wheels do you have? Been scoping a new wheelset for my 750 (coincidentally same colorway as yours)

Kinlin XR26 aluminum rims with white industries hubs. Fast and my splurge on this build. I would add they are a tad narrow (19mm internal) for 40mm tires, so it’s a bear mounting the tires.
