japjoe7:
First dual suspension bike. Been riding a hardtail for many years. Can't afford to throw down $4k-$6k in one shot so I'm leveraging AliExpress and using used parts. It's still expensive of course but a least I can build it up over the next 6 months. Here is my list of components so far. and attached Excel spreadsheet with cost. The build will be a little dynamic in that I will change some conponents choices depending on how I'm feeling and research. I still have a bunch of stuff to add to my list.

Btw, I'm from Pennsylvania in the US.

While I'm waiting on a bunch of stuff to be delivered from AliExpress. Food for thought. I'm using ZTTO M1 hubs(DT Swiss 180), RYET 28 hole rims, Pillar straight spokes in a 3 cross pattern. This'll be interesting. DT Swiss calulator says I can do 3 cross this way. I bought the spokes based on this calulation. Thoughts?

Brilliant - I am thinking about moving across to this frame - currently riding a Polygon Siskiu t7 that I have upgraded just about all components of, so I would be doing a frame swap.

What brakes are you going with?

Are all prices in USD?

Oh yeah, I missed the brakes in there haha. They are Shimano M8100 with resin pads from Ali. Added to the list above. Yes, in USD. Also, fixed the PDF price sheet.

With straight pull spokes, the cross pattern is determined by the drilling angle on the hub. My 28 hole hubs were 3 cross so I suspect that is correct for you as well, but it would be a good diea to verify before starting to lace the wheel. Just stick a few spokes through the holes and see how many crossings you end up with.
