Total newb's IP-057 Build thread
« on: May 23, 2015, 12:52:00 PM »
So these build threads were absolutely huge when it came to me figuring out where to go with my bike. I figure if this thread helps even one person make a decision or get past a tricky spot, it'll be worth the effort. I'm sure once the ball gets rolling I will have some questions myself..
   Heres my build sheet so far. Let me know what you think!! Its hot in AZ so may as well build a bike

Frame: IP/CS 057
Fork: Manitou Marvel Expert, 100mm
Headset: Nico (or maybe Cane Creek)
Handlebar: 720mm Bontrager Racelite (had it laying around)
Stem: 65mm Raceface
Brakes: Shimano SLX. 160 front 180 rear
Derailleur: SRAM GX 1x11
Seatpost: Bontrager racelite (had it laying around)
Seat: Bontrager Evoke (laying around)
Bottom Bracket: SRAM GXP?? Not sure about this one
Crank: SRAM X1 11 speed
Cassette: SRAM XO1 loaner off of other bike
Pedals: Shimano XT
Wheels: Bontrager Rhythm Elite borrowed off of Trek Fuel
Tires: ??? We'll see how the mood strikes..
Chain: SRAM 11 speed
Chainring: Wolftooth 30T
Rear axle: Chiner brand, will order with bike

 So thats what I have so far. My plan is, for now, to swap the Bontrager Rhythm elites back and forth between my Fuel and the Chiner until I can muster up enough cash for a set of carbon wheels. Plus, doing this will save the the cost of buying another 11 speed cassette, and rotors. Let me know what you guy thinks or if I am missing anything!! Looking forward to this build

As for swapping wheels back and forth, it will get old fairly quickly, go ahead and start thinking about which carbon rims, spokes, hubs and tires you are going to want.  Or maybe you will win the next giveaway!

I would love to win those!! I know if will get old quick so this will just be a temporary fix. The wheels I want will run about 800'ish  so I will just need to save up a bit more for wheels, and figure another 250'ish for an 11 speed cassette to go with it. I'm guessing for where I ride the Chiner will get most of the action, so I won't be swapping all that frequently

You should consider swapping rotor sizes front to back.  180 Front 160 Rear.  The Front does most of the work, so should be the larger disc.

Thanks for catching that. It was a typo on my build sheet but knowing me I probably would have followed it when building the bike. Good catch and it's been fixed
