Re: Frame Advice You want 8x30mm (approximate; some tiny fraction of a mm over or under is usually compatible) Fox DU polymer bushings, if memory serves.

(Updated, original misquoted the size. I was probably thinking of the 1003’s yoke mount, since that’s my current project.)

Great advice mate really appreciate it. Would you say 170mm cranks? Hope your 1003 build is coming on well for you!

I’ve always just run 175s because I have a long stride and slightly long legs for being 6’ tall…one of the things I really like about the 1002 with 2.6 tires compared with my previous bikes is that the BB isn’t crazy low so pedal strikes aren’t quite so excessive that I’ve felt the need to get shorter cranks.

Could be a different story with 2.3-2.4.

I haven’t put the money together yet to order the actual 1003 frame, that probably won’t happen for a few more weeks. I learned with last winter’s 1002 build that rushing to get it started around New Year’s left me with a lot of time just staring at it longingly all spring…we have a nasty, lingering mud season here in Maine.

But hopefully that’s imminent once I sell a few of the many parts I’ve been hanging on to, and my 2020 GT Force Pro frame which should pretty easily pay for the 1003 frame all by itself.

Sorry I have been away. Thanks for your advice much appreciated.
Do you know the order of the drop in headset from Carbonda?
Especially the two thin steel rings. Thanks

They come between the dust seal(the cover just before the stem or spacers)
And the compression ring(the ring that sits on the top bearings)

Only needed if the dust seal is in contact with the frame when you tighten the headset.
