I pretty much stopped right now. I don’t have the patience to lace the wheels. I think I’m going to either pay someone to do it or buy another set that’s already put together. Everything else is done. I think I may also send the Fox X2 to Fox for service. I think I have air in the reservoir. It winter here so I’m not really riding right now. I’ll wait till after the holidays to make a decision on the wheels.

« on: November 07, 2023, 12:51:25 PM »I would HIGHLY recommend this book on wheel building. For the tiny investment it is worth it: https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php
I printed the lacing / build procedure chapter years ago and use it was a step-by-step guide so I get everything right whenever I build a wheel. I have built dozens of wheels, and still find this really helpful. Last used a week ago when building new wheels for my Miracle FS822 build (240 front / XTR rear on Dartmoor Tomcat with Sapim Lasers and alloy nipples) - and I'm very happy with my work!
Same hereJust get the book. Worth every cent.
Thanks my guy, buying now!

First time lacing a wheel. Man, this is a pita! You really need to be perfect with the amount of turns you make all around. Gunna take the first one apart and do over, tension is all over the place. I gotta say though it’s really nice having the Park Tools to do it.

« on: October 03, 2023, 05:49:28 PM »I love the Ryet 3D saddle. i have it on my XC bike and it is really comfortable.
I have a bony butt lol prob. why it’s uncomfortable for me. Do you wear a chamois when you ride? I didn’t try it with a chamois yet.

Got some more stuff I forgot to post the past few weeks. Tubolight wheel inserts, Tubolight valves, Stans tire sealant, Shimano brake oil, Shimano brake fittings, Secret Chain wax, Sram foam grips, RYET 3D carbon Aircode saddle.
Had high hopes for the saddle but just isn't for me. It's nice and cushy but hurst my butt only after riding half a street block. Looks like for now I'm sticking with the Avocet O2 Air 40R I've had for almost 20 years.

Finished polishing, now on to installing paint protection film. Tracing out templates, cutting, then installing.

Been polishing a bit after work each night. After this I’ll be installing Xpel Ultimate Plus 7.
