Update to the update. Workswell / Sobato was very quick to respond and they have been great to deal with. I should have a plus sized fork by the end of next week. I'm not sure when it will be rideable though. I currently have my 062 HT set up as a 27+ and I will keep it that way until I get some 29+ wheels for the new Chubby frame. I could steal parts off of that but I would then have to buy boost hub spacers as I do not have any boost wheels yet. And with the snow that we got, ski season is finally here.
So here is plan A:
Take the 062 and convert it to a rigid SS 29er. That should make it a sub 19 pound torture machine. Since I really do not feel like pulling out the brake hoses, I will leave the existing brakes on it and use the drivetrain for the Chubby bike. I will also be using some donated 710mm carbon bars and a Stylo GXP crank with a 32t ring. The wheels are DT Swiss with 18mm rims.
The Chubby bike will be built with the 10 speed Saint drivetrain with a XT 11-36 cassette. X0 carbon crank with a 32t direct mount ring. Easton Havoc 35 carbon bars cut to 760 and a 70mm stem. I just ordered the brakes for it from Merlincycles. M8000 XT brake set for $150 shipped. The only thing I do not have are the wheels. I plan on going with 29+ wheels as I want to roll over benefits on the east cost rocks and roots. I would love to do some Nextie / Hope wheels but I don't think the budget will allow for those anytime soon. So I will probably be on the look out for some slightly used wheels in the 40 to 50 mm size.
That's it for now. I will post up some pics when I get home. The wife dragged me to the mountain for some skiing this weekend.
