I'm doing my first bike build on a carbon fat bike (frame from Velocarbon off ebay). It's a 19" frame and I ordered the carbon wheelset too (also from Velocarbon)- I wouldn't recommend ordering from them, FYI. You can get the same stuff and slightly cheaper from Ican. Also, I already got a 120 mm Rockshox Bluto- super excited!
I just need help choosing some components. I can't decide how high end to go considering I'm a 205lb. rider and paying a lot of money for a few grams may miss the forest for the trees.
The bottom braket is BB30 and the rear spacing is 190mm.
Sillly question- but I haven't seen a crankset with BB from Shimano that would fit a BB30? Is that correct? Most I see are BB70. Is there a way to convert it? Any thoughts on using Shimano, Race Face or SRAM?
I see plenty of SRAM and some RaceFace BB30 out there.
I was looking at doing a 1X11 set up, but not sure if the price point over doing a 1X10 is worth the money. Any suggestions on that?
I'm thinking of using the Specialized Ground Controls for my tires- but not sure if I should try to go tubeless or not- any thoughts?
Lastly, any thoughts on doing a groupset deal or is it better to purchase things individually?
Any comments and links are appreciated gents- thanks for the great forum and comments.
