IP-057 Full Build - Need Advice

[turboenterprise]

I got New 2014 Reba RL 100mm with 15mm axle for $500.  This was tough to find with that 15mm axle.  You can get 9mm QR's for the low 4xx range but that 15mm axle apparently costs another 100 bucks +.

Good grab on the fork. You'll love the Reba. Checked out your build list, and looking forward to seeing complete build. So basically you dropped $3180 for a full carbon frame, bars, post, 30mm hookless rims, with XX1 drivetrain and XT brakes. That's cheap in the world of MTB folks.

Your build looks good, very similar to mine.  I spent a bit more, I think I am closer to $3400 for everything and it was worth every penny.  The closest big brand, like Fuji, with similar components would have been at least $2500 more.

Yep. Very nice build.

I gotta get me some of that XX1 goodness.

I am wondering if I had an oversight.  Will the Maxxis Ignitors work tubeless on a hookless rim?

[Carbon_Dude]

Should be no problem as long as you add some Stans or my preference these days, Orange Sealant.

Parts starting to arrive.  Is that valve stem not the right size?

[Carbon_Dude]

Seems like the valve stem should seat into the hole, have you tried using the nut on the other side to tighten it down, or twist the stem further into the hole?

[turboenterprise]

The valve stems are Stan's universal 35mm so I think they are too big.  I think I am going to use a bontrager strip but haven't figured out what size for the 30mm wide rims.  Doing some searching to see if its 406892   9.99   Rhythm Tubeless Rim Strip-Symmetric   29"   622 x 22   Black or 433383   9.99   XXX 29er Tubeless Rim Strip   29"   622 x 21   Black

I didn't bother with rim strips, although posters on MTBR are saying they like that setup. My tubeless setup is working great with just some Stans rim tape, cheaper and lighter too.

[turboenterprise]

What size valve stem did you use? Stans?

[Carbon_Dude]

What size valve stem did you use? Stans?

Yes, Stans valve stems.  Once I taped the rims, the valve stems seated fine, possibly the Orange Sealant helped seal around the stem.

Would like to get a little more info about the seat, if you don't mind?

How much did it cost?
Do you know the weight?
Any way we can get a close-up pic of the underside/rails?

Thanks! Comfort/ride report  would be appreciated when you get to that point, of course. I know, I know it's personal preference with saddles.. Would still appreciate your impressions.

To turboenterprise:
I looked at my wheels(built by lucky spoke of austin) and he taped the wheel and then screwed on the rubber nut/gasket(see picture).
