Hi, how tall are you?

I am 173cm and after a few rides I am confident that M and 45mm is right for me!

Cheap and light? Come on man you've got to provide links.

I payed 350€ for them on sale half a year ago. It’s non boost carbon wheel set that I drive with problem solvers adapters. Can’t find a link sorry.

Looks amazing! Wow, fantastic weight. Are you using carbon bars?

Thank you! Yes I’m using a New Ultimate carbon bar.

Just finished my build. Target weight was under 11kg and landed on 10,8 total with pedals.
I hope I can come out on a suspension tuning ride tomorrow. ;D

Got my frame yesterday unfortunately one shock bolt for the trunnion mount was missing. Does anybody know were I can find a suitable bolt..

Found this one but don’t know if it fits.

Here is a picture with a R535. I put a 14 mm nipple there for size comparison. I don't think that normal outer cables can be bent tight enough for that.
But there was a little 90° pipe with the shock. I could imagine  that, if you turn the shock around so the adjuster faces toward the seat tube, you could rout your cable below the shock's head and then make the turn up with that little pipe. Problem with that: how to reach the air valve in that position?

Are the R535 cable attached from the side or under?

Ohh that’s tight...

But I love the color on your frame!

Then I go for a M.. Thanks!
I probably go for SID dampers but DT 232 looks great are there anybody who has mounted a DT R232 and can answer if it’s fits with remote. Looks like the cable is pointing down and I’m worried that there is to little room for the cable routing.

What stem measure do you take on the trek?

I use a 80mm stem with 17* drop, no spacers and a flatbar.
