Can't wait to get the shipping notification.  I just need a RD and shifter and I'm good to go.  I really wish that the GX Eagle shifters would come back in stock.

I’m considering them also. Which hub you went with ? I’m also considering light carbon option with dt350

This is the build that I ordered:
WM-i30AS
-series: Premium
-Version: AM
-finish: glossy
-weave -12k
-hub: DT-350 with 54T ratched upgrade
- spoke count 28/28H
-Spoke: Sapim CX-Ray

looked good on paper, I'll let you know how they roll.

My BTLOS wheelset should be here soon.  I'll throw them on my XC bike and see how they feel.  I have high hopes for them.

We hope that we will start to receive shipping notices soon. How soon?  We don't know.  Before the rear triangle issue, they were projecting shipments to start in mid June.  I think we're getting much closer to the finish line.  Time will tell.

I'm super psyched about this build.  I'm trying to be as patient as possible, but it's eating me up!  So, I ordered the rest of my parts and they will start getting here next week.   No idea when the frame will get here but this is what I'm doing so far:
Wheels - BLTOS i-30 carbon 28H with dt swiss 350's and upgraded 54T ratchet
Fork - Rockshox Pike Ultimate 150mm
Shock - Manitou McLeod
Brakes - XT M8000
Derailleur & Shifter - GX Eagle
Cassette - X01 Eagle
Cranks - GX carbon
Dropper - Oneup V2
Dropper lever - PNW Loam
Bar - Oneup Carbon
Stem - PNW Range
Saddle - Ergon SM Pro
Tires - Rekon front, Rekon Race back ( not positive about this yet)
Oneup EDC threadless carrier and V2 tool. 
What are you guys doing?

I was thinking about the oneup.  Not sure about the length though.  Might wait until the frame arrives before I order one.

Do you think the Sram Dub will be as good as the shimano? I'm probably buying the Sram GX Eagle Carbon crankset.

Hmm I think a mara pro would actually fit looking at this. Hopefully someone we’ll have his soon and can measure piggy back clearance with a super deluxe so I can know how much more room there is.

At least we know it’s 100% bb92. I’ll probably get a wheelsmfg BB then,

What do you think about this one then?  It sounds very promising:  https://www.competitivecyclist.com/wheels-mfg-bb86-92-shimano-bottom-bracket-with-abec-3-bearings-threaded?CMP_ID=PD_GOc014BR&CSPID=0916&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PSBR&k_clickid=_k_Cj0KCQjwzYGGBhCTARIsAHdMTQySZZSgs_lhYp9Lz6yVNi4YlJJhFLLl_34VpVij5XJPKDNqfFqL1lIaApkiEALw_wcB_k_&utm_id=go_cmp-1594365579_adg-58724162045_ad-442975611088_dsa-538846107067_dev-c_ext-_prd-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzYGGBhCTARIsAHdMTQySZZSgs_lhYp9Lz6yVNi4YlJJhFLLl_34VpVij5XJPKDNqfFqL1lIaApkiEALw_wcB

I'm not sure which i'd prefer more, lol.  Getting a tracking number and impatiently waiting for it to get here, or just one day a big box on the door step?

Nice find on the mcload ! Might snag one also the .

Can’t go wrong with the durolux imo. Had an aion before and was surprisingly good. On the mezzer, it’s really amazing but I don’t use half of the settings on it lol. Got it use for 800$ cad so can’t complain

Edit: wen with you hint on ebay for manitou shocks, sent 3 kinda low baller offer on a mara and 2 mara pro. We’ll see if one bites

Good luck with the bid!  I would like a mezzer too, but no one has them!

I'm planning my build right now and could use some ideas.  What are you guys planning to use?  I was thinking 150mm Pike Ultimate but don't know what rear shock to run.

Hi Everyone!  I just purchased a M last night and am stoked.  I have a question about how you guys plan on completing your build.  I see that someone above mentioned that they were going to use a 140mm fork.  The info at the beginning of the thread says that the fork travel size is 160.  Forgive me for not understanding correctly, but wouldn't you need a 160mm fork?  Or, does that mean something else?  Thanks!

Dan
