11.3kg with pedals and bottle cages. ~3700€ total build cost with Sid/Sidluxe Ultimate, XT M8100 everything and cheap Go-Zone wheels with Novatec Hubs

Finished building it up last week already and rode 120km on local trails. Initial impressions are very positive. Bike feels light, fast, pedals well and nothing creaks or rattles. Fills the gap between my gravel bike and a chunkier trail bike very well :)

Still waiting for frame plugs as a last finishing touch. Will get some more from Carbonda, the ones from AliExpress already arrived. Lets see which ones fit best.

Maybe too late now, but I would recommend using them. I did not use any on my FM936 and there is definitely some rattling. I did use them on my FM1001 and it is silent.

Not too late :D I installed dampers on all 3 housings yesterday, also for peace of mind. Was easier than I thought to get them on without pulling everything out again.

For the left side with two cables, I ordered this plug.

I cut it on one side and inserted it when the cables had already been laid. Holds up and looks good.

Thanks for the recommendation! I ordered the ones you mentioned and some others that look like they would fit. In the meantime I might file one of the spare plugs (no remote lockout needed) to fit in the exit.

On a related note, did anyone use internal cable housing dampers? I have none installed yet and nothing seems to rattle when I drop the bike but now would be the time I guess :)

I'm currently in the process of building mine up. So far so good but I have a small issue with cable routing. Not getting the cables in but using the frame plastic covers/grommets at the frame exits.

Is there any way of putting the plastic cover for single housing cables at the headset exit on the right / drive side? It came shipped with the dual housing one on the right hand side and a bigger single housing one on the left. I'd like to swap them for neater cockpit cable routing but I cant get the single one to fit on the right side, as if it was too big. The dual housing cover clips in properly on both sides.
