What kind of 148 mm hub are you going to buy for the rear?
Not sure yet. Any suggestions? Maybe Chris King?
Is the fork 110 x 15?
Looks that way. I should have added some of the other options weren't thru axles.
Are you ordering light bicycle carbon rims direct from China? 27.5 x 40mm internal?
I'd get the wheels pre-made. I need to start looking around at the options. I wanted to try Santa Cruz wheels, but
they don't yet make them for the plus size. If they do, that might be an option. They are assembled in town -- I went and watched, and was impressed.
What kind of drop bars, dirt drops, with flared ends?
I ride the hoods a lot, so I am worried about having flared ends, but I also see the attraction.
Sorry to be so indecisive. Maybe I could start spin-off threads on each of these topics and we can all argue about whether the parts endorse the behavior of various war criminals, Donald Trump's mating behavior, or climate change.
