SRAM G2 ultimate. No opinion on them yet. One short ride on the bike. I should really take it down my street and bed them in. As far as mounting, I found the correct ispec to sram adaptor from wolf tooth, but that would have cost more and meant two items to return if it hadn’t put the shifter where I wanted.

Moving right along, albeit slowly (thanks Shimano). Got the derailleur and shifters squared away. I was hoping to have it all done last night, but Shimano went ahead and changed the pass-thru bolt for the brake lines (it's now a flanged M9). It was driving me crazy (and worrying me) why the original bolt was seemingly bottoming out. You'd think they would include this with the purchase of new shifters, but no. But at least they included new, readily available ferrules!!!
Went ahead and ordered a Wolf Tooth 42 for the crank (it's 110BCD 11s, but it should fit), because why not.
Camelbak came out with new 15oz bottles, so now I can add a small bottle to the seat tube mount. Love the look of them against the new-ish Lezyne cages. Overall it's coming along nicely.

Looks great.
Pulled off a smart trainer after collecting dust for past 3 years. Literally used that smart trainer once to see if it worked 😂
Thinking this will be my early dawn patrol gig if my knees hold up. They've been pretty good for about a year so testing this experiment out.

Let us know how it compares when you get a ride out
Finally cut the steer tube on the Occam.
Took off 15 mm.
Really like the trail one carbon bars.
35 rise on a trail bike is perfect.

Bunch of work lately and A LOT more to do!
Took delivery of this bike & put it together. Ti Lynskey GR300.
New power meter for an XC bike build I'm getting ready to do.
This bike had been hanging as a frame for the last year... Just rebuilt it & getting ready to sell it.

You haven't lived until you have one with the cables running through the stem and handlebars.

It's 100% easier to straight-shot it from exit to exit. Anytime you need to try to cram housing/hose in through the shell, there's an excellent chance to kink it to the point it won't work right.
Slide the foam on from the headtube.

Use of a vice without soft metal jaws protection should be a capital crime.

Foam ends somewhere mid frame, so can't start from the headtube. Is the foam attached to the chainstay on the inside where it exists. Or should it yank out?
The shock mounting hardware didn't touch the vise, the sockets that I don't care about did. I also obviously checked beforehand to make sure I could get a replacement set of mounting hardware overnighted just in case I fucked anything up.
