are you planning on running the full 10 speed on your meta 4x build?
Ive got a sram x9 in the shed going on mine for now,also got part of a cassette but can't remember what it was off or how many speed it is I've basically got 5 cogs ranging from 12-23 was thinking of running this with some single speed spacers and altering the high lows to suit?

friend of mine is going from x9 to x0 so I'm getting a good deal on the x9 stuff tup and yeah, I've got a full 11-36t cassette to go on as it'll be an do-all bike.

Frame has just been shipped today. Unfortunately I've sent it to my parents rather than my flat so I'll have to wait a bit. My parts are in the post, still in Germany though.

mines just shown up at parcel force national hub so hopefully will get it tomorrowBeer
I ordered the headset you found but a different bb as I'm sticking a truvativ in it for now
are you going to run a chain device? I've got a narrow wide ring coming but the x9 I have doesn't have a clutch so think I'll need one

I have an old superstar plasma guide and a home made one I can swap between, Might chop off the lower part of the plasma though as I don't run the lower half

I've never had any chain drop issues with just a top guide on my trail bike, and that thing gets hammered at 4X tracks a lot

I got a polygon trid frame a couple months ago, I built it up with the parts from my old bike but I am getting parts for a custom build.
This is what I am thinking:
Loaded AMX rims laced to DTswiss 350 hubs for the wheels
Chromag Overture saddle
Deity CZ38 handlebars
Thomson Elite X4 stem 50mm
Profile Race cranks
Profile Wake sprocket 30 tooth
Deity Compound pedals
I already have the handlebars, stem, pedals, and a 2013 Marzocchi DJ1 fork that works well.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Get Derby or LB rims instead of Loaded.
