What tooth chainring are you going to have/currently have? And I'm so glad you are lowering those forks. It doesn't affect me at all really. I just feel better knowing that they will be lower. What travel are they going to be at?
So far from a few hours riding this bike has far exceeded my expectations. Illbike class this as a dirt frame, but the geo is far from that. Spins like a dream and just feels great. Need to make a few changes like a thinner tyre due to clearance issues with the DTH and possibly a rigid fork because i've managed to blow my dj1 SPECS: Frame: ILLBIKE CANDY 26” Raw Fork: Modded Marzocchi DJ1 2008 (soon to be a rigid or franken fork if all works out) Bar: Mutant Small V3 Stem: United Stem Grips: ODI Longneck XL Brake: Hope Mini M4.

Also a shout out to Rob for his help with the build. Without his help this bike wouldn't have turned out as great as it did. Cheers man for being such an awesome friend

The chainring's been at 36t ever since a day after I took that photo.
I'm going to put them to 80 or 90mm. They're at 120mm now. I've always been wanting to lower them but I wanted to find stuff like seals and oil to rebuild the fork while I was at it, but my lazy ass never got around to doing that.
