So Gents,
Here is the final version Smile .
Since I built a park bike, I don't need to compromise anymore. You know number of bikes in the family is always N+1. Was thinking of selling it and get a spectral but then I have converted it to a long legged trail, adventure, long ride moocher. Local trail centres are smooth, flowy with loads of jumps.
Running it in XC mode, even removed SS actuator, put some bands in the shock and running 30% sag. Cut the bar to 760 from 800 and lowered it a tad.
Absolutely blast to ride, gives me smile every time I jump on it.
Can do 50+km XC ride on it with no problem.

If some of you thinking of getting one of these, I can just recommend. I love mine.

What width are those rims and tires? I'm looking forward some 35mm with maybe schwalbe Magic Mary.
Thanks Wink

Any one got any idea on how to remove the bearings from the back of the chainstay?
I do not have a bearing removal tool but I am capable to use a socket set.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gabriel,
Rims are LB 35s, 30mm inner width, tires are 2.3.
Plenty enough what I am using for.
Love Magic Marys, grip monsters, but not a real friend for pedalling Smile

More importantly how do you remove item number 17 shown on exploded drawings?

Hammer and a drift for both of them. On the chain stay, you have to knock one out then there is a notch to help you get the other side out.

On the frame, the spacer tube between the bearings has a cut out that you can get the drift in to bash it out.

Took the strive to Hamsterely descent downhill today
Woah did it take it all in its stride and more, massive drops, rock gardens didn't miss a beat
Didn't feel out of place with the big 200mm crew what an absolute beast of a bike

Some of these. There may or may not be a better way, but you can't get a puller in behind as the sleeve basically stops the inners of the bearings collapsing in.

Thanks Jake, got the two frame ones out but still struggling with the chainstay ones. Which one should I try get out first. the ones closest to the wheel or the outside ones.

I'm 172cm tall and running strive cf 8.0 m size and fits perfectly, for your frame size i suggest to use 35mm stem (not much different tho from 40mm to 35mm), is there any shortest than 35? im not sure. and you can try 760mm handlebar length instead of 780mm
