I am looking for some advice. I have a 2018 Capra cf pro race in liquid metal. It came with an xtr rear derailleur and ethirteen cassette. Thankfully swapped these out for an 11 speed gx, works a treat, I now wants lace the bottom bracket, crankset and chainring. Would like carbon and ideally nothing longer than a 170mm and 11 speed. Only problem is I’m having difficulty finding what I’m after? Am I looking for the wrong thing? The bike currently has the carbon trsr cranks and -8mm offset chainring with a bb92. What can you recommend? Would like sram if possible? Any links or recommendations for BB, cranksets or chainrings would be a big help, thanks.
Anyone try running 180 in the rear and 170 in the front of a 27.5 Capra? Thinking about putting a coil shock on, but it only comes in 250x75mm vs 250x70mm which I have on there now.

Some of the Capras come with a 250 x 75 shock and 180mm travel as standard so there is no issue. Then maybe invest in a new air shaft for the fork if you want more travel there too, air shafts are only cheap.
I was more concerned about how it would feel with 170/180 F/R, not so much the fit (which I had assumed would work as some come with the 75mm already, but thanks for the reassurance).
I doubt anyone could tell the difference between 170 and 180 at the back. You will definitely feel the difference between air and coil. Adding 5% of travel? Doubtful, in my opinion.

I have a Capra 29 that originally came 160/160. When I purchased a new shock a couple months ago I decided to up the travel to 170. It took a couple weeks for me to get around to increasing the fork travel to match — I couldn’t tell a difference at all. Increasing the stroke on the shock doesn’t change the geometry at all.

I'm doing the same on my capra 29 (the 29er is 160f/170r), works great with no issues

I’m admittedly on Jeffsy, but I run 150/160 F/R right now and I can’t feel anything untowards.
Anyone know the thread specs for these bolts? Seems like I lost one somehow.
I know they're 8mm x 30mm and 8mm x 40mm Maybe these would help? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/basic-thread-concepts

Ok, thanks. I'll make sure to bring it with me next time I go to the hardware store (or rather, the store for bolts/fasteners).
