Nice ! I understand, you can't have perfectly good parts just laying around. lol

Finished building up my 5010 - so far very stoked!
Have been mulling over parts for the past few months, took advantage of some great black friday deals.
Settled on a fairly burly build. Shock is likely the most under-gunned part of the build so we will see what happens.
Sitting at about 33lbs - very livable! Flow trail killer.
My Nomad is a 39lb tank so the energy the 5010 is bringing is a breath of fresh air Big Grin

Nice build! I found the stock Fox shock on my 5010 to easily become overwhelmed and spike on gnarly stuff at higher speeds. Was worth upgrading to a super deluxe ultimate - just got a megneg to hopefully improve it further as well (bit lighter off the top and more mid stroke support should be beneficial).

Hey fellow North Van local, haha. Nice build (and nice pair - having a big bike and a little bike is a lot of fun). You'll unlock a ton more performance with a slightly nicer rear shock on that 5010 though. The DPS isn't the best performer. You should take a look at a Super Deluxe or similar.

Megneg deluxe changed my 5010.

Also doing a DHX + Zeb on the 5010 over the winter for shits and gigs.

Here's my newly built Nomad. 2023 GX AXS coil spec, mostly stock except:
Wheels - Race Face Turbine
Brakes - Code RSC Rainbow
Drivetrain - Sram GX Transmission
Grips - OneUp Thick
Seatpost - SDG Tellis. Waiting for something better to come along.

Yes there's a lot of steerer above my stem, I'm currently experimenting with where I want it.

Thanks man! I agree with you on the shock, likely it will turn into a super deluxe ultimate.
That said, solid performance for the simplicity! Going to toss in a larger volume spacer for now and sort something else out next year.

What's wrong with the Tellis? I have em on all my bikes and they've been nothing but flawless and dependable.

How's the GX Transmission on your bike? I have an L Nomad and I couldn't make it work no matter what I tried (it skips the 3rd gear). Is it setup using key B, with a 118 links chain?

I think it’s 116 links (30t chainring). Shifts perfectly
