<span style="line-height: 18.4px;">Here's my contribution, medium green Rootdown BA. Put together basically 15-20 minutes at a time while the little kiddies were either sleeping or occupied. I was able to move most of the stuff over from my v2 Rootdown--needed new headset and bb. Upgraded wheels while I was at it since I knew 27.5+ is what I want to stick with now. 150mm 29 Auron RC2 should give a slightly steeper than spec 65* HA</span>
I'm especially proud of the wheels which were a real pain in the ass, Roval Traverse Fatties 650b 142+ with no drive mechanism (that damned + actually worked out well with boost) which I had originally thought were based around 3 pawl drive, ended up being star ratchets. Got them all sorted with 3mm boost spacers on either side so no wheel re-dish needed. But I hope I never flat on the trails because those damned spacers will surely get lost, they were rather fidgety to get in. I could also run a normal 142 DT drive side end cap and skip the 3mm boost spacer on that side; I'd end up with boost 147 instead of 148, which isn't a huge deal IMO. Spaced the brake adapter out about 2mm from the frame.
Thinking of moving to the 10sp Sunrace 11-42 cassette from the current 11-40, and dropping down to a 26 or 28t granny mount NW ring from the current 30t which is a bit tall for some of my climbs. <span style="line-height: 18.4px;">If I ever move to 11sp 11-46, the 28t will give me all I need mathematically.</span> <span style="line-height: 1.15;">Not sure I have the clearance at the chainstay for a 26/28 granny though, even with the ~2mm offset RF or Absoluteblack offer.</span>
