I have a NS Surge Evo frame on the way for my first bike build. The more I research, the less confident I become with being able to 1) source compatible parts, and 2) Put the damn thing together. I'm looking to build a fun all-arounder on 26 inch wheels. Something I can jump, hit trails, and ride around town.. jack of all trades type thing. Was hoping some of you with more experience could spot check the list of parts I'm currently looking at, and let me know of any red flags and/or make recommendations on alternatives.
* Frame - NS Surge Evo large - [https://www.lamacycles.com/en/ns-bi...ttps://www.lamacycles.com/en/ns-bikes/frames/dj-park-street/ns-surge-evo-frame)
* Drivetrain - SRAM gx eagle 1x12 10t-50t w/dub cranks, non-boost
* BB - SRAM BSA threaded 68/73
* Fork - Pike DJ 140mm
* Wheels - Looking for something complete, so far have found these two (Not sure either will actually work) -
1. [https://www.lamacycles.com/en/ns-bi....lamacycles.com/en/ns-bikes/wheels-wheelsets/wheelsets/ns-enigma-roll-wheelset) with the XD driver option
2. Spank spike 26" 32h, 142/135 spacing, with XD freehub
* Axles - No idea... don't understand the different standards and how they interface with dropouts/hubs
* Brakes - No idea, open to suggestions.
Since only the frame has been ordered, I'm open to all sorts of suggestions from a gear perspective, so long as it aligns with the intent of the build. I'm less concerned with handlebars, and droppers posts, as I've done that part before. I've heard that very short chain stays, as I understand this frame has, can cause issues with the Eagle drivetrain, not sure how accurate this is, but would love to know more.
Thanks!
