Well I"m finally getting a 29er, its only taken 2 years, jeez. This is my first shot at building up a bike. I've got my 26FS stripped and I'm just waiting for my 21" Inbred 29er frame to arrive. Looks like I need a new FD and BB. I see the Inbred takes a 68mm BB, can someone recommend the correct spindle width? I'm currently using 3 year old LX cranks and would like to get an XT BB and possibly upgrade to XT cranks later.
Also, I know it is not ideal but I have to run my 105/Mavic CXP21 wheelset from my cross bike for awhile until I can get a dedicated 29er wheelset. Is there any big concerns with this. Is it possible to use some sort of spacer or washers to bring the spacing to 135 or is it OK to just squeeze the drop outs in a little.
This is a great forum. This new 29er and being my first build is bringing a whole new thrill to mountain biking. Kind of like back in '88 when I bought my first MTB a Rockhopper.
Thanks
