2 hours and 7 kettles of boiling water poured over the frame, I finally got this stupid cheap seatpost with it's crappy coating out and replaced with an decent Easton one.

So after promising myself i would never build a bike these turned up today. The photo really doesn't show just how bright this frame is. Couple more bits to get next week then its time to stick it all together.

Currently in the post to me is a Rockshox Lyrik Rc2L damper to replace whatever the heck is sitting in my forks at present ! this will give me low speed compression which i don't currently have and also some sort of floodgate control so i can lock it up for climbing when needed.

Thats my Birthday money spent.

pay day on Wednesday.... i can go shopping again for some UST tires

Fitted my new Easton stem and Bontrager XR4 tyre on the rear.

Next time I'll be more careful as I put it on the wrong way round and had already gunked and sealed it before I noticed!

So it turns out High Rollers are not really tubeless compatible, every time i wash the bike with a hose, they start to loose pressure !! got some new tires winging their way to me as i type, Hans Dampf 2.35's with a trailstar for the front and a Pacestar for the rear, these are tubeless ready so i ordered some more stans sealant as well......

just got to inflate the buggers......

Thought i had leaky valves / spokes / beads but it turns out after i wash it, i wash the plugs in the sidewalls that the sealant makes !! every time i go to get on the bike the damn tire is low and when i ride it goes down more !!! hence burping the tire off each time i ride enthusiastically !

At least you've solved the issue although i must say tubes are waterproof

Tubs all the way... it feels like 90% of the time if there is a puncture it's somebody running tubeless that end up needed a tube!
