Norco Sight A1 Build 3
Dropper slams perfectly so I can pinch it with my knees
i9 hubs looking pretty with TRP race rotors to prevent fading on steep skidders
Grip taped Eagle 90 shifter and polished clamps
Sprindex provides some tunability as well as progression for bigger hits
Crank brothers twin tool to have a tool on the bike at all times. Wanted to try one out.
The wheels coming together after I relaced them twice and still had my valve one spoke off. Was too focused on lining the hub logo up with the valve.

Additional Info
This was my “ok last build before I head to college” bike. So durability and reliability were key. I got it to a point where it was performant (and pretty) then tried to not touch much else, didn’t want to go far over what I sold my last bike for. It was hard to leave some parts alone because I tend to get a bit OCD as a mechanic. I built wheels because I tend to absolutely wreck them and needed something reliable. It’s a heavy build but I was dead set on a high pivot and keeping things durable for downhill so I’m willing to suffer a bit going up. Parts like the cockpit and cranks will be upgraded at a later date as they don’t fit me well.
