| Weight | 30 lb 2 oz (13664 g) | |
| Additional Info | All non-load-bearing bolts get replaced to alloy red ano cause I love the way Factory-level Moto stuff looks and I am a wannabe. I have zero bike excuses to be a chicken-shit. I built this with a budget (bike tech) but would build it exactly the same way on an unlimited budget except I would spring for the CC frame. Thanks to Allspeed Cyclery for letting me wrench just enough to (hopefully) be profitable and order all this sweet stuff! Weight is without pedals. | |

AMAZING BIKE!
I have a nomad 4 and want to run the float X2. What RWC needle bearing size and hardware do I need to mount it properly?

30mmx8mm...makes a HUGE difference since that link rotates so much.

Nice build man!
Hows the feeling on those EXO+ ? are they damped as the DD versions ?

I badly wish that I could answer that question right now but everything is iced up solid here right now. Based on the actual measured weights of the tires (980g for 2.5 DHF EXO+ and 920g for 2.4 DHR EXO+) I would guess they feel similar to a regular EXO although they might be more supple with the 120tpi casing. The nearly 1200g DD will probably still feel better for aggressive use.

EDIT: i see High Rollers don't yet come in EXO+ :/
