I pretty much finished my build!
Thinking about maybe a stealth dropper post, but otherwise good to go. It rides absolutely rapid!
I have five bikes, I'll post them once I get a hold of my girlfriend's camera. Two road bikes, a single speed, and two mountain bikes.
i want to buy new bike
I kept losing my chain, and I'm too fat and unfit to ride 1x10 so I've admitted defeat and put the front derailleur back on
Also my foray into the world of tubeless was short, irritating and wasted a lot of time. If you ride 26, don't bother you can't seem to get tyres for love nor money that work well tubeless

That's rough, I've heard 27 tubeless rides excellently. What went wrong with your wheels?
Schwalbe are the only make that seem to do 26" tubeless compatible tyres. Hope rims (fully taped mine up) are all tubeless ready so good to go right? Wrong. The bastard things just would not seat correctly, even with a compressor, the air just kept coming out through the sides rather than pushing the bead on. Tried every trick I could see on youtube to no avail. Sacked it in after a few hours of pissing around.
Not sure if this would help. When I set up tubeless I inflated the tyre onto the rim using an inner tube to get it seated properly, then carefully unseated one side of the tyre and removed the inner tube. Then you've obviously just got to reinstall the tubeless valve and put the other side of the tyre back on.
Made it seat easier for me.
Yeah I tried that too... the air just came out of the other side 😂
Thanks for the advice though, I'm sticking to good old trusty pinch flats for now!
