Let me throw my stem on when the bike is built and see how he fits. Looking at cassettes. XT 10spd shifter/rear D. There is a nice XT 11-36 with a One Up 40T range extender and 16t conversion on PinkBike for $50, or for $50 I can just get him a new SunRace 11-40T. Lightly used XT vs new Chinesium. Going to skip the full chinesium Boloney and other Aliexpress trash. What say you - new Sunrace or used moded XT??? Sorry, the cassette I had laying around was an 11spd. I'd say 11-40 Sunrace for the win. 1 hour ago, Teamsloan said: The Sunrace 11-40 is a good looking cassette. It seemed like a quality piece of kit when I installed it on my sons bike. The spacing between the gears seems nice and even instead of having a big jump when going up to the biggest cog. Pretty sick looking red carrier too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Used multiple sunrace 10 & 11spd cassette and have no complaints. Do recommend the MX or MZ series with the AL bodies.

The only downside I had to her building, is she got to pick the garage music and so there was a lot of Adele and kids bop🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally settled on some maxxis holy rollers. my 8 yo is using rocket rons. My 13 year old used them originally so they are lasting a long time.

Mattlikesbikes Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Dang this build is getting pricey. I had forgotten how all the little things add up. Thankfully lots of free parts and a handful of stuff from my parts bin. Pics next week when it all arrives. GT Scamp 24" disc frame Fox Float R 80mm XT 10spd (11-40) SR Suntour Zeron 152mm 30t Hope Tech EVO brakes 160/140 Carbon post/bars, generic stem, grips SDG Jr Saddle Wheels: Velocity Dyad rims, Sapim Race spokes, Novatec hubs (6 pawl), Probably Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR 2.4/2.3 KMC gold chain King headset (parts bin) Kid sure as hell better like it. Had to start ordering parts from my side account so the wife wouldn't get on me about the cost. Better sell some plasma.

I tried to go cheap and bought DMR V6 and they are complete crap and huge. I now am waiting for the SDG slater kid pedals to get here. Lesson learned!

Mattlikesbikes Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Stolen thermalite. The platform size only looked to be 5mm larger than kids branded pedals. From what I've read I expect to pull them apart and regrease them before use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4fun Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Those look to be a much better budget friendly option than the V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon says the V6 has a 4.3 rating and the Stolen has a 3.8, so who knows. I do know the reviews on the Stolen say rebuild/repack them before use. I'll pump them full of white lithium before we mount them. Last order, spokes, placed today. my bank card can take a holiday. Silly, but he is getting tubeless as valve stems were cheaper than 24x2.3 presta tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdog-1992 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I got some of these from REI when they had them. Not as cheap but not super expensive either if you get the molded pins. Boys like them so far as their feet stay on pedals much better than stock pedals on kids bikes. https://www.treefortbikes.com/iSSi-Thump-Pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is tubeless and I can’t wait to get my two younger ones tubeless, because I’m tired of patching slow leaks every two or three rides from small and sometimes large thorns. The primary place I take them for a quick after work rides is full of pointy things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyt Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I was using tubes to make life easier. Then my son's rear tire had a slow leak so I set it up tubeless. Ill do the same if the front ever flats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If it's not thorns eventually they'll start riding harder and you'll have tons of pinch flats to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanerpvt Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have used an injector to put Stans inside a tube on my kids bike. Not really sure how effective it is but don’t seem to get those slow leaks from thorns. Cheers, Shaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
