Colby,

The 48 chainline was developed for frames struggling to optimize for tire clearance, but we solved it without the need for a wider chainline, so it’s better to stick with the 45.5, especially if you’ll spend more time in your easier gears. A wider chainline will increase drivetrain noise / drag in the granny gear because your chain is going to be more “stretched” diagonally the wider you go, but it would still be functional and useable. So, there is no truly wrong answer, but 45.5 seems better.

Hi Daniel.

The Moots Mountaineer appears to be a suspension corrected MTB, so you would need something like a Salsa suspension corrected rigid fork for that. Their house brand Whiskey also makes a rigid MTB fork option.

Thanks,

Stephen

The non-drive-side number is the serial number. Should not start with CDS…

Yes, a Tubus Duo works well. You may need an Offset Eyelet Kit for it, but you could try without to start.

Hi Sam,

We can definitely build a bike that fits this description.

Up front we could use the following suspension forks:

• Fox 32
• Cane Creek
• MRP Baxter

To soften up the rear we would recommend the Cane Creek eeSilk suspension seatpost, as it offers incredible comfort and compliance without having to engineer a unique suspension design into the frameset itself. If you’d like to talk more please shoot us a call or text at 303-477-4136, or email us at bikes@rodeo-labs.com

Howdy! A 42t will work great and has been done many times.

Hi Sebastian. I checked with our lead mechanic. We haven’t fit a 240 OS to our fork, but we measured with calipers and it looks like it will fit. You will need the 15mm axle option so be sure to select that.

The length and thread pitch of our axles is laser-etched on all of our axles, except for very very old ones.

Here are some guidelines:

1. Front is 131mm long (127mm would do also), 18mm thread length. M12 x P 1.5
2. Rear is 172mm long (for Flaanimal and TD3), 16mm thread length, M12 X P 1.5
