1998 rockhopper build

[Peughop]

Would anybody know what rear derailleur hanger I need to suit this frame? It's an aluminium 1998 rockhopper

Some further development on the build. The drop bars look a little odd. Hopefully tyres balance it out.

Next up is the headset
V Brakes
Cabling
Seat
Bar tape to finish it off

Ok, I have now fitted the FSA headset and bars. Final items to go will be seat, v brakes, pedals and bar tape.

I also need to fit tyres and I would like to go tubeless, will it be possible on these narrow mavics I have?

34.9mm nukeproof seat post clamp is like a smidge to small. What size should I get for this. I was sure 34.9mm would do it.

Also, last major item I need to go IAH the build are v brakes. What is the best suggestion that will work with the sensah SRX pro levers? Are the ratios going to be ok? Thanks.

I thought I needed a 34.9mm one for my Stumpjumper (that's the seat tube size) picked a rather nice Hope one up but it didn't fit

So turns out you need a 36.4mm, this fitted just fine.

Bit of an update on the build. Have gone for a carbon fork and disc brake up front with a v brake at the back. I'm pretty close to finishing it just waiting on a few more bits to arrive.

Ok, so the build is very close to being complete. I'm just indexing the gears and bar tape is to go on.

There is an issue with the front wheel hub the wheel slightly pulls to the left towards the disc brake when braking. Suspect it is the wheel bearings. Will get this looked at by lbs next week. All in all I think it has turned out pretty well.

Shaping up nicely!
