lol. Once you tweak your back. Your days are numbered. lol.I still don't understand what that device is used for
After having issues and issues with AXS components, went to my local bike shop to get a full X01 mechanical drivetrain installed.
Shop did XX1 cassette & chain for the same price which was pretty nice.
Only took a picture of the cassette.

Glad you've got a photo to remind you what it looks like new, because the cassette won't look like that after 50 miles!!

What's with the Trippy Colours then ??
Had to warranty a Reverb AXS two times and GX AXS two times also. Reverb is just a mess own it's on own by design and GX AXS had the parallelogram come loose (bushing play) causing poor shifting or ghost shifts. Their warranty is pretty good however as they send new components in retail boxes most of the time.
Almost switched to T-Type, but went back to cable instead for peace of mind and reliability.

New brake day!! Yey! After getting rear through it wasn't long enough as they are used brakes but very little, so new house required, all done though and routed rear hose through R/H side of frame instead of left which it comes stock, that bit took the longest to do. All bled and new rotors, had a few blasts down the road to bed in a bit but needs more. Already feels 10 times better than the code R's, should have more confidence in them.
220's on the front, 203 rear
Oh and a little something installed in here to make use of the increased braking perf.

Broke a spoke, bought a new wheel!
To be fair, I have been snapping spokes within the nipple all year long on my EX1700's. It has been driving me nuts as you have to replace the tubeless flap each time. The shop told me my rim was pretty tired so most likely the spokes can't be tensioned evenly while having the wheel true. Might try moving the hub over to a carbon rim I have in the shed.
Trying my luck with NewMen EG 30s, serious bargain at €270. Surprised how hard it is to find 32 spoke wheels, nothing from DT/Hunt/Newmen which seem to be the top-recommended ones.

Pads look right on the edge of the disc on the front (compared to the rear), not overhanging a little are they? Just thought I'd point it out. I'm sure it's fine, just looks like a lot of untouched disc area.

There hard to see but on fronts they are about 2mm to inside of caliper front and back, will check again in some daylight as they were done in the garage at night. Our dark UK evenings do nothing for installing and testing new gear, PITA, roll on spring
Edit: does it look like the right adapter for a 220 rotor?? Never done much with brakes other than bleeding.
And the wrenches are for to adjust the ankles?

Chain lookin good ! Waxed ?
Not waxed, I use Finish Line Ceramic/dry lube - seems to work fine around here

Finish Line's Ceramic Wax lube is an advanced, wax based bicycle chain lubricant that ensures total drivetrain cleanliness without the distance compromise that other wax lubricants

Did you buy them online, what was the returns process? How did you prove this was just incorrect B tension etc?

Clearly works well whatever. I use a similar product in our dry dusty conditions ! You in SoCal or what?

Either that’s a 55 gal drum or that stuff’s really expensive.
No wax, just „wax like“ - Website Finish Line
I use the wet ceramic stuff of finish line and it works good. For the eMTB I use F100 chain oil - experience with their products for cars and motos was always well.
Well after I reached out to Hope with regards to the brake calliper adapter, they advised me to get this one, I’ll have to wait until my eye has recovered before I attempt to fit, I can’t see shit at the moment, it’s taken long enough to type this and several attempts at photographing it
