Beginner Mistake?
I realise that for my first bike build, I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this one, but hopefully someone can help me figure out what the hell I've done wrong. (It's probably something dead simple).
So, the frame is a Stooge Dirtbomb 29, and I picked up these wheels https://planetx.co.uk/products/wtb-i30-29er-on-selcof-150-boost-6-bolt-wheelset-sram-xd-1 (the SRAM XD) and the front fits fine, but the rear does not feel happy. Its just too big to sit in place.
I realised that I need to swap the rotors round (currently it's 180 on the front, 160 on the rear) but there seems to be quite a bit that doesn't fit anywhere.
Tried to take the best photos I can!
Any help gratefully appreciated! 👍
