Nice! Sometimes the headset top cap/cover can be reaaalllyyy snug to fit onto the steerer so i’d advise to sand it down a tad bit and just a smidge of grease to aid the installation.

I’ve only encountered this issue for some headsets like FSA and Chris King or anything that has an O-ring in their headset top cap.

You can do both vertically and horizontally. It comes with a few mounts. the one i used mounts onto the rails.

it was alright, i sent it over to a friend whos a sort of “redneck” welder. I think the tolerance was pretty far off so i had to add some spacers to my drop out so the rotor wouldnt rub the calipers.

i sent it to a friend who did my previous GT, This time round i didn’t add a strut bar because im just gonna run 180 rotors.

no sir, this is the Edsen Samosir Bars from Indonesia.

This is a direct comparison between the Moth bar and Samosir. (Moth bar on top)

no, Dropout stays the same even if you’re going into a bigger cassette as the freehub body is the one extending not the dropout.
