If building a hardtail wasn’t hard enough, Blake has decided to take on the challenge of building a full suspension MTB from scratch. This time around Blake has learnt from his mistakes and knows he’ll need a jig to make sure he doesn’t end up with a wonky bike! Re-using some parts from his old bikes and getting some help from experts in the field he hopes to build a ‘full-squish’ to top his last attempt at bike building.
