So sick!!! I have the same exact bike so I can attest to how good that color looks in person.
And glad you’re back on the bike! Injuries suck.
Might I also suggest the Wolftooth B-Rad 2 hole. It’ll allow you to mount the water bottle a bit lower so you have more clearance between the bottle and the shock.
I stuck on some velcro in that spot from day one. You can also get rubber things that wrap around the hose to protect your frame from housing and hose rub. Not an affiliate link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CYN4VCJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
For the top shock eyelet, you will need the Fox shock m10x20mm mounting hardware.
The frame should come with everything you need for the lower eyelet. If you look at the bag that the flip chip came in there's a metal bushing that you have to use. That bushing goes in the lower shock eyelet.
Yep! I'd use Rock N Roll Grease Super Slick Lube, 4-Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DV9ZIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_6F8PP65VFXSJ2JHPGMX4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And a pump like PRO BIKE TOOL Shock Pump for Mountain, Road Bikes and Motorcycle – High Pressure 300 Psi for Front Fork and Rear Bicycle Suspension Air Shocks – Anti-Leak Valve – T-Handle Design – Industrial Gauge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R7CFGJT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_7GNDHVP8SVSRPB9BFFR8

And you will need adapter depending on fork like the Sea Sucker
Thanks! I have some heavy duty clear tape, I'll slap some back there.

I didn’t hear any squeaking, but I did hear some cable rattle. My Meta TR makes the exact same sound over chatter. I wouldn’t stress it. Try to minimize cable slack within the frame. If that fails, you could always try some housing foam like this. I bought that foam but I’ve just been too lazy to take the time to install it lol. The rattle really doesn’t bother me much. I only really notice it when I re-watch my GoPro footage.
The B-Rad mounts to the frame using the existing screws. Then you take the short screws that came in the B-Rad packaging and use those to mount the Fidlock to the B-Rad. If you have more questions let me know. I can even do a short video of it if you like.
Yeah, I live in San Diego California and we never get rain. Though it did just rain for the first time this winter. Now we can do some trail maintenance.
I like Five Ten and Ride Concept shoes. I don't know how well they dry though. You might want to look into shoe dryers.
