On the topic of ERD:
What is the best tool/way to measure it?
Right now I'm using two spokes cut to a specific length and joined together with an elastic band.
Pulling the spokes and the elastic band through the spoke holes multiple times per rim is kind of a pain though. If I use too much electric tape on the joint it doesn't fit through the spokes holes, not enough and it rips apart when pulling it through.I've found a specific tool called "Rim Rods" made by Wheelsmith but it seems to be discontinued and only available from US online shops.
Are there any alternatives? Or does someone know where I can get the Rim Rods without ordering them from overseas? -
Hi.
I'm looking for Gran Compe SF hubs, preferably a set with 24h front and rear.
Also interested in front or rear hub only. Silver or black.
Thanks -

Great idea! Subbed!

Great work! The crank/chainring combo looks really good.
Glad you went for the AARN. -
I can recommend this one:

I'm a beginner myself and have successfully built a couple of sets with it. -
What wheelset is that?
Are the Cinturatos 35c? How do you like them?
I've bought some in 35c but haven't tried them so far. -
Don't really know why they shouldn't fit... The OD seems to be 5 mm so they should fit fine.
But getting the right ferrules made is a great solution!
Out of curiosity: What is so special about the Dura Ace housing? I see a lot of people raving about it.
Is it compressionless like the Jagwire KEB-SL or Capgo OL?
Thanks for the replies!

Thanks for sharing your method. You're right, it seems a little less complicated than dealing with the rubber band. But you still have to take multiple measurements and pulling the spokes together and taking an accurate measurement at the same time sounds a little tricky.

Haven't thought or read about this method before! Thanks for sharing it. It sounds a lot easier and you only have to take one measurement per rim. I'll give both a try and see if there's any difference.
