Sure I have my list in excel. Forks are from Aliexpress (ofcourse), weighting 350g cut.
-
Surprisingly crisp. Downshifting needs a bit of more push than what I am used to with Sram brifters tho.
-
Finally built it up.
Rides like a solid piece a metal sheet, its been ages since I haven't ridden skinnies. But its also hella fast - and what a breeze to carry it up to the 4th floor. Speaking of which, final weight is 7165g with pedals, 6892 without them. Also Ritchey V4 pros are a piece of garbage (but a piece of light garbage, sadly). -
Got the wheelset. Ended with Hope Pro III rear and Circus Monkey front hubs laced into 38mm unknown cabrong rims. Weighting 1095 and 834 grams w/o skewers and Vittoria Corsa Cx 23 and 25's glued on. Paid 215 EUR.
For pedals, I found a pair of Ritchey V4 Pro's, 273g on the scale, for 21 EUR.
Should receive all the parts this weeks - except for the forks. -
Hey there,
I've spotted a carbon tubular wheelset for sale locally. First I though is a wh-7801 set, but hubs are different - rims seems to be a match tho. Any idea? The mixed (rim/hub) nipple position is rather interesting in the back. Also, 920g and 1160g with tubs and skewers.
Thanks in advance! -
Changes on the Rohloff build:
Ditched the dropper, did not use it at all. Swapped for an orient express carbon post.
Bought the Formula R0's. I did not know such stopping power existed.
Got the hubs serviced and the rear wheel rebuilt with the WTB rim and DT spokes.
Not much of a visual change, so no pics.Also stared a new project (...).
Kinda missing going fast, so started toying with the idea of a WW build. There is a listing of a Focus Izalco max built with Sram Red22, already below 7kg. I've estimated I could get it under 6kg with a full budget of 1700 EUR.
Luckily I realized I do not need such a bike, so bought a Viner Comp Line built mostly with 10s Dura Ace for a bargain (340 EUR, 8.9kg as pictured). Goals are sub 850 EUR for budget, and sub 7kg for build. Keyword are: Cane Creek eeBrakes, OrinetExpress carbon finishing kit, Sensah 1x grouppo. Some wheels I haven't fully figured out yet - there is a carbon tubular pair laced with hope hubs for 225 EUR, but tubs. -
As per title, selling a pair of Spyre-C FM cable disc brake pair. The brakes are located in Hungary, however I can arrange a London pickup thanks to a friend of mine.
w/o pads: 60 GBP
Got this one yesterday. WW build is nice and all, but aint really suitable for commuting (on awful roads).
