Does anyone have a reliable erd that they can share for the Kinlin XR-270 symmetric rim?

https://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?show=3641

Can you post a picture?

I had this previously with marathons and decided to keep going for thousands of km afterwards.

Impressive rear light!

Thanks for the swift answer. I’ll pass, I need 27.0 unfortunately.

Silver Thomson Elite 250mm (some pitting to finish from surface corrosion) - £10

What diameter is this? I’ll take it if it’s 27.0 please?

Thanks, that also makes sense.

Have ordered rim, spokes, nipples and tape. Hopefully it all works out.

Thanks that makes sense.

The information for both hub and rim in the above links are off slightly.
Putting the measurements from the hub, which I have, into mavic’s spoke length calculator I’m getting 285.43. Given the options of 284mm and 286mm am I best to round up or down?

Which will work out best here

It looks like 12mm nipples are about right for that rim. So I guess I’m looking for confirmation on 3x or 4x and spoke length?

Looks interesting!

Plastidip could be perfect, I’d almost want it to never touch the seat stay until it had already slipped. Working like a fall arrest. Thanks.

The light is something like 50g and the bracket will be about the same probably. I’m thinking it won’t swivel down if everything is nipped up nice and tight.

Failing that I would have a tab to wrap around the stay and prevent rotation. Things get complicated then. Is it going to mark the stay, etc.

Needs to be tested I guess.

After many cereal boxes I’ve got to a profile that I can cut in sheet stainless and bend to make a useful light bracket.

High enough to be above the mudguard.
Positioned so I can have the bike with or without the rear rack.
Low enough that my saddlebag won’t obscure it.
The part that the light mounts onto is perpendicular to the ground while the riser portion is at 73 degrees to the ground so it’s parallel to the seat-tube.

Mounting holes for 50mm top light, the one with the brake like function.

I’ve mulled over this for far too many minutes but this finally seems to tick all the boxes.

Am I missing anything?

@Tijmen PM some contact details. I can share a step.

Had this printed by @Stonehedge a while back. Thank you again if you happen to read this. It lifts the light up off the fork crown, uses the underside of a garmin mount.

It’s been there for a few thousand km, and has been superb. Wiring is still the temporary job I did the 1st day. I’ll get back to it.

What a lovely looking thing. Too small for me unfortunately.

Any chance you could help identify the spacer behind the axle in this picture.

Sorry for spamming your for sale thread.

I’ll pm you in a bit...

Go for it, I’m out as I can’t collect.

Hi,
I had to google those, yes they would suit nicely. Price?

Yes, interested. Have you a price in mind?
