Looking for some help selecting my next hubs for the LB rims I'm getting for my Isen Audax bike. The front will be a SONdelux dyanmo

28H Centerlock, shimano 11sp freehub.

My short list is:

1. Hope RS4
   
2. DT Swiss 350
   
3. DT Swiss 240exp
   
4. White Industries CLD
   
   

For me I need the ability to convert the rear to 135 QR for the back of the Isen. Being able to replace DS spokes without a tool (i.e. able to take off the freehub).

Any thoughts / pros / cons?

Also looking for Dura Ace SL-7700 9 speed downtube shifters

pm incoming re: DA mech

I have some Sugino Super Maxy Cranks in this length with 50/34 chainrings.

Hi all,

Looking now for any of the following Dura Ace Downtube shifters:

1. SL-7700 9 speed
   
2. SL-7800 10 speed
   
3. SL-7900 10 speed

Photos.

So the photos above are the before photos.

Subsequently the frame has been away to have the following done by Andrew Armour in Edinburgh

1. Custom front rack which mounts to the front brake bosses
   
2. Fork Dropouts changed to SON SL connectorless ones
   
3. Rear Rene Herse Dynamo light braze on added with internal frame routing via the headtube for fully internal wiring
   
4. Pump Pegs added
   
5. Repaint and replica frame decals applied
   
   

I've changed the following

1. Modified a Lezyne pump with a spring so it works on the pump peg
   
2. Changed Cranks to 46/30 SunXCD model
   
3. New wheelset Pacenti Brevet with laser spokes. Rear hub is a Dura Ace 126 High Flange model and front is a SON SL delux
   
4. Grand Bois Stem, Rene Herse Decaleur and Gilles Berthoud Bag
   
5. Honjo smooth fenders
   
6. Polished up all the other original components.
   
7. Kuma rear backup battery light.
   
   

I still need to switch to the René Herse 28mm tyres. Sadly the 32mm ones wouldn’t fit due to the mounting location of the mudguards and the whee OD being too large. Same issue with 30mm Grand Bois Cypres.
I’m also considering the Grand Bois Centerpull brakes.

For a rim brake there is two points on the wheel where forces are being transmitted between the fork and wheel. The rim (via brake) and the hub (via spokes).

This is why disc brake forks require stronger forks as all the braking forces are via the bottom of the fork and forces transmitted to the tyre via the spokes....

or at least this is how I understand it.

Is this true with disc brakes with the majority of braking forces going through the front and its spokes?

edit. Saying that I have a cheapo set of wheels off of a specialised which are laced 2x/radial on the front, so only 14x spokes transmitting braking forces...

It came from my regional events delegate. He was encouraging us to get events registered before the BRM deadline at the end of the month.

Should work no problem.

Such a nice randonneuse.

Or as the Japanese say a ランドナー (randona)

Definitely inspired by the BQ style. I need to update my CP thread.

They're closed on all sides. Original Dia Compe ones from 80s.

It was in 2018 when there was officially no race.

It was the year it was cancelled after Mike's Death, but a lot of folks still road the route.

I'm personally looking forward to the somewhat festival atmosphere of LEL and full service controls.

I think riding it as a DIY should be okay, always worth checking with your DIY Rep. I know someone logged the IPWR in the year it was officially cancelled but loads of folks road it anyways

It probably is a more interesting ride. Annoyingly in Germany there are two audax clubs, only one is recognised by ACP and LRM. This ride isn't recognised by them for awards or indeed by Audax UK, which is a bit of unfortunate for people who care about such things.

I have a new in (slightly tatty) box cyclus one I could do for £40 posted.

Nominally any BRM 200 on 11 Sept will be a Centennial Ride and riders completing it are eligible for the medal.

Chris Crossland is the ACP rep and has put on the 200km ride from Halifax which has been named as so and will definitely have medals. The Edinburgh one is a bit more up in the air. Medals might be issued later.

Yep. It is the upside down Edelux II

Here are some more photos. SL connectorless hub and fork mod, through headtube cable routing for the rear light.

I'll be riding one from Edinburgh rather than the one in Halifax.

As a heads up there will be another cocky badge in June 2022 for the centenary for the first BRM 300. I'll be organising one of these up in Scotland too.

Already booked my accommodation for the start/finish :)
