Mmm they do look good, and £104! Bargainous! I see these ones (http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=2&c=43&p=196&) are 445mm too.

I'm just thinking along the lines of clearance now. Dron, is your unit, a couple of pages back, running a 445mm fork?

440mm plenty of clearance still. with 2.35 slicks. some big knobbly ones might be pushing it.

you can run it backwards for a super stable long trail set up.

super motos are ace. really light for their size. and roll smooth like butter.
i run them with puncture protection bands on my 29er and have yet to have a flat.

It is indeed 445mm, that's annoying I was under the impression Niner had options on axle to crown length. Hmmm, back to the drawing board!

anything wrong with the on-one? it's cheap and pretty (imo) and 450mm

So it looks like their implying the rims will be able to take at least 50psi. Are you going to want any more than 60psi on 32mm tyres?

If you search on line there's a calculator for working out your ideal tyre pressure based on your weight and tyre combo.

I'm just a bit unsure that I can extend the chart below min tyre width.
but I guess it would go something like this:

TYRE PRESSURES:
Tire Diameter: 1.75’’ to 2.35’’

1.25/1.5 (38psi - 65)
1.5/1.75 (35psi - 56)
1.75/1.8: 2.2 bar - 3.5 bar (32psi - 50psi)
2.0/2.1: 2.0 bar - 3.2 bar (29PSI - 45psi)
2.25/2.35: 1.8 bar - 2.9 bar (26psi - 42psi)

the ztr people said that when used with road clincher max inflated should be as advised on the tyres

but these are not ztr and at 355g might be a bit more fragile.

The last question is still: will I die if I try this?

I believe this will go here no doubt. And I posted it first!

too soon, maybe?

horrific

I was just about to build up a pair of wheels with these rims: http://bor-germany.de/en/product/46-bor-333xmd-29er-355-g
but reading this thread made me nerveous about the pressure limits.
I plan to use these mostly on road with 30c-32c tyres, what pressure should I aim for? Do you think the rims will hold up for it?

Ha! Using my mom's iPad. Not used to this aggressive auto correct.

Amy renson not to use one of those really light trials hubs on the front of a disc crosser? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/front_disc_hubs/because_disc/c20p11189.html
How abolut the matching rear with a screw on freewheel?

a lower bottom stack would be nice. but I've just read that they are supposed to have more drag and act like a steering damper to prevent speed woble, I'm not sure that's what I need.

What exactly are the benefits from needle bearing headsets?

that dropping seat post is so cool.

anyone?
I think any old 8speed campa ring will do.

I think the stress analysis paintwork idea is pretty cool. the execution above could be better though.

that's some nice masking work there

bought really spontaneous a brand new and cheap wheel set

what did you get then?

As the title states.
I need one chain ring 135bcd 3/32" with. and somewhere between 47 and 50 teeth. preferrably 48t.
I want one without any pins or ramps and with symetrical teeth.
I live in copenhagen so will need it posted.
Thank you very much

I can modify the sprockets myself, but making a top hat sprocket require pro milling.

next year will be a very good year

v-levers and mtb caliber all the way. bb7

Your current design has the potential to trap water between the adapter and the hexalobal bit of the hub, so I'm not sure you're worse off with a top hat.

I did consider drilling 6 holes in one of these:
but the offset is 10mm and the top hat crown is not wide enough to go over the hub lobes.
the current design allow me to change the cog with less work than having to machine a new cog each time. and it allows for fine tuning the chain line in both directions with thin washers where the top hat would only go outwards.
I haven't thought about trapping mud, tho.

I've gotten in contact with someone who knows someone who will cnc mill it for me. I will modify a ss freehub sprocket as they are cheaper than velosolo and I can't use the original holes. the big problem is that I don't think i can go lower than 18t.

oh. and this for you chris borneo.
I'm going to use an ultra torque chainset on a pomp with a slightly modified bolt on cog mounted to an adaptor that will take the chain line inboards from 52mm to 46mm

regarding disc brakes. I'd go for the mtb version with cc or tektro levers for drops and loads of options for flats/risers. I think the longer cable travel from the same lever movement is great for control and power.
