This is excellent advice, or take it to a frame builder if you're really worried. Or if rides weirdly once you build it. Yank the fork out and have a very good look at the crown and above... see if the foot/front wheel clearance looks about as you remember it.

And of course the Powertap hubs "have to" be tangential on the apparently non drive side... .. the left side of the hub is driven by the torque tube straight off the freehub body.

Anyone built with Shimano's FH-RS770? Looks like the spoke holes are slotted down from the flange (for super bladed spokes?) and the spoke holes are uncomfortably sloppy (IMHO) for 2 mm spokes... thinking about using spoke washers.

How long are you here for? SH still looks OK?

thread dredge, but yes BikeCad is astonishing value..... around 300 Canadian Dollars for eternal support, or until the guy dies or something..... Really worth it for a builder or fitter to take the time to learn to use it, very useful to be able to "mess with " the dimensions and see what it does to the fit, also a great tool for explaining why some bike JUST WON'T fit some riders.....what I do is draw the rider's current set up onto a given bike, and show the 140mm 45' stem required to get the bars to the right position, or imaginary 45mm layback seatpost etc etc

ouch...glad you're ok.

Jolly disappointing.....big bang under hard braking, and then fatal scraping noises.....

If you are in the UK you are welcome to dig in our parts bins and also I'm happy to help with positioning...... surely there is enough forum love to cobble something together?

Gorgeous! Right up my alley!

I was looking for a 32- 40mm tyre for a customer in 650B and am distressed that Conti don't seem to be doing the 650B 5000 TL, which would probably be my go-to, in anything wider than 28mm..... anyone have a recco for this? Road riding only, tubeless, reasonably puncture resistant (customer has a particularly vile bit of (sharp) chip 'n seal close to home that eats tyres) and fast-ish and light-ish.

ah great pics!!! soooo jealous!

Lucky lucky lucky people, wish I could ride this.....

Surely they must..... but nothing showing yet. Sad face, as I love Shimano hubs. And pancetta.

Moar 7 day croissants. Skinny's secret diet.

gorgeous machine!

Riders will vary widely as to how sensitive they are to handling and weight distribution issues...... and of course it does depend somewhat on exactly what you are doing with the bike..... technical crits on a poor handling bike will not be much fun, and a bike which feels a bit of a handful (or front end shimmy!!) is hardly likely to give you the confidence to carve up a descent at speed!

Yeah I have velocity rims on my penny, so there must be some way of getting custom sizing.

Please please someone post pics!

Ah so sorry I didn't make it. Corinne is still in hospital (planned= hip replacement) and we had thought that I would be able to make it. Soz, very sad to have missed you all.

thanks!

OK so we got rid of about 1/4 of our "stuff" so we will be at another sale soon, and back in Bucks in April. Phew!

Lol! See some of you later!

Ah we are sticking to fitting only, no workshop work apart from the occasional new build.

perhaps one chain...

some odds and ends of NJS stuff...
