Do it!

Works perfectly. Thanks again.

And it's done. Everything is torqued upand the new wheels are done and sat up tubeless. Bit heavier than I had guessed, but who cares? If the tyres hold pressure overnight, I might sneak out early for a quick test ride before work.
Sorry for the shit pic...

He likes a good spacer stack though

3.5 meters long and 1 meter wide is the maximum. Wider if it's got more than two wheels. No bars wider than 70 cm.

It was 30 cm less than the max permitted lenght, but yeah that might have been a good idea

Just a few km. The cycling infrastructure in Copenhagen makes it less dodgy; wide cycle lanes, plenty of turning space and the cars and bikes are used to it.
We also have a trailer for the days when you really need to bring a lot of stuff along.

Wobbled a bit on my way to the job site today

@Hulsroy suggested one of those, but I'd have to use an undersized one as the pin holes are partly hidden by the BB cup. And it would probably still mark the cup.

There's no room for a pin spanner, unfortunately.
@Netakure and @TheShipwright Thanks for the suggestions. The BB tool sounds like the perfect solution.

Can anyone recommend me a tool for turning the EBB on my Arkose? Preferably something that works with the crankset in place. Been using two pin punches and turning then with an old VDE screwdriver. It works, but requires the crankarm to be off and marks the BB cup.

Built up my Arkose again. Now a partsbin SSCX.

9.48 kg now.

Still need to build a new front wheel, but it's rideable. Other little tweaks include de-logoing the stem, buy and mount some tubeless tyres and mount the SS 'hanger'.
Found out that brake discs can be bought too cheap, but they'll do for now...

How much is a complete 10s silver Rival group worth?

I have three trips to Sweden planned over the next few months, so you might actually spot the Hulsroy in the wild!

I thought the Arkose and the Pompetamine were heavy. Have a Create size 54 that I just took down and weighted. 4120 grams for the frameset including headset.

I love a good hub strip-down.

9.7 atm, I think :|

Congrats! Set the freedom countdown clock to 18 years ;)

8.6 kg as it stands now without discs, chain and saddle, but with a heavy front wheel and wired clinchers. 280 grams of discs, 195 g saddle and 250-300 g chain. Maybe 9.2 kg when it's done? Frame and fork is around 2.5 kg, so it was never going to be light.

.

Massive and yes. But I think it'll weigh less than 10% of me.

Formula SS disc hub, DT Comps and a Ryde Edge22 rim

The Giant now lives at my sisters and I've sold a Focus that was taking up space as well. The clearout is going quite well at the moment. As autumn has arrived it's time for my yearly 'I'll race some cx this year'-phase so I've begun building up my SS Arkose. I have some tubeless Edge22 rims somewhere and a SS disc hub. S900 cranks and Rival hydro brakes.
