Rear wheel - White Industries ENO eccentric hub / Sapim DB Spokes on Mavic Open Pro rim, ENO 18t 1/8th Cog (= 73'' gear) RT Carbon disc covers - made for this wheel to go to the edge of the rim ** Note ** you cannot run a rear brake with these covers - though you can get them cut down by RT to clear the rim. ( or DIY if you have big scissors and a steady hand !) they are fitted as normal method by RT but with additional double sided tape between rim and cover to stop rattling - sounds like a true disc wheel at speed !

Location - between Brighton and Gatwick - can arrange delivery etc.
will be on here for a week or two - may later split or Ebay.
PM if you want it.

just finished this to clear out parts in the upgrade bin ! - rides well and nice and aero, but I like my TI bike better so may sell.

I did a home made version of the XT one using a Hope Pro 2 front hub and some spacers etc from Velo Solo and a 10mm axle. Drilled out the Hope QR end caps to 10mm and used some turned down cones to sit inside the end caps to limit the tension on the bearings from the axle when tightened on the drop outs. Worked really well

Just found this thread - thought i would add my TI fixie

Thanks - yes the custom spacer is a tight sliding fit on the Gusset ring, to get it all to line up - 7 pins in the drive flange and 6 holes in the ring + the freewheel can rotate with the Gusset spacer fixed to it - we had to find a spot where it all lined up - we used centre punch marks that line up to show the 'sweet spot'. the 7 pins were a tight fit in the custom ring (and loctited in) and were just a few thou' undersized to ensure they located in the flange easily. The 6 grub screws are just undersized for the holes in the Gusset ring but bottom out on the freewheel body. There is no discernible play in the system - it is locked up solid as the Gusset cassette lock ring pushes the whole lot onto the freewheel body and then the custom ring on to the hub face. I have had a couple of rides now and it works really well and the Shamal wheels are really fast.

i recommend Stacy in Clippers Sydney Street - been using for many years - he is a bit OCD and no hair is missed ! Gary is also good in there.

Having just driven into Brighton centre and back for a hair cut - i can advise that the 20mph limit is a totally pointless waste of money - the Brighton Town planners have already made it impossible to go that fast in Brighton with their policy of traffic lights, one way streets, closing 'rat runs' , bus lanes, lane restrictions etc etc !! The latest cock up is the loss of 2 lanes on the Lewes road from the bottom of Coldean Lane - so now the plan is complete - all the major arteries into the Town are restricted leading to lovely 2 mile queues into town on any busy period. In the body, restrictions in the main arteries lead to death ! ... But on the positive side, lots more fun filtering between the traffic and sprinting off the lights and if they set up a speed camera in a 20 mph zone we can all play 'set off the flash'' sprint competition. Happy riding all !

About time too ! - i managed to resist the temptation to ride the Hotta up there just to wind up Elvis again ! (now with Carbon wheels )

HI Rob
Chain Adjust - lift back wheel and spin cranks slowly - look at the chain there is always a tight spot due to tolerances etc. see where the chain is tightest by pushing down in the middle and feeling the tension (care ! don't get finger caught in the chain !) When u find the tightest spot, stop the wheel rotation and note the crank position. Now adjust the chain in this position (at it's tightest) - if you adjust it at a loose spot it will be too tight at the tight spot. Undo the wheel nuts, pull back the wheel centrally till the chain is tight - there should be a total of 1 inch movement possible if you try to move the centre of the chain up or down with your fingers. When happy with the amount of play in the chain, tighten wheel nuts. Spin the cranks and recheck the tension. Done !
ref Straps - i recommend you have some form of foot retension on a fixie !! i have used toe clips and straps which are fine, i have no knowledge on just straps as i only use SPDs.
pipecutter is better.
