fantastic build @Phildas and a good break from this posh crux chat
is this the medium that was for sale on here ?

i have a couple of friends who are from there, they hate road riding now because roads are crazy busy in the dolomites and trafic has increased a lot in the pat years.

However i think it's probably very enjoyable :) the maratona roads seem fantastic.

a 3.5mm wide bearing ? mmm
this exists to fit 1 1/4 steerers in regular regular top bearing cups ( giant canyon etc. ), but are 4.5mm i think.

if you're going to not use the bike much ( sacrilege obv ), then spend loads on enve 1 1/4 forks :) and spend more loads on painting them

@mattyc has di2 derailleurs i think ?

yes, the headtube on that gen of super X is absolutely massive.
steerer looks too short for @yeahdext on those...

i love fork chat. the enves are sanded btw @PhilDAS! i trialed them on HDIJ

my hunch too, but now i am not so sure !

there are a number of 1 1/4 forks to chsoe from, a road one for starters ( synapse, caad, enve !, giant, etc. would be better suited to a caad track due to similar tyre clearance )

I would have thought the same. If the super x fprk is 1 1/4 then finding bearings should be no issue.
But it sounds like the super x forks are 1 1/2.
I will check my super x forks

what are the CTC measurements of the trek ?
edit, easily found online.

I think the synapse crown race is removable, judging from the pics, but i am not sure it clears 33mm as it comes from an older "sagan era" road synapse. if they do it would be tight and not suited to mud, imo.

sorry about the brake ! i need to get hold of it and will pM. I don't need gravel forks sadly.

one might be able to use a reducer to put 1 1/4 into a 1 1/2 headtube, i'll let @Engineering101 consider it first, those forks are light solid and cheap

Yes. Giant, cannondale, bmc are or were the prominent users of 1 1/4 tapered steerers.
I think giant have moved on since they increased the steerer to 1 1/4

She doesn't have 2500 quid. I do

Wouldn't a synapase would be 1 1/4 at the bottom ? Interested pending price

has anyone succesfully bought and ridden hylix disc forks ?

Give @broken_777 a shout

Good !

Into this idea.
I once bought an izalco max disc for a few hundred, sold it to a forumer who drove it into his garage door attached to the roof rack

depends what you are after for a disc bike ?
if weight savings are still the goal, there are less to chose from and i would second comment #48 and add giant tcr.
if not, any frame would do

i was only asking for a friend :)... like, really.

The solution found in the video seems like the best option for rigidifying the forks.
Otherwise it appears a new suspension unit needs to be ordered.

They belong in the non-ebay finds thread :)

Nice frame !
Pedals, wheels, gear cables, chainrings, bdhu :) Weigh is good

classy.
@greeno ?

Hey
I could be looking for a lockup, but unsure at this moment... what have you found ?

on another not i picked a cheap giant forks from an advanced tcr disc, the ones with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 steerer you hear of a frame without forks :)

isen workshop would have been an option :)
that mason Ti is probably ticks all boxes, but not economical ( plus their forks are pretty unremarkable on a bike of this price) .
If i needed a supercommuter/winter trainer type frame, not sure what' i'd do, maybe, i'd look at he best steel possible ? ( isen used 853 steel for instance ).
