DA7600 - the high flange ones.
Incidentally, what is the benefit of low flange track hub, weight?

Plan on building myself a pair of track wheels in new year with some 36h Dura Ace track hubs - should I be looking to build them up as 3 or 4 cross?
Think that 4 cross looks better, which is about the limit of my wheel building knowledge, but is there any reason that 3 cross would be preferable on these hubs?

Sonderklasse are much more supple and are slick instead of file tread. Probably thinner rubber which might be an issue if using them outdoors.

Thanks Boredom, confirms what I thought after grabbing the tops of a set - that's possible to hold them near the clamp area but riding on the tops isn't hugely secure or even that comfortable. Usually stay in position once on the track though so not really an issue.
They're out of stock pretty much every atm but lets see what offers January brings

Bought a 2nd hand fork off eBay with a carbon steerer tube, with typical results.
There's an impression left from the stem clamp on the steerer, is it basically unsafe as I suspect? It's not just a visible mark but under the circular impression there's a tiny ridge that you can feel.

Looking for a pair of these in 33cm, ideally in the UD finish but interested in any if you have a pair going spare.

Thanks

I'm considering getting some narrow / aero bars for my track bike - looking at either the Scatto 35cm or Alpina 33cm. I can get the drops of either bar as low as I require so it's really down to the aero/width benefits of the two. I currently ride 36 on the track so going narrower shouldn't be too much issue.
I've spoken to a couple of people and am learning slightly towards the Scatto but does anyone here have experience of either or both? Interested to hear from anyone with any advice that would help me choose one over the other.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that one. Available from @cycleclinic too I believe.
Are there any others?

What are the choices for 32-36h tubular rims? Ambrosio Chrono & Nemisis, Araya Gold and Mavic Open Pro - are there any others?
I presume the Kysrium SL rims aren't publicly available?

Thanks Lukas, it's a nicer match than my 10k carbon weave Wing TT fork.
Unfortunately just missed @Corkscrew24's black Wing TT fork - which would have been nice for the TT setup.
If anyone has a spare one going, please let me know!

Liking the new wheels just fitted to my Dolan Pursuit Champ, here in track mode:

Ah right, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it.

Please could you explain why this might be an issue for use in a velodrome or in a fixed tt situation with P2M? Shouldn't the p2m auto zero only when there is 2secs of no power which is unlikely to happen on a fixed? thanks

I bought these carbon wheels off ebay with the hope of easily removing the logos from the rims, however it seems that they aren't simply vinyl decals that will peel off but are either printed on or perhaps applied using some other method.

Does any know of any way to remove them safely?

If it's not possible does anyone know where you can buy 'blank' wheel stickers?

So with the hill climb season now over for me attention can return to something a bit weightier...

It ain't no show pony but does ride nice even if it is twice the weight of my HC bike. Surprisingly spritely ride, springs up hills in time with standing on the pedals and the steering is quick even with a 10cm stem. Really enjoying it so far.

Had a puncture first time test riding 5 mins from home with the Corsa G+'s so swapped for some old Pavés - think the greenwalls actually go quite nicely with this frame.

The Sora 9sp front derailleur has a bit of rub at either extreme with the 105 chainset - Shimano doesn't list them as being compatible so not sure if much can be done other than adjusting as best as I can and living with it. BB flexes under pressure but it's more than that. Really impressed with R3000 in all other respects and can live with 9sp 12-25 up in the Peak District even with the extra weight.

Still to Kurust and touch up the paintwork but it has had an internal coat of frame protect so should be good for a while.

Full size frame pump next?

Let me rephrase.

Tester approved tool manufacturer that happens to include allen keys in their product range?

Tester approved Allen Keys?

Sorry, this has now sold.

Apologies for the spam but my 52cm Pre Cursa frameset just might be of interest to someone here -> https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/310415/

I'm up in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Collection is fine!

No word from @user74925 so still available.

Thanks for the tip, have ordered some Kurust for the spotting but will pop a torch down the tubes to see what's going on.

Have moved images over to imgur from google photos so this time they should be working.
