Thanks for the feedback.
I might have to go with those tires despite the lack of "robustness".
Or maybe one of the Gravelkings, this years limited edition color (Astral Blue) looks very similar. :-)

They look good and fit the bike perfectly! ;-)

Only thing I'm not sure about is the backsweep spec given on the freshtripe page.
I have a couple of sweepy bars around and those Nitto ones look to be a lot more than 15 degree.
Nitto themselves don't give a backsweep spec, neither do Blue Lug or other shops.

Air conditioning.

*ahem

Sorry... got a little confused there.

That's a stock paintjob. The color is called "Wonderland Blue". ;-)

Great story and bikes!
Richard Hallet seems to be a very nice guy. ;-)

Such nice looking cranks, look as if they would suit a Stridsland chainring perfectly

FTFY

never slept in the seat, I think my riding was too gnarly

I love the look of those tires! :-)

What's your take on them? Do you like them?
How durable/puncture prone have they been?
I couldn't find a lot of (any) info/real world experience about them.

PS: bike looks really good also!

Disc brakes on that frame would be sick!
And please keep the lovely PMP headset!

Loved the video!
Your channel seems to be off to a good start. Already over 100 subs.
Only bit of constructive criticism: I feel like the music is a little too loud/distracting at times.

The video has kind of a Brian Chapman "vibe" and helps fill the void that's left after Paul Brodie stopped making videos.
Watching him make stuff was informative/interesting/exciting/relaxing/therapeutic all at the same time. I really wish him all the best and hope that he heals up soon.

Can't wait for your next video! ;-)

;-)

I have 175mm too but they are upsetting my pelvis

Drill again at a very slight angle? Of course only if there's enough material left.

Both are stunning bikes!
I really wish SRAM brought back silver cranksets...

What about a wide foot sprocket? Should in theory prevent the sprocket from digging into the softer spline...

There's a 135 mm option from Mack.

Disc mount on both sides, maybe he'll make some custom end caps to make it compatible with the 142 mm spacing you need.

Edit: Forgot about this one:

Don't know if that's really a thing or not though...
Think they've pushed out the delivery date since the last time I visited the website.

I'd also advise against getting the DMR V6 plastic pedals.
I had two pairs, both of them developed play within a year.
They run on bushings, no bearings, and you can't adjust them.
They are basically a "single-use" throw away item. :-(

I'd buy from a manufacturer that offers a service kit so that you can fix the pedals once the bearings/bushings are shot.

Race Face (Chester), HT (various Nano models), Deity (Deftrap) all do pink pedals and also offer rebuild kits.
At the moment I'm using the One Up Composite pedals that @JonasGeitus mentioned earlier.
I really like them. They don't come in pink though, only purple ...

Thanks both.
I'm using compressionless housing as well.
Tried organic and sintered Avid pads, right now on organic Trickstuff ones.
Next stop will be SwissStop. Braking is/was good with all of the above.
Just trying to find the ones with the least amount of noise.

Edit: Sorry for derailing the thread. :-)

How do you set up your BB7 brakes?
I've always used these instructions that differ a little from the way SRAM wants you to set up the brake:

There's a few:

Alugear

Garbaruk
https://www.garbaruk.com/130-bcd-5-bolt-round.html

Amber (possibly fake Garbaruk)
https://amber-bikes.com/chainrings/130-bcd-5-bolt

J&L

So they did think about this possible issue, added the threads to the inside of the pivot but then didn't include the bolt?

Like: "Let's see if it really becomes a problem first and then do something about it."
