Crankset is probably this one:

I think you have to put on the dust cap before installing the adapter. The Hope GXP conversions I've seen so far all have the dust cap wedged in between the adapter and the bearing.

Just did the same. What an amazing journey! Funny how you can read some stories again and again and again without getting bored...

Awesome work!

I've got this one: https://www.bike24.com/p257300.html
Same shop as the wheelset from the first link you posted. ;-)

Is the bike finished yet? What colour did you go for in the end?

I bought this one some time ago:
https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/bottom-brackets/1105-threadless-68-mm-sealed-bearing-bottom-bracket-for-frames-with-damaged-threads/?sessionid=111517a1013be5ea45273b8d86c490359ebf0861

This is actually an Oxford threadless bb like the one you already have.
The 110mm is out of stock but maybe ask if they can get it for you.

Have to agree. Great color coordination.
You could remove the Novatec logos on the hubs with acetone... :-)

PM sent.

Looking for a black Sugino SG75/SSG144 chainring in 47/48/49T.
Also looking for an EAI Deluxe cog in 18/19T.
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies!

Thanks for sharing your method. You're right, it seems a little less complicated than dealing with the rubber band. But you still have to take multiple measurements and pulling the spokes together and taking an accurate measurement at the same time sounds a little tricky.

@mdcc_tester
Haven't thought or read about this method before! Thanks for sharing it. It sounds a lot easier and you only have to take one measurement per rim. I'll give both a try and see if there's any difference.

On the topic of ERD:
What is the best tool/way to measure it?
Right now I'm using two spokes cut to a specific length and joined together with an elastic band.
Pulling the spokes and the elastic band through the spoke holes multiple times per rim is kind of a pain though. If I use too much electric tape on the joint it doesn't fit through the spokes holes, not enough and it rips apart when pulling it through.

I've found a specific tool called "Rim Rods" made by Wheelsmith but it seems to be discontinued and only available from US online shops.
Are there any alternatives? Or does someone know where I can get the Rim Rods without ordering them from overseas?

Hi.
I'm looking for Gran Compe SF hubs, preferably a set with 24h front and rear.
Also interested in front or rear hub only. Silver or black.
Thanks

Saw this on IG recently:

Great idea! Subbed!

Great work! The crank/chainring combo looks really good.
Glad you went for the AARN.

I can recommend this one:

I'm a beginner myself and have successfully built a couple of sets with it.

What wheelset is that?
Are the Cinturatos 35c? How do you like them?
I've bought some in 35c but haven't tried them so far.

Don't really know why they shouldn't fit... The OD seems to be 5 mm so they should fit fine.
But getting the right ferrules made is a great solution!
Out of curiosity: What is so special about the Dura Ace housing? I see a lot of people raving about it.
Is it compressionless like the Jagwire KEB-SL or Capgo OL?

Jagwire POP?

Nice frame!
Michelin Pro 4 Endurance V2.
Maybe also "acetone" the seatpost?

As per title. Looking for a size XL. Any color.
Preferably in new/very good condition.
Thanks.

pm'd.
Still looking.

As per title please in any working condition.
Thanks.

Wheels Manufacturing make a GXP bb without an adapter.
Much neater solution than all of those adapter kits.
You can also change the bearings when they are worn out.
Also a lot cheaper than Chris King.
Bought one myself but the Sram bb is still running smooth after months of use (in grim conditions).
I just put some more grease into the bearings.
