And let's face it, any bike with deep section carbon rims, aero BB shell and Conti GP4000s deserves better than FSA Veros.
-
Hang on a min - Veros are supposed to have the chainring on the outside, not the inside.
-
Miche generally do anything they can think of to make life difficult IME. Campag FTW.
-
Want something italian to match the taper on the BB properly - recommendations?
Campag? Miche?
-
They are Veros not Zeros. That shouldn't happen. Warranty claim if they are less than 12 months old. Wouldn't get too excited about compensation for chainring or frame damage. Thank fuck it isn't in the rider down section!
-
Holy crap. This is going to be amazeballs.
-
Guess it depends how much you like your road bike and what the weather is like in the run up.
-
I'd have a go if someone has a CX bike going spare?
-
Nice work. Nothing more satisfying than finally overcoming something that you were thinking might involve a trip to the LBS with some cash.
-
No reason why you shouldn't file them off, other than making your bike non UCI legal.
-
Get a big sod off hammer on it. Wrap the down tube in socks or something first unless you are a super accurate hammer swinger.
-
I think plain gauge are less "stretchy" meaning better power transfer and less lateral flex of the rear wheel under power.
-
Sounds like it's going to be a good one! Sally and I will be up with a small yapper type dog.
-
H Plus Archetypes are a similar price to open pros and probably what I would go for.
-
Get brass nipples not fancy red alloy ones. Far more reliable, especially if you are going to ride these in the wet.
-
28-37 will be a tiny bit lighter than 32-47, but the inner tube will be stretched more, potentially increasing the chance of puncture (kind of guessing this bit). The difference on both these points is likely to be so small that you can safely ignore. I guess the only choice influencing factor could be if you might run bigger or smaller tyres in the future.

^ +1.
Those look like they can only be fitted with the supplied band, not mounted to frame bosses.

I think this should be in the wheelbuilding thread, but anyway here's a cheap decent build (in my opinion):
32h hubs - http://www.on-one.co.uk/c/q/wheels_hubs_and_rims/hubs
Spokes - http://www.cyclebasket.com/m9b0s453p0/Components/Spokes-_Stainless_Steel_BLACK_Double_Butted
Rims - I was going to say that CRC were selling Jalco DRX6000 rims for about a fiver each, but it looks like they have sold out. This is probably the wheel component you have the most opinion on though and any 32h 700c rim should be fine. Deep section rims are easier to build generally.
-
I have one of each of these. What are they worth individually / as a set?

+1 Spokey Pro. I find the metal Park one scratches coloured spokes as well as being a bit fiddly to use.
-
£150 seems a pretty good price to me. New cost built by BETD would have been somewhere around £270 at a guess. I already have a wheel just like this though!
-
Cool. I'll dig them out.
-
Nice!
Are you looking for some more Super Record parts? Think I have derailleurs and hubs somewhere.
