I can't justify buying more rims till I've sold some of the ones I've got.
I'd like a set of DT Swiss RR 1.1 in 32h either black or silver. Plannet X still have a few in stock @ £35 each.
In exchange you get a pair of nos 32h cxp12s in silver.
I'd also be happy with a set of IRD's.
-
I'm trying to talk myself out of buying another set of rims...
What do peoples think these DT Swiss would look like with black spokes and black hubs?
BTW I have had a quick google and couldn't find any pictures.
EDIT: OK found this....I guess it sort of gives an idea, black hubs and spokes, but I'd be looking at 32h and 3X...soooo it's not the best eg. If anyone has a better pic it'd be appreciated.
-
are the risers 25.4?
-
I would.
Much as I love the pomps at that price I'd find it hard to believe they're twice/£200 better.
You could hold out for a second hand one.
I was chatting to retro de corsa and his opion was that the pomps have v flexible sizing - ie most ppl could prolly go up or down at least one size bc of the geo. I think he's got a large he's looking to sell. Drop him a PM.
-
^ such a good deal.
Also if you're concerned about the having the bike built baddly, go to the St Pauls Halfords just of Ludgate Circus.
Nothing but good things to say about those guys.
-
Oh sorry... I thought by brakeset you meant front and rear brakes.
They're new from Chainreactions for the same price.
£15 collected Sat?
-
^ I really, really, really, wouldn't bother. It's one thing if you've got a rim knocking about, or someone gives you one, but paying money?!?
my 2p - stay away from old rims, its just not worth it. I thought the same as you and bought an old MA3 for a fiver.... the sidewall eventually exploded. Someone was kind enough to give me a replacement, but I still had to buy new spokes and rebuild it. All round waste of time and money.
If you want an anti-theft measure, buy the rigida and paint badly. You'll end up with a better wheel, less hassle, and enjoy riding your bike more.
-
IS this argos frame not a bit cheap?
Sort of, but not really.
I sold a really nice mint alu/carbon frame with columbus carbon forks for £150... and even then it was fucking hard to shift.
Market forces.
-
Hi I've got one in silver 32h, very light use. £30 (or maybe swap for another rim/wheel).
I think the stickers have been taken off.
Let me know.
Cheers.
-
...as the title says, does anyone have any low flange miche hubs for sale.
32h prefered, but equally happy with 36h.
Or if anyone has any other lowflanges knocking around, I'd be interested in those too.
Cheers.

...
Had a fitting at Condor for my Condor so I'm pretty sure that's pretty close to 'right' :)
...
In that case can't you measure your Condor and then match?
Print 3 of those little bike diagrams; one with your Condor specs and then 2 with the closests Langster and Plug sizings then work out what stem/bar/seat combo you need.
Also someone might be able to recomend a good Evan's where they'll change parts and give you a sort of basic bike fit? - the closest I can do is recomend the cycle surgery in Spitlefields mrk.
....oh and take your own saddle next time you try them out. I'd chose the langster, but that's just me.

On One Pompetamine is what you need - disc compatible, 135mm rear spaced, can be built up geared or SS, or fixed
+1 - The first thing I thought when I read the OP.
Can't you put a bolt-on cog on the disc side of a singlespeed disc hub to make it fixed? If so then that would give you fixed plus a ss disc if you don't like fixed.
Then if you wanted gears, you could just build a back wheel with a Shimano Alfine disc hub.
^ all this assumes you actually want to build a new bike and your using the braking issue as justification ; )
The *really *sensible option would be buying (or re-building) a new wheelset with ceramic open pro's + suitable brake pads. Then check your brake setup, probably replacing your old cables with DA ones. Maybe a calliper upgrade, depending what you're running now.
-
^^ yes... well no... well sort of...
I didn't phrase myself very well, but there is some truth to his post.
The thing I don't get is when ppl come out with this whole "*this should be a fgss forum only and btw **your *all wankers...", why don't they just a) just ignore and start a new thread in a new section; or b) just fuck off and start their own forum?

YOUR ALL FUCKING DUMB! SURELY THIS WEBSITE WAS MADE FOR LONDON FIXED WHEEL AND SINGLE SPEED NOT NONCES WHO ARE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS AND GO RIDING UP A CLIFF ON THERE TOURING BIKES WITH GEARS, you never get a chance to ride your bikes because your so in love with me and have to comment every fucking day. I LIKE PUSSY YOU ALL LOVE COCK - its simple, im not like your kind -- ***piss off and start your own cunting website called :
FAGGOTS/PRICKS/CUNTS/AND A TOTAL WASTE OF SPERM WHO LOVE WANKING ON ROAD/TOURING BIKES WHILST CHATTING UTTER BOLLOCKS WITH A PINT IN THERE HANDS IN VARIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE GREATER LONDON REGION.COM
hahahaha and remember ill fuck you up - after all i am A.L.F
+1
...and probably the reason most of us read and post on here.
So why are you still here? (genuine question)
-
Bad photo, but I fell in love with this bike while looking around the Edge stand at Interbike.
http://reviews.mtbr.com/files/2010/08/rm_erk2.JPGFucking love this!
Different finish on the frame and this would be one of my dream road bikes.
-
I use...
...the right compound for the right job....
Dry chain lube
Wet chain lube...
^ when/what do you use wet for and when/what do you use dry?
I just have wet and I use it for cables and my chain... and also when I can't be arsed to find 2in1.
-
...just been having a think...
The problem with the £50 one you posted is that its not geared for any real force, rght?
So if you mount it lower down, so with a wheelset the wheels touch the ground, that should give you the strength.
The only real downside I see is limiting you manoverability. But any wall mount will do this. AND tbh my folding park stand flexes too much for me to do stiff bb work without wheels for strength/stability.
Also if it is shit just use it as a bike hanger.
-
How come you want a wall mounted one? - to double as a bike holder?
A fold-a-way might be a more sensible option.
-
OK I don't think this is the one, but it's the same and the instructions are good.
-
^^ that is what i was about to say. Park.
^ not the Ikea one... altho I do love it. There's one where a guy uses plastic piping, foam and somesort of fastener.
goes back to searching
fyi the main stands thread is http://www.lfgss.com/thread2012.html
-
There is a DIY one somewhere floating about on the internet - I think its one one of the stand threads.
EDIT: this is strange, I know there is a thread on here with loads of info about repair stands...?
-
TBH, much as I'm drawn to it. It's almost anti.
Almost Anti?...
+1 to being almost anti.
Visually; cranks, bar tape, and graphics.
I'm sure the owner likes it, but its just not quite there.

Hummm... 28h.
Suze are the only cheaper fixed hubs that come in 28h aren't they?
I'll have a think and let you know.
