Thanks guys! Yea those Sun Ringles temted me too, but can't just buy all in the same time.. I just buy'd those WTB Frequency i23 rims for now and look some hubs later when got money to spend. (Fckging student life) Rims looks really good:)

Pro-Lite looks also ok and it has 21mm wide rim. Tho it has 15mm axle in the front, but is also convertable to QR also.
In the past I have used 18mm wide rims and 2.4" tyres in together and they worked out ok.

Offcourse I coud buy some wider rims and hubs, but..What hubs would be good in "affordable" price range?
Is Sram X7/X9 hubs from nowhere?

You could get better. I doubt for that price though.

Can't remember who I suggested these to before. They look pretty good for the money as well.

Those dosen't look also not bad at all..Hmm..More difficult desoices to make.

After readind all those comment's I'll think that I will stick to that fork. Front tyre will be atleast 2.4" and running tubeless, so low PSI is possible.
Next thing is the wheels and because I don't have that much money to spend, I have been thinking these:

What alu legs? or just alu steerer?

Alu legs and alu steerer..

I accidentally ordered alu fork over carbon one. Fuck. Carbon it might be a bit softer, but...Have to live with that alu fork now. A-C tho looks ok.

And I also got SLX crankset.

Crank's for Univega and rims for Vivalo.
Stem for girlfriend's mixte.

Thanks for the help. I think that I will go with 445mm fork. Would alu or carbon steerer be better?

^ It's a shame he hasn't posted any pictures with the 425mm installed. I'd like to see what the tyre clearance is like.

True. Here is the XXIX with 420mm Pace RC31:

And here 440mm Pace RC31:

...Difficult to make decision.

Out of interest, did you ever try riding it with the longer fork?

I'll stick with my previous opinion that 445 will handle better.

Nope, I haven't got change to do that. Selller was allready strip the bike when i buy'd the frame. Maybe that 445mm would be best option.
Also I find this: http://forums.mtbr.com/29er-bikes/useful-exotic-cycles-carbon-fork-xxix-info-538661.html

So I just got this Univega (Raleigh XXIX) frame an the next thing is to buy fork for it. I have been thinking about Exotic's carbon fork's, but the a-c lenght is a bit mystery still for me. The stock fork on it has been something 340-440mm. Like this:

Here's is the last owners pic with 470mm Salsa:

So..Would 445mm or 465mm be better for it? And also alu steerer or carbon steerer one? Price diference isin't that much between them. Also Hylix with 460mm would be one option, but I think that Exotic's look better.

I'm trying to look down on my monitor from above to see the logo. Is that a Univega?

Proper singlespeed off roader planned I hope!

Yes, is it a Univega. Got the frame pretty cheap. Hell yea it's gona be singlespeed off roader. Next thing is to order Exotic carbon fork for it. Original fork's a-c was 430-440mm based on what I have read and I might use 445mm fork on it. I think that 467mm is bit too much, here's last oweners set up with Salsa 470mm fork;

What would you say? This is gona be my first 29er.

Does somebody have one of these? I'll buy it.
I got pair, but the drive side crank is worn out and is bit loose on the BB.

PM, please.

dude!
they dont look like 7710
you took over my parcel?!

They don't are 7710, at least I think so. I think that they are HB-7600? I was looking for high flange 7600 with njs stamp, but those where so cheap that I had to buy them. I think I will build those with H+son TB14 rims or VO rims or might even sell them and buy some other hubs with njs stamp. Maybe not, because I think that they are nice looking hubs on very good condition.

New parts for vivalo:

are they not 7600 small flange?

Based on that catalog pic I think they are.
I havent ever see or heard that HB-7600 was made also in low flange.

Does somebody know model's of these DA-hubs?

For Vivalo:




BB is used though.

Headset is Hatta Swan Super Deluxe.
And all the parts was cheap! Bit over 80gpb for all of those. The saddle was unused, but has some storage marks. I was looking for Concor, but that Junior modes was so cheap that i had to buy it. Hope it's good for my ass.

Will DA 7600 cranks works ok with (Dura-Ace FC-7400 bb) on 112mm axle?

More pics as I promised.

Some better pics when I actually got the frame. Kaisei 8630R tubing. Build by Shuichi Kusaka in Japan Kobe on 2002. No dings or dents and hardly even any scratch on it.

PM'd.

repairable or junk?

Yea, i talked in other lbs about that long nipples thning and they have same amout internal threading so no help with those. And they're not so durable because it leaves some empty space in the nipple wich may broke easier. So they are meant to be used with deepper rims when 12mm nipple does not protrude through the rim enough to locate the spoke wrench. I'll have to take that in next week for other dude to truined, he say'd that spoke lenght shoud be fine. Will see!

Yea, kind of weight weenies wheels, but I also wanted them to really be resistand an support so that's why 28h in wront. Rear 32h. Weight shoud be a bit under 1400g, which is really fine for me.

Next the rear wheel. I just wanto make sure that it goes right, so. Which is the right hole for the first key spoke?
