Photos show headset spacers and stem setup but Zipp stem and thomson seatclamp are not for sale sorry! I dont have the orignal seatclamp but ebay does they're cheap. I will supply the FSA headset though. I road this frame daily for ages its been used well hence the slight paint damage but these 2011 kageros are quite sort after, main paint damage is on the stays and then a few expected all over for its age, Viewings welcome in east Cash is King £350

Has anyone used the hylix Carbon cross fork on pomps before? Looks like a Chinese special

They seem to be sharp enough when riding, commute was wet today so brakes was a bonus. Few minor adjustments moving the levers closer to bars tonight, ill try the evo pads and see how i get on, pay day next week

Ours are practically the same really. still tweaking brakes, unsure how i feel about the whole thing atm, just gonna ride it for a few weeks and see, can always gets the grinder out

no real problems with the brakes tbh I'm loving them, the arms are just further away coz of width of the wheel, they're not rubbing at all and the amount of pull on the lever is good enough, just a bit spongy coz of the flex in the rear triangle. no chance ill be changing to disc or canti, only change will be back to brakeless fixed. i think ill try the new pads to see if they're are thinner and setup nicer than the stock pads, I'm just struggling with pad position not having the spacers to adjust the angle of the pad so they're set slightly further apart than they should be no doubt to account for no toe in adjustment

brakes didn't really seem much different, slightly harder to setup as the spacers ball and socket system help with toe in so lever pull is a bit sloppier. Hoping once pads wear in setup will be easier

ill run the bike with the spacers out the pads tmr and see how it is then ill look into new ones

are they noticeably thinner?

yeah or cantis

managed to switch spacers around a bit and put what i can on outside of pad and brakes have closed up to 50mm rather than 65mm, so I've gained 15 mm. only other solution is thinner pads or rims and Id rather not switch wheels

Yeah the brackets are too close but they are welded on the outside of the stays already, we didnt have much to play with, I'll try removing the spacer on the inside of the pad

its 65mm and the instructions say the brakes are linear pull not mini V even though they are minis, next step would be thinner pads

yeah the routing looks dope

so according to the instructions they are the correct width apart. They seemed too far apart to me when i was setting them up but the smaller of the 2 spacers are being used so they are sitting in the correct position. The bosses that were welded on could move ever so slightly further down which may make a small difference but they are at the recommended width. The h plus sons are alot wider that normal road rims which probably arnt helping

Sweet I'll pm u bro

Trying my hand at speeding up surface rust just to loose the shinyness of the ground areas from welding. Bleach, white vinegar and salt soaked cloth wrapped round the areas for 30mins each

The TRP cx8.4's recommend sram levers for compatible pull ratio and shimano i think for the tcp cx9's which are slightly bigger v brakes. They're not set up super close to the rim, i think I'm just new to setting them up, i need to get hold of the park tool 4th hand tool to make my life easier, the levers brake great without coming too close to the bars

bet yours is lighter though, the gangsters pretty lumpy

Ill need to run the bike in CX mode and back in Track mode brakeless with risers again now the brackets are welded to see how it looks once the surface rust appears to be fully satisfied it still looks how i want it too with it back in track mode without the brackets standing out too much. The final plan is to send the bike to motoreeen for a full rat look paint job which will deter your eye from the brackets when in track mode coz the bike will essentially look ratty and almost like an old conversion.

I've been working with rene getting together some inspiration but I'm thinking along these lines

Robs away now for a few weeks so i have a while to get used to it and run it in but next on the agenda is

. Camo Bar Tape
. Fill and smooth welds now we know brackets are correct
. Pull dent on top tube
. Seal internal cable routing by running small steal tube through top tube
. Potentially matt clear coat over welds once surface rust appears until i decide on respray project

heres a few close ups of the welding, brakes and internal cabling

It looks exactly how i imagined it, Geo is a bit aggressive coz the fork has already been cut but it rides amazing. Tyres are running in nicely, you have to run the brakes really close to the rims to get a nice pull on the lever but once tweaked its braking beautifully. Only issue is the rear stays are flexing slightly coz of the pressure from the brake so I'm looking into a brake booster that ill potentially have to modify to strengthen the rear, but saying that I've been bombing around the last few days and I've had no problems.

So it's been about about 10 days since i posted, been away on holiday, left the Brooklyn to get the welding done, returned from my trip and spent the last week fiddling with brakes.

Pretty happy with progress. Basically welding went great, discovered that 42:18 and 49:18 use the same position into the dropouts so welding the brackets was fairly straight forward, rob smashed it. Fitting the brakes was another issue, something I've never done before, I'm new to v brakes so struggled a bit but went to hackney peddlar in shoreditch to see Tom, hung out had some beers and we set it up. It looks fucking rowdy I'm stoked but I need to ride it for a while before I'm fully convinced

Looks so sick, the Brooklyn doesn't look too far off the same geo really
