^ Hmm, you're probably right there.

Ugo, I've used mine for 5hr+ wheel building sessions and was more concerned by the stupid bladed spoke holder than my tensiometer ergonomically.

But I know what you mean, I was concerned it would become a bit cumbersome after a while using, but with a 32h 3x bladed spoke build it was no bother at.

Bad Boy with drops?

Either way, it's all sorts of awesome, really like it!

A while back I showed some photos of my tensiometer made by a guy called Filip who uses the design by Jobst Brandt (which is open to use by anyone), and a few of you were interested.

I have used mine a lot now and swear by it, it's so much better than anything I've seen or used below £300, and mine cost didn't even cost half that!

Filip has now finished his top end version using a TESA Digico dial (unbelievable Swiss precision) and THK roller bearings (Japanese and smoother than a very smooth thing), and is currently selling one on ebay here.

There are much better pics and a video to see more on the ebay listing.

^ Is it bad that I want to punch that kid?

Whenever I've changed position/saddle/haven't ridden in a while, I find I tend to try and sit to far forward, with rather obvious discomfort.

Just a shift back a bit to get the sit bones where they're supposed to be does wonders, I just have to remind myself every so often!

^ Sounds like a pretty solid build to me, but I'm sure someone will be along in a bit to tell me I'm wrong! ;P

What are the bars on that umop3pisdn (if it's yours)?

^ Hell yeah!

It's finished, at least for now.

Awesomenesses. O_O

^^ Samson needs other forks.

Hip Hop Slave Future-Rat Bike... Might strip the rest of the anodising off the cranks and polish them up - you can't see that they're Dura Ace, so they might as well at least be shiny...

Wha?!

You're thinking of Campag Omega?

There are Omega branded rims/wheelsets which have nothing to do with campagnolo.

Er... oops.

Looks great nutsjesmoar!

I wasn't sure on those forks, but works well with blacked out components, risers and those tyres, nice build.

Which Omega rims?

They did clincher and tubulars, in box section or v.

I had a set of clincher v and they were pretty decent, classy looks too.

Rychtarski and Pina are both very tasty, love the industrial look of the Pina's chainstays, and nice setup for track, while that 'Starski is a lush tarck, I really do want.

After getting a bike fit few weeks back, I got a cheap chinese crabon CX frame (open mold Dirty Disco but with BB30), and getting used to a very different position, I think after thrashing it over the summer to make sure it works for me, and I'm going to order a Rychstarski over winter.

It has to be done! :D

Was about to buy the Kojaks in 1.35" but it says load - 90kg? That a max?

Max per tyre, so if you're riding a road bike with drops, 40% of your weight including bike and gear to front tyre, and 60% to rear I think.

Hmmm, I'm out TW15 and never really given much thought about clubs, but could do with extra motivation and push with fitness.

Lack of car to get to rides and refusal to wear lycra without something over it are sticking points however.

Think my GP4000s 25mm come out as 27-28mm on Archetypes (which is why I kept them!), not much of a shock with a wide clincher rim.

That Serotta really is a thing of beauty Dammit, pretty much my ideal classic steel frame, and a tasteful build too, much envy. stareslongingly

Debunking Wheel Stiffness

^ T'is ok, managed to find it eventually.

Dammit, any idea on how much the Flo 30 rims weigh?

^^ Very nice!

Reckon the Serotta looks awesome, but have always been a big fan of their frames.

I don't use a power meter, so can I has?! :D

In seriousness, can the rim decals be removed, where did you find them, and what's they like?

So much want -
