No its more like 25-26mm wide on the rim. I said it, because gp 4000s appear to be true to size where as rubino pro are a bit larger than their official sizing. Sorry for the confusion.

rubino pro 23mm on aerowarrior -> 21mm high 25-26mm wide
gp4000s 23mm on aerowarrior -> 20mm high 24-25mm wide

both -> work fine!

I have a 23mm rubino pro (more like a 24mm) on the front on a aerowarrior rim and before that i've had gp 4000s and continental triathlon in 23mm. No problem at all.

(..and it looks aero...)

L-1 is TRP´s "is to post mount adapter" for a front 140mm rotor
(only company that makes one...)

this one is also fun...

Cool bike!

... Reach felt spot on, if a little high, just gotta slam the stem a bit more...

maybe this :)

What did the head angle/fork rake/ trail end up at?

nice colour!

**an ahead **17 degree, 26 clamp, 2 bolt stem.

Has anyone got a picture of a Pompino with Surly Long Haul Trucker forks? Interested in seeing what it looks like.

This is a L pompetamine with the short (26") disc trucker fork. There is space for a 38mm high tyre.

Thanks!

no/no/maybe

A small mod.

Bite point/free stroke adjuster (= how much/little lever travel before the brake "bites"/starts working):

Before: 1. was lever reach adjuster.

Now: 2. is a M5 bolt that acts as a lever stop and can be turned up or down = new lever reach adjuster.

Because 2. blocks the lever from moving further out, 1. now moves the piston start position deeper into the housing (and thereby the brakepads start position closer to the rotor) = bite point adjuster

:)

carbon fork with 380mm axle-to-crown and 1 1/8 steerer tube:

but a bit expensive...

Haha thanks.

Doesn't look like you're gaining a lot switching to the other lever blade?

about 3cm less reach from bar to lever blade. The discbrake lever is made for straight bars, so is pretty far away when mounted on a dropbar. But it also depends on where you drill the holes in the new lever blade.

I'm testing out my homemade hydraulic drop bar lever:

It looks weird but is quite comfy. The silver tape is for more grip from the hoods

Still needs some work. I miss bite point/free stroke adjustment, so the lever is a bit softer than the right one (old cable to hydro converted).

Id really like a pair of hylex levers but until I can afford them ill mess around with this.

I think 14t freewheels have a smaller screwon interface(30x1 mm metric, bmx something..) vs 16t-20t who have standard 1.37" x 24 tpi freewheel thread.

Im not 100% sure but at least check the description of the freewheel you are buying, for the right thread size.

Here's one for the aerogeeks:

Is a New Aero more aero than an Aerolite?

Zipp has an old example that is pretty close:

http://www.zipp.com/_media/pdfs/technology/spokeshape.pdf.bak (open with adobe reader)

the 2 wheels: A: 2001 303 24 oval spoke and B: 1997 24 blade spoke
are made with the same rim and A: 24 1.2x2.3mm spokes, B: 24 1.0x3.0mm spokes

the oval spoke wheel is about 1 watt less in aerodrag and 4 watts less in watts to spin at 30mph, so about 5 watts advantage in total.

So I guess your wheel would be a tiny bit slower with dt new aero, but about + 75% spoke strength.

Maybe build it with 16/18/20 spokes.

a helpful illustration...

Still looks like this:

and explanation: http://www.lfgss.com/post3515529-2016.html

I found some front 26" mtb wheels in the garbage and tried one out on my pompetamine. Front end drops 3cm. Big success. Low trail steering is really nice. The bike is much more agile.

So now I made this!: DIY sliding dropouts.... (and pictures!)

It raises the backend 25mm and together with the surly disc trucker fork (the short version, 376mm axle to crown) the bike ends up with a 74 degree headtube. I really like the way it handles now.

The rear wheel is a shimano "singlespeed" disc wheel with no dish made by combining a old generation xtr hub with an 5 speed freehub. The OLD spacing is set to 122mm and it fits with the added aluminium dropouts (122mm + 6.5mm + 6.5mm = 135mm).

(shimano 5 speed freehub, 7 speed freehub, and standard 9 speed freehub, all for 10mm axle)


Version 1.5!

Well its not quite weightweenie:


and the brake needs to be installed before the wheel.

I don't know how tough raw aluminium is for wear, so i'll just have to wait and see what happens. maybee a steel version is a good idea.
