Might see you at one of those events. Will keep an eye out.
Thinking of heading to whichever pub the 01FIX1 ride ends up at for post-TT hydration so if I spot you and know something's happening, will let you know :-)

Woop! Oli from Liverpool

Shame, thanks for the update!
EDIT: Might still gamble on one based on Tijmen's experience. Could use a short sleeved skinsuit with pockets for riding to weeknight club TTs without a backpack.

Not ridden either but they do look pretty good. If I was building another fast fixed on a budget avoiding flashy components, would definitely consider them.
Think I prefer the Alpina branding on a Dolan, so would probably still go for that, personally.

Hey Marcel, yes, that axle and parts will work.
In order to space the wheel correctly, you'll just need to order some M10 axle (or chainring bolt spacer): 10mm inner diameter, and 16mm outer diameter will match the axle's cone nuts well. Not sure how many and which thicknesses you'll need though.
I bought some of these when converting an old Specialized trispoke from rear to front:

But hopefully you'll be able to find something a bit more local.

Maybe wait for a definitive Tester response before pulling the trigger... You'll need to trim, turn down, and re-thread that axle for 9mm fork ends & nuts before fitting. Have fun!

the 10mm axle's also too thick to fit in a fork end, unless you have a lathe...

The M525A doesn't have the nice big rubber outer seals like the M525. Think the 'A' is a cheapo OEM spec one.
If you don't mind 36h, last time I bought one an M525 they were £8 at SJS cycles (exc. postage)

EDIT: so is this for a front hub rather than a converted fixed rear? That axle won't work as the cone nuts in the two shimano hubs are M10x1 threaded.

'Last one', hurry!

Also, try to find a Miche Primato rear hub axle kit, with cones, as the bearings are the same size. After that, you might just need a few M10 axle/chianring bolt spacers to properly space the wheel.

Was going to say exactly the same, but within the (assumed) context of more modern disc brake wheel hubs, thought the answer would be considered 'trolling' :-D

Alpina branded Driveline TK14-OS C1; decent taiwanese OEM outboard track crank.

Must be more active at pursuing sellers of counterfeiters? More distinctive design = more reason to protect their IP? That Fizik probably won't stay up for long.
'Selle' literally means 'saddles' in Italian, so maybe use of that generic word in an Ali listing title isn't enough to get something flagged and pulled down.

PM'd RE Fort. Would make a great 'I woz once a fixie skidder' flat bar road bike.

@Christono is that seatpost flipped? Saddle is mega forward.

SS is fine, that's in the forum's name too, ha!

[1] Yes, [2] yes, and [3] please do attempt all the titular disciplines on this bike!
By doing so and documenting it, you will be help the forum preserve its *dignity.

Chainline would be 40-41mm in inner position: alright, but not ideal.
Try locating a USE track chainring. They're designed to work with Shimano HTII 130mm spiders and give 42mm chainline. They're also stiff, heavy, aero and badass.

(*Of the 23 threads on the first page of CP at time of writing, only 5 contain FG or SS bikes, which is embarassing. I opened them all and checked. I don't know which is sadder :-D )

EDIT: Just do it!

Out of interest, what Mavic wheel do you need a spoke & nipple for? Small chance I can help.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Double or single side fixed rear?

Also interested in that Spexcel suit! Looking at maybe getting them to produce some custom kit for a team in future... Black shorts section, white + printed top. Interested to find out about quality of the shorts and overall fit.
@Tijmen I recently received some white (same cut & style as pink & orange ones) Spexcel jerseys (for same team as mentioned above). I'm 181cm/75kg and ordered 'L' after the Gabba-type jersey I got from them in 'L' was a bit tight, so thinking 'M' would be too small, but probably should have ordered 'M'. You should definintely get 'S'. I found the cut of the arms a little too generous on 'L', although a little better in 'M'. Hopefully they won't be too flappy for you in 'S'.

Data print will always look awful (IMO) but the kit looks decent and kudos for not paying through the nose for it. Thanks for the link(s).
What's sizing like? What size are you normally and what size did you order?

Riding fixed, or ironically riding road bikes?

How was the front hub laced previously? Concerned about risk of flange fatigue failure if going radial from a hub previously cross-laced.

Ah, I see.

Isn't XR26 is 25g heavier?
I believe the three rims can happily co-exist together, occupying slightly different depth, stiffness & weight requirements, in a happy world made of marshmallows, rainbows and unicorns.
