Yeaah! Awesome!
Matte black wing Pista on that frame looks great. -
^True, dat.
-
Why heat the chain to 200deg?
-
I bought some the other day but need it to make some better pads for my USE ones. Will let you what is spare after they're done, ha

^What Dan said
You can also swap the extension clamps over so the armrest mount holes, and thus the armrests, are mounted inboard of the spacer stacks.

I have a Hongfu HB-029 (nearly identical to PDQ/ADR) just removed from my bike.
(Can't get quite low enough so migrated to USE TR2 clip-ons and a Syntace Stratos CX bar)
Got all spacers & screws, uncut carbon extensions, some DIY stuff I made to match it (carbon BTA mount, carbon garmin mount, couple of pairs of neoprene pads because the factory ones are shit), and just rattlecanned the base bar matte black after the horns became a bit glossed up over time. Will post for £125 (PM me)
P.S. your old A900s are being very well looked after xx -
think it's for an e-bike motor module, Bosch, or whatever rip-off exists
^too slow :-)

They normally crack under the front where the rail moulding is bonded.
If your riding position is 'on the rivet', it might crack after a while, but if you sit a way back, sitbones on widest bit, etc... Should be fine. -
Haha!

What fork is that? Looks a pretty good match for the head tube
-
Also great cosmetic/durability upgrade for anyone who has ever disassembled a rear Novatec hub track hub and completely mashed the soft aluminum cone nuts.

as #TesterSays, or a Dremel-type tool with a tiny abrasive bit, or a piece of 400grit wet/dry sandpaper rolled around a matchstick?

Nope - just tweeted, not that it'll get a response.

I built some brkless wheels using DT R460DB rims recently and I'm v. happy with them. Was skeptical on receipt because they're not the best finished (they're drilled after being anodised, and some spoke holes still holes have swarf in them), but that's what makes them cheap, and it's not a problem when they're built up.
In 28h, would build 3-cross rear, 2-cross front.
Might not be deep/stiff enough for proper track training use, so maybe take a look at it's big brother, the R511DB (deeper, double the price, welded joint, nicer finish).
Indoor/outdoor track, or crit? Both (paricularly the R511DB) might be a tad narrow for crit racing, but are the perfect width if you want to run 20mm clinchers on an indoor track. -
The old Merc? Trumps a wall anyday :-)
NPF! -
When's it running fixed?
-
Buggers! They were less than £20 a month or so ago (ludicrous but I'm not making it up).
EDIT: still a pretty good deal though
-
Looking for a Shimano 7sp freehub body fixing bolt.
Does anyone have any knackered ancient (6-7sp) wheels I can steal one from, or maybe a dead hub with one in?
Located in Manchester so will probably need posting.
Name your price, anticipating paying small fee + P&P.
Thanks,
Lukas -
Yeah ok, sounds good, see you there!
Edit: could you bring the seatclamp for the Tifosi also? Thx xx -
Will require another £4.40/£3.90 for (1st/2nd Class SF) postage because in Manchester, if @alialias doesn't want it.
-
@alialias got a TRP Spyre from when I used a disc on my TT bike two years ago. Very little use, two 160mm 6-bolt rotors, all mounts (mostly unused), all retail packaging. Wouldn't mind keeping hold if it for a rainy day, hence price is £30.

Waste of a good Ass Saver.
-
There prob should be a machined recess on the axle for the end cap o-ring to locate in, so if there isn't one, blame Novatec for cutting corners :-)

This could be worth a look if you don't find a matching Wing TT (next time it's in a sale at <£35 to avoid import VAT & handling fees):
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/brand-new-BXT-arrival-700C-Road-bicycle-fork-UD-1-1-8-super-light-matt-glossy/1942488_32651606373.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.m06jcF
I ordered one in summer, and another in a sale the other week (still waiting for that one), when the price was <£30.
Nice and stiff, rides absolutely fine, about 360g with 180mmish of steerer, looks aero-ish, matches Pursuit Champ head tube nicely (it's 45mm diameter at the crown, not 46 as shown). Same fork as used on the State Undefeated 'tarck'/crit bike, so not ideal pedigree but should stand up to a bit of road abuse, probably fine for TT.
No pictures of mine fitted to a frame, but currently in the process of painting a fork and one of my frames, so will post a few images when it's done. Might even be cheeky and badge it as an Alpina, ha. Originally bought for a different frame but the crown didn't match the head tube diameter. IMO, tough, the straight plain blades look better on the Pursuit Champ than various models of factory Wing TTs.
