Nice!
Definitely don't drill a Wing Pista; there's no solid alu part inside the crown area underneath the carbon; it's a true monocoque. Also, the distance from underside of fork crown to crown race is very small (around 15mm IIRC), so not much material there to begin with before severing fibres by adding a 6mm brake hole.

Ceramic who?

:-(

Fuck 'em, don't let it, neither is a proper cycling club.
EC1 can't enter proper races due to its membership criteria and RCC was conceived purely as a vehicle for selling more expensive clothing to people who are easily swayed by marketing.
The people who join are bigger idiots than those that don't. If they feel the need to pay £xxx to make them feel part of something, or to feel superior, more fool them.

Neither, but think I have a Soma Fab. 20t chrome plated one, hardly used, will post for £10.

Amazing, thank you for all the info. Sounds like you hit the jackpot with the d042, short freehub & d252sb endcap combo! Might take a punt on the freehub to start with.

Nice! Romantic evening for one :-) Are you planning to add any powdered additives?

More excellent DIY porn! Was coincidentally reading this thread last night to find info on the 5 speed freehub you used with the original Shimano rear wheel on the Pompetamine.
Which Novatec hub does the tiny freehub body come from? This new hub combo would be really useful on a 120mm SSCX setup.

Halo ones are decent and cheap. Better made and more reliable than the overpriced Zipp/FFWD which look suspiciously like rebadged Trans-X/System EX ones. Less frontal area than those on the threaded end, too.
I bet Andy will recommend Viewspeed (if you have the money).

Ah, cool, thanks.

Never heard of the CX-Force before reading this. Is that what Sapim used to call the current 'CX' spoke?

Think they have a store in the south west now, where all that stuff is sold.

Also, each store seems to have a small quantity of that type of stock.

Please only get Enve stuff if you promise to Sharpie the logos or cover them in black repro decals, (or better yet sand them off) because their logo looks gash :-D

Classic case of needing to file 'em.

Left the crown race on?

"An Oakley representative told Cycling Weekly... that this would never have happened with genuine Oakley sunglasses."
Of course it wouldn't, haha.

£103?

Who delivered the spokes? We normally get a 'Dave' (according to tracking and text notifications) in Manchester/Trafford Park :-)
Love DPD.

Haha, like the new thread title

That sucks! Stockport PC said the same to me a few years ago (coincidentally how I discovered Ashton; they were the only local PCer with that grey powder I like [7000] in stock at the time). A bike will only use a few hundred grams of powder (EDIT: incl. wastage, still def. less than a kilo). Presumably, if the colour is similar to a more popular one they already have, they're unwilling to order 5kg of something they may not get another order for. Also, maybe their equipment is set up for 5kg buckets, i.e., that's the smallest (or only) size of container that can be used with their equipment (and they CBA dispensing 1kg into an empty bucket because cleaning/contamination/... They must have decided in the past that it's more hassle than it's worth).

I wonder why?

Will be interested to hear how this works out.
Not sure if a PCrer's equipment would be tailored to using a particular type or composition of powder/plastic. Worth an email to see if they'd be ok using it.

Yes. Thank you :-) Will do! Doesn't get ridden too often though.
EDIT: Might attach a some reinforcement to protect the cover around the sprocket area.
