Wow!

Any hhsb style wheel recommendations? Will they break and kill me with fire?

Rear wheel is borrowed, disc will have matching tyre and i need to build or find some wheels for street use. Picking up a white saddle tomorrow. Fitting longer stem and cutting steerer now.

Just came in from a 30k ride. So much fun! Didn't use the tri-spoke cause it's not glued yet.

Mocked up for a test ride.

It's nice. Snapped by HP.

@edscoble Ah, that one, cool.

It's so much fun! You need to get another bike though, cause your Oak is so dialled.

Any good tips if I wanna go hydro, btw? Don't think I'll go back to drops on this bike.

Pt 2.

After Lake Tahoe we drove south and had a stop in a small town in the forest. Ate burgers at this joint and got talking with some locals. They warned us from Yosemite and said we should go to Mammoth and ride our bikes instead. We got some sleep at a motel (xmas light and breakfast pics) before driving through Yosemite. We originally had planned to camp in Yosemite Valley, but the guys we spoke with were right – so packed with tourists and we just kept going. So we went to Mammoth were we stayed at a campground up by a lake (not as scary as the one in Tahoe, but still with bear warnings) for two nights. Mammoth has some really nice trails, so we did a long lightweight trail ride and rested up by the campfire.

Thanks! Yea, looks like the one. It's nice and comfy, but not very durable.

Suspect no.1 hiding in plain sight.

I like it, though.

So I got the Campa Centaur 111mm BB in the post today. And here you go, Sugino 75 mounted. I think this will do.

Good man. I'll give it a try.

Yea, I checked Wiggle. Norwegian VAT limit is 350, so with shipping it was above that, which means 25% on top of the total price. Ordered from the site above with a newsletter discount. Looking forward to fitting it.

So getting this should make all my worries go away? https://www.bikester.no/387951.html?c=816

It's like the only two in stock in Norway right there.

It is 52, I got a side view as well.

Here is a new picture from them with a 52T.

I've asked them to tighten properly and fit a >50T ring. They want to sell me the BB at cost price.

Does anyone know what the recommended clearance is?

@Lukas: I'm guessing the tapering is different. I'm borrowing the SG75 from a friend with option to buy cheap. To be honest, if I can't fit either the Omnium or the SG75 I'm not really interested in the frame.

Dolan finally got back to me, and they now believe me using Hatta BB could be causing the SG75 to not fit. They suggest using the Sugino standard BB which I of course don't have.

Got this photo from them showing a SG75 with matching BB.

Does the Hatta BB really give a narrower chainline and will swapping BB solve everything?

I got XT + BM budget setup on my beater. Love it.

That Open color combo is aaannnti.

Never mind the disc, I will need to build/get a rear wheel for normal use. But that BB would only push the crank 1 mm out compared to the 109 on there now. Would still be tight, and I would need to buy it to see if it would work.

It really sucks. I want it to work, and sending it back would mean even more work for me to ship it and to get Norwegian VAT back. Dolan say they'll only cover £30 of the shipping, and I'm looking at £40-50 to get it out of the country. What a f*cking mess.

@Pifko Yep, I know, I didn't have to tool to tighten it properly.

So, to follow up on the chainstay issue. I finally got around to try a Sugino 75. Seems to be 1.5-2mm clearance.

I am disappoint.

Basso's are always interesting. That ASS graphic, though.

They claim they've fitted a 75 without problems. I'll try to borrow a set this weekend and try myself.

Pic from Dolan with Sugino cranks. But is this 130 and not 144 BCD? Looks smaller.
