IR's multiple build thread.

Thanks guys, when I bought the hubs in the kinoko sale originally I was going to build them onto different rims and put them on here, then I bought the pendle and spotted some archetypes also on sale so I built up the wheel set before realising out they would't be practical for track (not tubs, single fixed, odd chain line) so they have ended up on here while I decide on something else for the pendle. Pretty glad this wheel build has come full circle.

Indra - you're a part of Das Rad?

Traitor! Orlo looks clean man. Wish it fitted me. :(

No mate just had the sticker on it so I didn't remove it, show some history innit.

Still got the 75 grad on the pendle too.

Btw where were you Saturday?

• Please tell me you weren't sleeping ..
  

Nah just wasn't having a good day and spent a lot of time away from my phone.

Ridiculously classy build. Wheelset compliment it spot on. Don't lock it with that puny thing. If fact, never lock it to anything.

Cuz Chak'll be lurking!

• We still on for swapping stems?

Whered you get the strong Vs?

Those wheels look tidy. Nice bike.

Gangsta is in serious need of a clean/new drivetrain.

Or just replace the chain when it's almost worn out? save you a huge amount of hipster dollas buying a new cog and chainring again.

I usually replace chains after a couple of months, just got a bit behind on this one.

That Brooklyn is way too sensible. You need to do something awful to it.

I recommend stripping it and spraying the forks hot pink

On the subject of sensible…

Indra, are they Raceblade XLs and 35c Nomads? How's the coverage?

Yes indeed, coverage is good but you have to run them quite high like I am to stop the rubbing the tyres but apart from that they work very well.

Got this stem from Bueno yesterday, I think I prefer it to the ARX.

The blocky look goes well with the stays IMO.

^^ Cheers man. I want something to cover my 35c Ribmos in this wet weather. I offered up one of Pepe's XLs and the tyre seemed to be exactly the same width, maybe even a little wider… I guess that's what I get for running 33mm rims.

How do you find the 33mm rims and 35c tyres? The rims I've got on are only 24mm but they feel ok.

I love it.
