Armourtex paint @sumo ? Looks very tasty; trademark USE rings + Ultegra cranks?

Armourtex paint @sumo ? Looks very tasty; trademark USE rings + Ultegra cranks?

The listing says
"color: follow customer's requirement"

So I hope they can paint it how I want. The ultegra cranks with USE chainring cost way too much not to use.

Here's my rossin rat. Very à pro pos.

Oww man.. Interesting project !

Even when I tighten the front brake (DA7900) it moves around but the part shown in red doesent .. whats wrong?

I tried with different length brake bolts at the right torque.

is this the return of the chinvelo?

Yeah man .. will be mainly race bike

@Sumo I could be swayed in buying a CF4 too depending on price.

And you can always sell me that USE chainring!

@miro_o Actually these rubber boots have too small openings to get the liner through, as they are designed to ride on the brake cable directly. But as they are made of very flexible rubber, I have just forced them on, and they hold very securely and have yet to fail (3-4 months in).
I got mine here, via ebay

I forgot to take a picture though, sorry...

Great. You've been amazingly helpful.

All the random parts are now ordered or dug out of the parts-box. Project #GTSSCX is underway and it looks like it'll have DIY sealed cable run. Thanks again.

Cheers.
I tried to snap a photo just now, but the combination of dimly lit cellar and crap cellphone camera didn't do so well.
Anyway here goes:

from left to right:

• Paracord 550 outer hull as a colorful cover for the liner
  
• teflon liner
  
• rubber boot
  
• cable stop on frame
  
• jagwire ferrule with liner
  
• outer cable.
  
  

Good luck with your project!

Nice!

I don't use the colourful liner cover, but already using lined end caps and liner/cover that the end caps fit into, but it's not a tight fit so I wanted the rubber boots to do just this.

Cheers Murph. :D

Just finished for a girl friend who is 4'11'' and wanted a classic geo frame.

Good stuff.

I might see if I can run just donuts over the teflon tube. They might pinch it, we'll see.

Fuck.

LOL, thats what happened with my last frame, i had to run it without the smallest cog. Ive sold the frame now and still on the lookout for a replacement!

How much space do you need? Whack a washer on the axle, should give you a mm without putting the wheel too far off centre.

That's my size, my current bike is 60cm ST and 54cm TT.

Just enough that the lockring dosen't rub on the dropout and of course room for the chain on the smallest sprocket.
