  • Is that metric or imperial?

  • Noted...@andyp

    Will keep on lookout for 61cm CAADX then

  • Just got this. Can confirm that it's slightly tank-like, but so much fun to ride.

  • Haha would rep @andyp

  • All the people who write tank, come and get some spank

  • Can anyone recommend a good straight blade cantimount fork?
    I'm looking to convert my Gangsta track into winter mode and am thinking dual V brakes is the way to go.

    All I can find is the Easton EC90X which is lurvly but way out of my price range.

    The other is a straight blade Alpina which would be perfect but I can only seem to find the ugly fat curved one. Any ideas?

    Also there is the the Kinesis fork. Easily available but just looks VERY fat and I'm not sure how good that'll look on a Gangsta.

    Finally can anyone identify this fork?

  • Fork on the Stoemper is probably Ritchey. You could try a Chinese carbon fork or All-City Nature Boy forks?

  • Ritchey WCS carbon cross Wiggle

  • Also interested in forks.
    On the last one is written ritchey carbon wcs.

  • Aha! @Burgunder @eone I think that'll be perfect. Last one left, now I just need to make some money ASAP.

  • All the people who write tank, come and get some spank

    @Thuekr - I'm just joshing. I've a Pompino, which is even more of a boat anchor and it is beautifully stable off road. Just a takes a bit of extra effort to get it going again after a dead turn.

  • I'm going full on for alibaba carbon parts and 74° HT on my sscxsteelie to make it less anchish/tankish #notaKokijsdemachine

  • This looks awful

  • Does such a thing as a 135mm spaced disc braked aluminium SSCX frame exist? (Preferably with rack and mudguard mounts)

  • Pompetamine. Not alu, but...

  • I had a Pompino last year. I don't like steel.

  • You could always use any old alu cx frame which fits the bill and use a singulator or similar..

  • oh hay I have a singleator for sale

  • I could, but the plan is for a frame that can be run as a disc braked SSCX bike, and also as a dual disc + suicide fixed winter trainer with mudguards. Might have to go Mielec.

  • You could run a WI hub in a disc cx frame.

  • Actually... that has no lockring thread.

  • Wouldn't matter with two disc brakes... hmm, nice, but a bit pricey.

  • Adjusting the mount so the pads/disc line up will be a thing.

    Another option is to pick up a 130mm spaced cross frame, fit a disc fork and run a rim brake on the back and either a double sided Eno hub. You'd have the same (small) issue with adjusting brakes, but you'd have a lockring for fixed.
