Current Projects chat and miscellany

Quando cartridge bearing hubs are no worse than similar priced Novatec. KT use the Quando brand in a region which overlaps Joy Industries low-end (Joytech) and mid-price (Novatec) brands, so Quando hubs tend all to get tarred with the brush of the really low end OEM crap, while Novatec manages to avoid being strongly associated with the equally crap Joytech product.

Alternatively sell me that Chris King 2nut back yeah then I got options

wanna buy it with a frameset attached?

I'd definitely take the extra 16g in exchange for a 4-bolt bar clamp and a taller & 3-bolt steerer clamp

not really...
would be too big for me anyway man.
gwan sell it back to me.

Bought this beauty Pina frame with cracked headtube thinking i'd get it repaired and now after riding it and trying it out, Was wondering if any of you fine people could give me some insight on what would happen if i just leave it as it is. I have marked the crack to see if it will be progressing.

UNSLAMM that seatpostt, apart from that, build looks mad clean, :)

Forgot about about them. Thanks. They do look good on the condor.

and make it unrideable?

Those ITM magnesium stems were very fragile, with a lot failing through cracking at the bar clamp .. Use the Ritchey and keep the ITM as a paperweight or get yourself something else if the last 16g is really important ..

Yess, small sacrifice in the name of HHSB

What about getting someone to just do a spot weld on it?

The 3D24 is payable on bike24.com at the moment - there is also a guy in this forum selling some 3D's.

Updated the fake look commuter... 28c is comfy!

Changed my headset spacers, more details in Look thread

It's motorized? Neat

Love that gif

It's motorized?

No, just a lead screw in the steerer, you have to do repeated bar spins to adjust stack height on the go.

thats so cool, but surly your brake cables will inhibit your ability to do this.

surly

That was funny when I did it

to be honest it was a typo.

You're going to say it has all the following list ?
