Planet X kaffenback - Touring / Cross

When building my cx I had same issue. Wanted cheap 1 1/8 carbon forks with room for big tyres. They do not exist :-( either you have to settle for 26", 29" with too long ac or forks with alu steerer. I ended up with alu steerer (which is nice if you want mudguards as they often have eyelets). Now I am saving up for the Ritchey full carbon forks which are 2-300 gbp :-(

Får försöka hitta på nått till vintern, den gaffeln jag har beställt kommer iaf att bli en bra sommargaffel när jag budar :)

jeg forstår :-)

The lower axel to crown might make geometry more interesting/better

I have this

I know the man who have this bike if you need, he's a friend of mine

But those are tapered right?

Mine aren't, I didn't notice they've changed it.

that fork was nice !

Have you looked at kinesis or genesis for forks?

not yet, no stress with fork, like most just get it together to begin with.

took the groupset from my roadbike and rebuilt as a hybrid for lacy courierdays :)

You single ring this? With a 50+ chainring? and a fairly narrow cassette?

You've either got leg guns for days or no hills.

Nice bike btw.

EDIT: I was referring to the previous itteration of the Felt.

is bankiren a messenger?

53 x 12-25

left shifter is cracked, sometimes its a bit heavy, but overall it worked fine.

I'm used to run 49 x 16-17 on my trackbikes.

yep !

Is there a lot of clearance for tyres? Do you think 38mm will fit? Considering buying one.. the paint is so wrong I think it's kinda cool haha.

dont now yet, i think planet X says 32mm

I've 32mm Marathons on mine right now and there's certainly space for larger - particularly at the front. At the rear I'd say there's a 3 millimeters each side clearance.

temporary wheels are ready!

mavic 29er front wheel and sram x9 rear.

28mm gatorskins and ultegra 10spd casette.

Sorry for bad photos, we got our fista workshop back in 2 weeks, then things will happen with the project and the pictures ;)

Picked up brakes today, and spokecards are ready for tomorrows race :)

Picked up some chainrings this week.

52t narrow wide sram for work action and a 46t stronglight for touring.

Really nice crank !

SLR + thomson elite.

this is shapin up mad nice

Finally we got or Fista workshop back, they have renovated the house we are renting in for like 5 months now.

But today it was the big day and we got the access back!

I started a little tonight to move all my bikes down to the garage, and down there i find a "hybrid" fork that looked pretty good on the kaffenback framset.

Now things can start happen with this project!

Rad workshop. Is it part of a business or just shared by some friends?
