Current Projects chat and miscellany

Do you have any photos of that KG233 built up?

My new bike:

Pelago Sibbo, with a few bottle bosses added. One to the seat tube to get the cage lower to have space for a half frame bag, and then that third cage under down tube and for low rider rack on the fork. Or cages on the fork with a full frame bag. Will be used for ultracycling/audaxes etc. and bike camping and whatever. Mostly with 28mm tyres, but will fit at least 40mm for winter and gravel.

How is the shifting with 11 speed unindexed? could imagine it being a bit finicky?

It works perfectly

@dbr no it's not a current project do not like it enough

Rad!

Cross post from a brake lever thread. Gutted a pair of old ergos, ran the cables through a jtek cable doubler (model S for road brakes) and rewrapped the bars. Point being I can now use any lever to control the front brake, plus no more tingly fingers from the tektro levers I was using before.

I've nothing here to measure the real width or height of the tyre but they're Panaracer race type-l evo 3 25mm on 17mm internal rims. Not an awful lot of space under that record front caliper for anything larger.

Not much of a voyage really, I'm in Tochigi-ken each year a few weeks, family visit, much in-laws, many relatives, little cycling.

Perfect !

yours already looks way better than mine, haha, I'm curious of the outcome!

@Gaston Battaglin is such a beauty!

the kind of bike part i could base an entire project on...

Those are fire

cheers man, fluo is only part of the deal tho, still lots of stuff to fuck up with :) will probably be a bit slow build, pretty stressed out with uni rn.

Yea man. Only thing: 94 bcd >>>>>

I saw this picture of these adaptors, but i do not know how many were made and where to get. But maybe as an Inspiration?

Alfine cranks fitted to my new Day One 10

Dropped the ratio down 39x17 but with 35c tyres seems to be a happy ratio. Chain is much quieter, shimano quality chainring helps.

That's a super cool concept! Would be interesting to try, but tough to make pretty i imagine.

Very sophisticated and sensible. Good as always

Bin find, XT M735 components in good condition, year unknown. Looks like a Marin at least.

The cranks are Sugino made Ritchey Logic. Headset is an XTR. Lite stem is fokked sadly.

Manitou 4 shocks are shot so I'm going to bin them again.

Not sure what to do with it tbh.

This will be shortlived and ultimately less useful to me than its old guise but I crossed up my pre-cursa.
Stem has since been raised and flipped.

Thanks !

What fork is that? Looks a pretty good match for the head tube

This looks great, hadn't considered putting a disc fork on a PC, maybe i should buy the one i just sold back!

Any concerns using a front disc on a track frame? I had heard once that some disk frames were strengthened in certain areas to cope with the extra stopping forces a disc can apply but that might just be a myth/or i'm getting my wires crossed/or i'm talking bollocks.
