  • Race bike needs replacing with something with more stack that's more versatile.

    The rules, it must be;

    • mediocre at everything,
    • take mudguards,
    • disc brakes, because modulation and
    • 1x is the new fixed.
      Optionally it could run tubeless tyres to be fully on-trend compliant.

    Thanks to some decent sale shopping, we have so far;

    1. Kinesis 4S frameset
    2. SRAM Rival 1 flatmount hydraulic levers/brakes
    3. Hunt 4 Season disc wheel set

    Current gearing plan is 1x with a 48t and 11-32 cassette for racing, 11-36 for more lethargic riding.
    Photos and build to follow.

  • Were the hunt 4 season disc wheels purchased at a sale price? You happy with them?

    Actually, you’ve probably not ridden them so ignore second part of question...

  • Purchased on sale as lightly used but were as good as new.

    Have done one CX race on them as they were not originally for this. So far, happy for the price paid.

    They are £299 at the moment which is a decent price. I do however also own Hope 20FIVE S-Pulls which I prefer and would pay the extra, despite Hope providing no frills, not even skewers.
