Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

Have you tried g-one speed or just more nobly g-one?

I have the G-ones Pro’s (I think that’s their name) that are slick and soft on SpaceBiek and they are excellent for road use. Fast light and puncture free thus far.

I have only used them in summer mind. No problems running them tubeless on deep sections and I plan to use them for P-R.

For all year round use you may find they cut up a tad, that’s just conjecture though.

I have tried both Ones and I’m generally very happy with them and the only thing that comes to mind is the grip of the Gs wich gives a slightly longer brakeing distance than I expected (overall grip is good sandy/graveld asphalt )

Mine appear to be 'G-One Speeds' having looked at the actual tyre.

This is about the limit of tolerable terrain I rode on them. They didn't actually puncture or get cut after any of this though.

That's clever, thank you, didn't know that

For those of you using cable brakes, did you find the routing for the rear better if you skipped the last cable guide?

Too cold for proper photos in Oslo, but here is current build of Isen #27

Oh wow...

If it works with your brake go for it. Both mine and carens only have one, and neither bike has caught on fire..... yet.

I dunno, monitoring through those little Genelecs in an untreated room like that isn't going to yield good results. I'd stick to listening through the BeyerDynamic DT770 cans he has instead.

Boom! You won the bikes contest! That's fantastic with all its dragonfly painted goodness...

Haha, true but not really doing any critical mixing or monitoring on these. Just part of the krautrock sound system.

Little bits and pieces for testing.

Integrated di2 routing.

Thanks @mdcc_tester for the #bantz #tartmode top cap.

This continues to bring joy. It was perfect today on slushy mucky country lanes. That was until the puncture fairy visited, luckily the loop I was doing was going close to my house so I could get home on a fairly flat tyre after sealant had done its work.

will be visiting @scherrit soon just to confirm fit before chopping steerer.
ugly bars have quite a lot of flex, which is good on our shit local roads

if anyone is thinking about buying one of these, do it

Nice! No dynamo?

All these isen's look so great and fun.

i have awesome exposure lights already so can't justify a dynamo. the lights on in the pictures are the cycliq cameras. at night they are supplemented with exposure strada and blaze lights

Nice!

What version of the G-ones are those 650b Allround or the speed?

speed iirc

Looks great James! What's the chsinring/spider set up you have going on there?

Rotor cranks with power2max meter that has the new shimano chainring bolt pattern.
