SSCX Only!

What are my options for brakes if I wanted to run this as an SSCX thing? Tektro R559 or something like that with good clearance? Don't want to do fixed rear.

With different forks I hope

Indeed, got a spare set doing nothing that'll take cantis and big tyres. Just after something that I can rip about town on and that frame's on eBay fairly cheap

I've already got a 26" frankenbike thing for a runabout but thinking of turning that into a Surly-Troll-style rack monster and getting a faster SS 700c thing for when I don't need to carry anything around

centre pull brakes will give you good clearance.

In principle this is nice, but the end result just misses the mark. Tbf maybe bartape swap and a nicer photo and it would be there.

Change of wheels... pedant.

Thinking of building new wheels for my SSCX build. Rim brakes, would like rear to be fixed/free and rims to be low profile. I’ll be using 35max tyre, mostly road use, odd bit of off road.
No idea on rims (which hole option?), hubs, spokes.
Recommendations?

Tb14

Kinlin XR22T, DT Swiss 460

Pacenti Brevet 700c

What kind of rear spacing are you using?

120mm

Kinlin adhn, similar but cheaper

Oh yeah they’re nice, good call. TB14s are stupid money for what they are.

Thanks for the advice people.
Really like the look of TB14s but as mentioned above -they’re not the cheapest.
Those Kinlin ADHN look great value for money. 32 holes front and rear?
Any suggestions on hubs and spokes? Only fixed/free hubs I had long enough to actually have an opinion on were the Novatec ones, they were great. Anything better out there that’s quite easily available in black and of similar value for money?
Which spokes?

Any suggestions on hubs and spokes?

Get anything you want, you can't go wrong with 32 spokes.

Alternatives to the Chris king SS disc hub?

Needs to to TA

I used an American classic, was alright, probably lighter

Novatec

Surly hub, 6 bolts, freewheel ?

Hope Pro4 SS/Trials

6 - bolt
Do a conversion to 135*12 or 142*12
