Klein Quantum Pro "Karma Chameleon" build

Is kinda pointless right? Since you're big and will be moving at speed, on flat circuits surely you should be going aero. And not archetypes on this.

Yeah, this might be true. But less mass in wheels is quicker in the sprint no? So a middle-of-the-road wheelset.

And I think this needs some 32mm carbon clinchers. Not as lairy as @Dammit wants it I reckon but still..

Hope rims are FUCKING SHITE

That's proper fucked. Call Hope and give them some shit.

Quicker to accelerate I think but the gainz are slim compared to aerodynamics

When I had 50mm carbon clinchers on my condor it was like a rocket ship. Go big or go home.

Deeper rims are stiffer, if your crit racing involves sprinting then it would make sense.

Personally I think they'd look great, which is why I'd do it.

A-Force AL33 if you want v aero but alloy? My set with bitex hubs and c-xray come in at a smidge under 1500g,

Nah, the weight savings are minimal from a 30 to a 50mm carbon rim. But you'll get a stiffer, stronger, more aero wheel. The only times I wish for less than 50 are descending exposed roads with strong winds, but you won't get that in a crit.
Most importantly, they look better and do a nice hum sound.

I'm looking at a couple of wheel options.

But I wonder if 28mm wide rims would work between the chainstays. Any input on that @adroit?

And the max recommended weight on the Farsport one's are 40kg lower than lightbicycle. Why's that?

And why I opt for 38mm is just because I don't really fancy the look on 50mm ones.
I think they're too deep and just looks too bulky.

.

My later Quantum can't fit modern wide rims, they rub the chainstays, that's why I stuck with the Zipp 202 tubs.

Good shout @Dammit. What's the width of the 202 tubs?

Googled; 22.61mm outer width.

So I might need to scrap the idea for clincher then. Potential PITA.

Buy my Reynolds? Cheap! They're 41mm

Hit my inbox with some numbers and pics please. :)

Its well-loved, ridden and looked after.

Good evening everyone.
I'm assembling a 1998 Quantum Pro.
I found the frame and the fork that belonged to two different owners.
I would like to mount a 1 "1/8 headset thanks to a Cane Creek seat post shim that goes from 27.2 to 28.6mm.
The problem is that I miss the bearing cap that rests above the upper steering tube bearing.
Would any of you know how I could solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

I have no idea how that will work.
As far as I know you need a reset headset reducer,

Thank you, but I am looking for a solution simply to mount a FSA bearing cap (or another brand) over the upper bearing and place the shims on it up to the stem.

I forgot to specify that the fork is an Aeros Carbon and the tube measures 1 "1/16

You need to take that question to CP mate.

Where?

You need to take that question to CP

Thanks

Made me chuckle. Rep.

Lovely klien. I want the weather to improve so I can get mine out. Are there enough klien owners here for a klien group ride.
