Whats with the knobs?

That’s the kind of thing I’ll be hoping to find at boot sales in 20 years time....

:0)

Modern version of this innit

Whats with the knobs?

They just hold the domed adaptors into my wheel truing stand, so that it fits thru axle hubs

Aha, carry on.

Can’t see pic

Should be able to now

Hybrid ceramic bearings reduce front and rear wheel rolling resistance to the point of disbelief.

Seems good

The patented sprag clutch design removes the play and clickety–clack of pawls against teeth in the rear hub to silence your coasting.

Heh. Sprag.

Wowza these are nice. Its mind blowing. First time i felt one was on a mtb hanging in a stand with the chain wrapped around the 50t cog and a 28t chainring. Even though 'instant' can't be more or less, it's just SO INSTANT.

Have they managed to get the weight down now?

my rear wheel rolling resistance does not engage my disbelief, maybe my mind needs a ratchet upgrade

Have they managed to get the weight down now?

Nope. There is the slightly lighter alu freehub body version, but the 'lightweight' version is still in development. Doesn't bother me, as the extra 100g or so is offset by the not carrying around 400g of wide range cassette on there

It's still around 1/5th the weight of my current rear hub...

You young people are so cynical

Another step closer

Looking understatedly mean! Love it

I really like these brakes on Talbot MK1, and didn't want to remove them, so got another set for MK2

For those who are interested, a geometry comparison between MK1 & MK2

532 reach
747 stack

gotta be some kind of a record!

532 reach
747 stack

500mm reach
680mm stack

Sorry, there's a lot of measurements on there :-)

oh yeah .. still !

853 DZB tubing wouldn't be available for a downtube that long ( unless they custom draw it for larger orders* ), so I'm hoping the gearbox cage takes up enough of that space to allow it

*I think

Tubes were no longer than 740mm ish before. MK2 is around 780mm

Time to wake this thread from its coma
