MAJs gay bikes [she’s in her fitness era]

100% custom.

Why 28-hole? You’d be limiting the already slim 26” pickings even further…

How wide you thinking, and which kinda tyre size you looking at?

The obvious choices are Velocity Dually (v chodeish & heavy) / Cliffhanger, Dartmoor Tomcat (cheap & cheerful), Stan’s MK4 Arch/Crest (best width:weight ratios but spenny).

Or full Light Bicycle Recon crabon if you feel to scratch that itch…

If you are going custom I would recommend a hub dynamo. It totally goes against the idea of saving weight but it’s a great way to sink in more money. It doesn’t stop at the actual hub. Think about all the bouji lights you can pick from.

i could save 20g in spokes! but you're right, there is no rims to choose from and it makes used ubs harder

thank you for suggestions, the vapour is still the lightest at 415g, it is a bit narrower and uglier tho

@Oddo it will not have dyno's sadly, it's specifically for riding between the BST months

homer might get one....one day

What about a carbon fork? I only suggest this as I must admit the guiding principles for the build for this bike are a bit hazy so feel comfortable doing so, and if you want to save a shitload of weight would absolutely help. Could find one that works and then since you have Hulsroy on speeddial (little Boomer joke there for you) he could tweak the geo to suit. Maddess right? But the Marge concept doesn't seem to have instinctive boundaries

looks at you in grant peterson

could something like this work.

damn. who knew maths wasn't just vibes based

Hahaha

Vapour is only 21mm internal…

…but I’m running 2.8” wide 26” Rangers on 23mm rims and it’s fine, so whatevs tbh.

What about a carbon fork?

Agreed, a Lauf would be perfect

I believe they're @platypus approved too

Hahaha #rep

i've spent all evening trying to talk her out of the halo rims, someone please fill in

Needs polished velocity doesn't it

it does, or the simworks version which is already in the uk with sam, him likely willing to make a cracking deal.

or these LBs if she insists on the cheugy black, or absolute minimum stans crest

you have the admin privileges on the trello board to set these as fixed parameters i believe?

There is a Trello board? I am team not-those-Halo-rims. Need something wider.

with privileges comes responsibility

Just bought a wheel set with those Dartmoor tomcat rims and they seem quite nice.
Modern rounded profile helps to hide you're on 26...
Will report once they arrive.
Also thanks for the billy bonkers recommendation everyone, new bike for partner needs a bit of profile and they look ok.

@Maj buy some nice rims!

At least I think that's the gist of it.

@launchpadboi back to you, I've done my deputising duties.

36 holes, useless hubs, but the rhyno lite look like rims looked back when I was young.

polished velocity

This plz^

Rhyno Lites are only lite compared to Sun's other rims

exscuse me, but this meme says i'm right and you're all wrong?

Fair

enjoying the great rim wars

Unwanted 26" xc wheelsets on eBay is the real thing. Stan's Crests are like 350g per rim
