Current Projects chat and miscellany

I have been given some tyres that require hooked type rims and the original weinmann rims that are on my carlton will not take them, i cant seem to find any new rims that will fit a 12 speed hub, help please!

how long do they last when skidding?

eh? so long as the spoke count is the same any rim will match any hub

You wanna sell your old wheels?

+1 rubinos

ah I see. is it a screw on freewheel or a cassette? by 12 speed I presume you mean 6 sprockets at the rear and 2 chainrings at the front?

if it's a screw on then any old wheel with a hub threaded for a freewheel will be fine

Spend £65 and get some Campag Omega V sections from campyoldy black or silver look like this

I was wondering what rims they were... I've only seen them without stickers on.
May just do that... birthday's coming up.

I'm going to say that the wolbers are equal if not superior in quality.
however I have black omega Vs currently and the guy from campyoldy is a good bloke, really fast delivery, and they are just the sex.

You wanna sell your old wheels?

I may do... but not just yet, they'll probs be on sale by the end of July.
Don't exactly want to stop riding whilst I'm saving up ages for new wheels...
need rims, hubs and spokes.... have no money, and would sell my wheels for 80...
which means not the biggest budget.

Thinking of getting some new wheels for the bike, any suggestions?

(saddle has been swapped for iscaselle and isn't in that position any more!)

What kidna style you looking for?
CPX33's would look nice.
Or rear silver h+Son and front CPX33.

^ cxp 33 + goldtecs would be my choice.

"any suggestions?"
sod the new wheels buy a bike that fits you. you must have bruises on your elbows and knees from riding that thing.

Dont put an Hplus on there bro.

MrSmith, do you ever say nice things about other peoples bikes?

He's not criticising the bike... just the owner for being too tall.

:p

Freestyle Sharpie on frame . . .

Was kinda toying with the idea of freehanding some graphics onto my frame inspired by this
drawing on canvas I did for my girlfriend.

Was going to have a go on my Bareknuckle but still undecided. Will probably wait until the next time I strip it.

Thoughts?
Anyone want some custom doodles on their steel?

Looks good on H+sons.

That looks fucking sweet.

Stay away from my frame though!

Donut! that is awesome, do it. even on a H+son it would look rad..

MrSmith, do you ever say nice things about other peoples bikes?

yes. but is that really such a bad thing to say about that bike when it's obviously too small? maybe i should have been extra helpful and given a number of a chiropractor or physio

ha!
