  • I used a set of valencias for a while. I found them really uncomfortable when run the right way up, but they were great when run upside down. I used an o/s crosstop lever fitted right next to the stem. It really wasnt ideal and if i still had the bars on now i'd run a TT lever at the end of the bar seen as you pretty much put your hand on the ends when riding them.

  • no idea about bars, but the wheels are:

    • zenith/formual hubs
    • mavic CXP22 rim
    • ACI double butted spokes

    they cost £110.

    Sorry if I missed something.

    That's great someone who can read... ;0)

  • Sorry. I think what I meant is if you're asking about what the wheels are like you have the ans. there.

    Reading/searching of this forum and the web tells you everything you need to know...

    ...how much the seperate parts cost (so you know if its a good deal)

    ...what each of the parts are lke (so you know if they're any good)

    If you want to know what Dave Hinds is like...

    EDIT: re the brakes - I'd have thought you could use any levers with the Froggleg's as they look like normal canti's. You just need to make sure they fit the bars ("diameter measures Ø24")

  • Try Graham Weigh cycles - complete wheels for £75 - basic hubs, nothing special. There's also the Halo Aerorage wheels for £120.
