Put on a Mavic Starfish crank, 520 piste hubs on the CXP12's and ride the crap out of it.

Needs more Mavic.

Starfish will go to this one

thanks

seattube is 63c-c 67c-t, think the tt is 60cm and 22cm headtube

i had tried this, but it was pretty noisy, and the plug kept pulling away from the fork when tightening the top cap bolt. have you tried using a 1'' star nut?(assuming the steerer is 1 1/8'').
that's what i ended up doing for my alpina when 1 1/8 didn't fit.

Jheez and I thought my Cannondale was pretty big...

Surely a 1 inch star nut would be smaller than a 1 1/8th?

Ive ordered a Hope so i'll see if it works. Will rough up the inside the the steerer and use grip paste everywhere, hopefully it wont creak or slip

sorry! i read your post wrong, not sure what i was thinking. i was able to ride with the compression plug in an alloy steerer, perhaps not the safest, but it does work.

Finished my Ritchey P Team mtb for next weekends Grand Raid in Switzerland.

Oof. That frame is superb.

Dutty build dat.

Thanks. Never felt tempted to buy 27,5 or 29 inchers so when this frame was sold for half the price at Wiggle (last november), I didn't hesitate. The Grand Raid will be it's maiden trip offroad.

Wait untill you see it with the white Sid XX. ;-)

(thanks for the compliment BTW).

Mooie fiets @WimVDD :)

Dream mtb frame

28h Crest on M900 XTR hub - will it handle a bar bag and two small panniers up front?

She approves of the new whip!

So sick

M900 XTR hubs are grand, I have a rear wheel with that on my touring bike, over a decade old and still working fine.

If the rims you mention are the superlight stan ones, I suppose it all depends on how heavy you are yourself, the extra load may push them over the limit. But I have no experience with them myself...

Hello you horrible lot, its been a while..
currently riding this, i really like it.

going to try making this ridable for my boy!
