yes I know the chain is half off. It's before I adjusted the length of it.that's really nice sumo, another lovely campagnolo build - what parts?
-
Nearly finished. It's most likely I'll be swapping the Atlanta rims out for some wider Campagnolo ones, to really work well with the Delta brakes.
Word of warning, AVOID brick lane bike hubs. Fuck knows how they do their R&D but the front axle bolt is a 10mm one, their approach to making it fit is to file off all the threads.
Hoods will be black, once the new NOS ones arrive in the post sometime this week.

best current project page ever!

The seemingly never ending Weight Weenie project continues.
I've built an aluminium wheelset for when the weather isn't so carbon/tubular friendly.
Dati hubs (24/28). DT Revolution spokes, brass nipples all round. Kinlin XR-200 rims. Veloflex Master 22mm tyres with Vredestein latex tubes. Planet X carbon/ti quick release skewers. (1340g without tyres, tubes, skewers and cassette)
Weight with new wheels: 5.949kg
Weight with Soul C5.0: 5.940kg
Weight with Planet X tubs: 5.652kg -
^Bmxed- if you are swapping between alloy and carbon pads do yourself a favour and get the EE Cycleworks brake shoes, it turns pad swapping into a ~5 second, tool free job.
I used to swap the pad/shoe assembly over, and that was a massive pain in the arse.
Now swapping the pads is faster than adjusting the QR when I swap wheels over.
-
It's not quite a 5 second job but it doesn't take much time to unscrew the little grub screw and switch pads on my Planet X brake shoes. I won't be swapping the whole pad/shoe assembly every time.
I'll have a look into the EE pad holders they sound pretty neat.How are you finding the EE brakes?
Where did you get them from? I haven't seen any UK shops with them in stock and they rarely seem to pop up on ebay. -

Just picked up the pink panther/pinkondale/pink cannondale.
Save the horrid pedals and saddle, it looks in really good nick.
I'll just have to wait now until next month and then put some sti's, new chainset, new headset/stem/bars/levers. -

Arse, should have checked there first- they have PowerCordz (brake) for quite a lot less than I bought them for.
Bmxed- I got them from a chap on WW, he was replacing them with the same brakes, but in a different colour.

Finally found a decent training/casual/general don't-want-to-spend-a-fortune-but-don't-want-to-ride-a-piece-of-shit-either frame in my size. Price was on the high side of shrewd, but it means that I'll have come across another Campagnolo Record headset (I have three of them now, and only two bikes) which I can sell to offset the cost.

Singlespeed build thread coming - grey MA40 rims on black early 90s 105 hubs, polished early 90s 105 cranks, suede turbo saddle, and all the other unremarkable bits, are already in my bits box. I need to find some brakes as I've only got super-long-drop ones, and I also need to decide what colour bar tape to get (white... ?)
