Can some one link me to some wide low profile light weight rims? i'm struggling a bit here...

This is probably the widest / lightest rim you will find:

Kinlin XR19W Clincher Rim - 21mm - 406 grams

Does anybody know of any double pedal straps that aren't leather? Ideally not too expensive.

mikashima (mks) suede alpha are sold for 40quid on planet x
they are same as njs ones, very durable

...but not vegan.

actually 40 quid odd is quite a lot for straps only
mechanical_vandal had some worth recommending apparently
we had a small banter in one FS thread with the mks njs straps

Drunken ebaying in the pub - always a good idea :|

Thanks.

...but not vegan.

you're planning on eating them?

^^^ what on earth

you're planning on eating them?

the question was for straps that aren't leather. therefore vegan.
I don't know the OPs reasons tho.

I don't think not leather = vegan.

BLB do some nylon doubles, but they're quite pricy for what they are. I made my own, if you have access to a sewing machine and a few scraps of material it's very easy.

Also turns out you can already buy something along the same lines as what I made for £12. http://fingerprintdistribution.bigcartel.com/product/black-yanco-cordura-velobinds-pair

well..

wow.

Yeah I'm vegan. Those blb ones do seem a bit steep but there's no way I have the skills to make my own, ha ha.

I was going to bid on one of these for a dodgy summer/beach run around but then I got tanked and forgot / csb

Should have just bought mine!

this was 14 quid posted ;)

What's the plan Joe?

Here's a pic of my Felt 4130 probably gonna be tossed together for the meantime while im waiting for an ebay fork that was ordered for my luggly yellow one

Tequesta...

Any bike with a name like a guest on the Jerry Springer is automatically awesome.

skrtluv, that Felt seems like the only decent frame you have, should just sell everything and turn that into a decent bike, could turn out quite nice if you put the effort in, you know it makes sense.

Is anyone using classic style drop bars with Dura Ace 7900 hoods or Shimano hoods of the same ilk? Want classic drops but one person's advice is that he found the transition annoying just wanted other opinions

like this?

bit stretched to brake but i found it comfier to hold over compact drops personally
