Current Projects chat and miscellany

Tore through an 11 speed chain link last night :(
Was looking at the product description for the coupling pins and it says:

Warning! This pin is only to be used when assembling a new chain using the external link (permanently identified by the stamped production batch number).
Joining the chain in any other location may result in an accident, personal injury, or death.
This pin cannot be used to join a snapped or broken chain.

I snapped and severed the link with the "external" Date stamped link. Does this mean trying to join the chain with any other external link wont work? Too my eyes the date stamped last link look the same as the others but then again I failed to join this chain properly in the first place :|

Did you peen the chain after you originally joined it?

That aside, the correct fix is here

I peened it as best I could but it probably wasnt peened enough. That is brilliant thank you!

KMC do full chains as well as the split links. Treat yourself to a gold chain:

cracking Look

Yes. Yes yes.

That gold chain would look great on the LOOK above,

i think?

My wants for my TF project is spiralling out of control and I can't afford everything.

Custom Dart Frame (pretty sure im going with black but with white outlined decals), easton ea50 finishing kit (potentially ea50 compacts and risers), SG75s, Flite, using the wheels i have leftover for now, they'll be a later upgrade.

I really wanna splash out on Enve forks since its an option and the frame custom price doesn't include the standard forks so I'd be paying for forks either way...

go second hand, with your requirements getting some strongly cut enve woudl totally pay off mate.

Finding some is impossible and Id only want 40mm rake too

40mm rake? What you building, a tourer?

Buy my 75s....

enve forks on a Dart - lipstick on a pig

Custom dart though, we don't know what tubing he's getting...

Not sold on the custom dart idea though really.

custom Dart? Pig in a tailored suit.

Custom: Rourke, Roberts, etc etc etc pls

^^^^ Already have 75s

^^ Why?

^ Dart is way cheaper than them and the geo works well for me being a midget

Fox in a pig suit surely?

Pig is a pig.

Possibly pig in a fox suit..

If you can afford Enve forks, you can afford a proper custom frame from Rourke or Roberts, surely?

SG75s

Get the Planet X external BB while they're cheap, much better.

^^ nice :)

^^ nice :)

haha I know

Custom dart + enve is cheaper than the base price of any rourke or robers frames

Get the Planet X external BB while they're cheap, much better.

As said I already had them :)

best of both worlds is custom dart in zona for a little more dorrah
