Current Projects chat and miscellany

if i do i'll get the rims done too but i'm not sure many places have baths that big

Metro have baths big enough for rims

Caustic soda bath?

Wouldn't that dissolve the alu?

oooohhhh, free collection in my area too, seems like a definite for the rims, but for the handlebars i'd be worried about never getting the bars central again...

also tester, isn't there somewhere in Slough you use for you're things? do they have baths big enough?

You dilute it

I use Metro, only just up the road and I'm always passing through Uxbridge.

ah sweet, when i've got things sorted i'll give them a ring to work out the best type for each part

Mavic Cosmic Pro Alu with Mack Superlight 16h at the back (delivery next week)
Ergostem
Riser
Yellow Rolls
Starfish chainset
Platforms/Straps
Big Wald

Got a thing for yellow right now it seems.

53.5 c-c or 59.5 cm c-t which makes it like a 55 ish. 55cm c-c top tube. Which is like a good 4cm less than I usally ride. Oh my word.

This will be fun as hell to ride I think.

Cheers :) hubs arrived yet?

4 cm less?

16h rear is a bit dangerous for street (brakeless or not) IMO

If it worked for cyclists that pushed watts back in 96 it'll work for me no problem. 130kg on the driveside.

Always fun mate

saarf. how long before Cinelli MTB collection overtakes Colnago?
E-stay is brilliant
Tyres look fun - Onza Porcupine?

Yeah, I agree on the silver/black issue but can't be arsed doing a tear down. Many spokes is a needs must as I need a bombproof set - am heavy tall rider. Rim height is hhsb.

If only one spoke broke on a skid you will brake your rim, surly your frame a hopfely not your tooths.
Did you ones change a spoke on a 16h wheel ?

Take strong spokes by the way.
Have a nice day Thrust

No worries, I rarely skid. And I'll use Macs' bladed spokes so it's all good.

494 or 494C?

I think I'll go with the 494. The c is a bit thinner in the middle and is wider right?

Yes, it's flattened even more.

Yeah, don't think I'll need that. Would you recommend them? The price point is pretty good for 20pcs, like 10 quid or so.
