Cielo singlespeed 29er

..... hodnocení.....

I like it.

sets fire to dictionary

Hydraulic fluids hate water ;)

The bb7 are a great cable operated brakes, but it does need adjusting every now and then, more than v-brakes generally.

Even a well set-up cable operated brakes cannot water to hydraulic.

got these on my karate monkey, very good indeed

oops
i am more than happy with my BB7's they work as well as any disc i have ridden# stopping power top notch .... do they heat and loose efficiency then ?
maybe i haven't used them in extremis then

#haven'triddenanyotherdiscbrakeitmustbesaid#

I destroyed my bb7's utterly in about one year.

I changed to hydraulic and never looked back. Loads more modulation, and enough stopping power to actually stop me on a descent!

brooks on an mtb, it will be ruined from all the wet mud flying up at it

Yup, I agree.

I also love the Aliante way too much to live without it.

However, the Brooks will look awesome for the short life that it leads.

look at the fizik tundra - its the mtb version of the Arione

How about going for a wider rim? I've just got some Velocity P35s on my single speed 29er and couldn't be happier. Running WTB Exi Wolf 2.3 at a nice low pressure, and its been wonderful, great grip, and enough baloon to take the sting out of the trails. Shamless photo time.

If I was building a 29er, I'd probably run either the P35s (tubeless) or 44mm Snowcats.

I never got on with the Arione though, yet the Aliante I always found to be near perfect. Unless something very surprising happens I'll be running an Aliante before the year is out (2012).

Brooks is all kind of wrong... don't do it!

Just get an old Flite off of ebay for pennies (example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sella-Italia-Flite-classic-saddle-black-/220922731711?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3370055cbf#ht_530wt_51). If you don't like it, you've not lost much.

There is a reason that they were the only saddle you saw on high end mountain bikes for a decade.

You make a good point and much as I like flights I know think this:


goes with this:

Gobi wingflex for sure, there's thousands of them kicking about on eBay

It's the saddle...it should be whichever one you're most comfortable on!
I haven't read the rest of this thread, but is this going to be a bike to look at or one to ride off road on?

oh, and it's gobi wingflex for me too. ;]

Flites go with everything, that Cielo included

not that flite ^^^ ! all I think of looking at that is bum sweatz, don't think I could bring myself to touch it during fitting never mind ride it....

Tatty saddles are fine. It's not bum sweaty, it's just scuffed. Shoe polish would sort most of that out.

I have a new gobi wing flex available, PM if you are interested, also have a 350mm 31.6 layback Lapierre pro seat post, both off this bike

Flickwig how much are you asking? This guy seems to be selling super cheap: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fizik-Gobi-XM-Wingflex-Manganese-NYLON-SHELL-Saddle-/290614926246?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item43a9ffdba6#ht_2503wt_1189

£36, that seller is a bit dodgy as they don't come with packaging neither does mine because it was a one off from a bike, but i'm not selling lots on ebay, so to me it seems a little odd.

Back of a lorry methinks.

OEM channel, he pretty much says so in the terms.

Switched the Brooks stuff out.

Grips: ODI Rogue in black
Saddle: Fizik Aliante Gamma XM in black

The Gobi is not for my bum or back at all.
