Bit confused, but black alligator outers are fine too, have got those on my road bike, and looking to swap out the nokon on the cx eventually for same reason as you anyway. Will PM about posting.

My inability to get replacement liners

I got spare liners from here

http://www.dulight.fr/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=12&products_id=1256

.. because there was enough "cable outer" to do more then the one bike. Great service but high postage cost unless you're getting a lot of bits at the same time and spread the cost across parts.

Last piece of the jigsaw

Di2?

Seeing as they're mentioned here... Which is supposed to be the best out of Nokon, Alligator and Powercordz?

Also, looking forward to seeing this one finished. It's been a good read. A+++++++++ etc.

Nokon and Alligator can both be tricky to get spares for. If you find somewhere that has the liners is stock then buy extra while you can. I've seen a noticeable improvement in braking over regular cables using nokon on several different bikes, but haven't tried my Alligator set-up yet (bought cheaps from China off eBay). In terms of quality of the actual pieces, Alligator seem better overall to me, the paint finish on my white nokon is cheap and nasty but my black nokon looks ok. The instructions that both systems provide for setting up the links and using the right connectors are next to useless, the nokon guide is particularly bad (bizarre translations, unhelpful pics), watching installation vids on youtube is more helpful.

Thanks for this! I've just started reading about Yokozuna on WW now though. It got a pretty good write-up. Hmmmmm... Torn.

Latest pictures of the frame? Is it finished?

The frame is finished. It's going to get painted/decal'd/lacquered v. soon so will show pics then.

Can't wait!

This is probably my most anticipated CP...

Just glued the tubs. Made a right fucking mess

Bump.

Any progress on this?

Some... F+F has gone to specialist finisher for special finishing

He/She sent me photo of fork.

looking good

What's special about the finish? Is it coz it's shiny?

lovely and glossy, and after the sanding etc i was not sure how it would turn out

am sure it will look great once decals are applied

I really would not trust that fork at all. Carbon reacts very differently to cracks than steel etc. If the crack gets moisture on it from the inside, it will loosen the weave...

Good point!

Thanks for the input

was there even a crack on the fork?
this is a pretty ambitious project.
