Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

Their market isn't us, it's professional track cyclists.

Who luckily don't have to pay for their own parts. I'm tempted to get a Gigas cog, just to have one ludicrous top-end part on my bike...

this is what makes them that price, whether they warrent it or not is another question.

Shimano zens are nicer anyway

But to be fair I fail to see what in the manufacture process of a chainring made of METAL would warrant such a high price tag, Japanese hipster tax?

What's wrong with metal?

for dirty and cheerful street riding Id go for 44rn any day tbh

although with all this being said I reckon suginos and shimanos and what not are now easier to get than 44rns...

Nothing it's just for that price I'd expect some space age carbon shizzz.
Metal's great but it shouldn't be that expensive, well not aluminium!

^^ 47t is shit, they're ugly imo, as you said just as hard to get/pricey now anyway

degustibus, as people say

what is not subject to opinion though is they're quiet as hell

Nah, 47x17 = win.

50x18 = win

47 or 53 chainring are the aficianados choice.

anything else and you can GTFO with your puny skid patches.

52x19 you got 19 patches
47x17 you got 17 patches

Yes, I rep that 53-18

Piddly chainring :(

Oblig it's DA10 pitch comment

Would be nice if it was, but it's not..

IIRC the S3 cubic chainrings are milled to a higher tolerance than other chainrings. Meaning they are rounder.

S3 Cubic is machined to 0.05mm tolerance and coated in the S3 formula with an electrochemical dip

Standard Zen is machined to 0.5mm tolerance but not coated in S3.

I guess this ring is expensive due to the manufacturing process and the fact that so many top athletes have proved how good it is for it's intended use.

New rims and chainring on my Brascona. I'm nearly completely happy with the set up... nearly!

47x17

Jesus thats stealth

Love it. Are Brascona framesets being/ever going to be sold?

as Patrick said in the Impetus talk, possibly, but not currently.

What's the weight of the Brascona?
