  • Wound up

    I don't like the look of the fatter alpinas on skinny steel frames, they look good on tm's because he has oversized tubes.

    And rake wise i reckon that's pretty much bang on, you can measure with a plumb line but it's nigh on impossible to measure acccrately without a specialist jig

  • if you don't buy the aforementioned wound ups please do let me know so I can buy them!

  • thinking about going Ahead on this.

    decisions are : get converter.

                        patiently wait for a 1inch Alpina. 
                        wound up. (my dads mate is selling a threadless 1inch)
    

    how can i work out my fork rake?
    wound up is 35mm. reckon thats much shorter or longer than the current?

    Option C.. buy woundup, trade with me....

  • think wound up may be the option then i guess.
    craziness.... depending on price obviously

  • If you can go woundup there quality

  • Woundups! Was thinking about them for the dave myself..

  • I guess I'll have £350 once I sell gangsta this weekend.
    some of that can go towards them

  • Selling the Gangster? Not riding it much?

  • its not built up.
    cant really afford to just have it sitting on a shelf doing nowt.

    prefer proper track frame geo

  • Why would you go ahead? It's bang on right now..

  • ease of swapping cockpits.
    prefer it to quill.
    carbon fork is boss

  • Swapping cockpits with a quill is easier ;).

  • touché.

    i also just prefer Ahead i guess.
    and i wont get rid of the current fork so i could definitely swap back if wanted

  • Wound Up is being dealt with soon.
    Decision made.

    EXCITEMENT.
    Anyone have a shim I can buy?
    Also feel I may get one of those Atomic22 things for the headset compressor bolt as I'd die if I lost this fork.

  • im doing something similar with the bridgestone and some 1inch ec90s. what's the cockpit saying?

  • Integralter or gtfo ...

  • Canny find them.
    Gimme yours yeah Tom?

    Thomson 100mm and wide risers for fun shredding.
    And then a 90 with compacts.

  • Nah man, there are plenty out if there if you have a look, I found like 3 more pairs after I bought mine. I've barely used mine, have been waiting for a build with 1" ahead.

  • where? i canny find nowhere

  • Pretty sure I gave you heads up you said you couldn't afford them at the time?

  • yeah i couldnt ):
    just gimme yours yeah bro

  • Earn some of your own...

  • I have earnt them.

  • TM, do you know of any more? i'l be using compacts with sram hoods and a brake (!) but some integralters would make a sick-ass secondary bar/stem setup.

  • Just post a wanted ad or bump mine, did the trick for me and poof...
