Concorde Track - HHSB build

Sick! I have some here that I keep meaning to put on the pendle.

I love the purple grips actually..
What colour bartape on the HWYs?

Purple.

yes mate

Green surely?! Will go nice and matchy matchy with the logo's...

Gonna look sick either way, like indra said, don't think there's anything i'd change on this build :)

so what spokes are in rear cosmic?

Double reduced DT Comp.

It's flexy so I ordered another rear hub with bladed slots.

its flexy cause of spoke count, i assume bladed spokes wont help you.

Bladed spokes are a lot more rigid in the lateral so it can withstand the torsion somewhat better. I snapped a spoke last night and the wheel went out of true. Will have to throw that on my lbs again and fit a brake when it's done ha!

with a 16 spoke count you have 4 spokes to carry tourque and 4 following spokes on one side. thats not much to catch the force of a fixed drive train!

Indeed it isn't. Having flexyflexy DT spokes that aren't rigid enough is just butter. CX Ray will make things stiffer.

Also, Omega V wheels will be built next month

Minor update with a DA 7410 post.

So fucking good man, this bike a keeper.

Yeah, never selling this. (if I don't have too)

Straight up HHSB porn!

27.2 keeps slipping and if I was to venture a guess I'd say that the Columbus Brain OS is 27.4 in dia.

Also, new wheels tomorrow.

Carbon assembly paste

Yeah, saw the GCN video about that. Might have a go if I can find any locally.

Edit*

Just read more and nope, will not put that on my DA 7410 post as it will fuck it up. Chalk on the other hand...

Edit2

Maybe...

Maybe it's the top of your seatpost slipping, i'm serious

beer can (argually better then coke can) shim. works a treat.

my gazelle had issues of slippage; mostly due to mangled clamp ears.

27.4 ordered went in 4cm; beer can shim saved the day!

but i'm curious what you mean bonor.. you in the "don't trust 7410 seatposts"-camp?

Your concorde is in great shape, very nice build !

but i'm curious what you mean bonor.. you in the "don't trust 7410 seatposts"-camp?

i got one, it broke. Firmly in the camp

cut off bottom part…..
