Moser Leader AX - 1994 Hour record

Wouldn't a front disc be way too wide for a good chainline? Tbh i think a disc or tri are probably the only options

I sticked together some bin parts just for reference, I took a couple of pictures:

I'd've thought because of the narrow BB? (it looks very narrow from pictures) that any wheel would have chain line issues, but you can dish a spoked wheel appropriately.

The BB shell is 30mm wide :)
Looking at Obree's and Moser's models I can understand that spoked wheels can't be used... But only dished specialized trispokes or disc wheels! Basically I need to find an engineer that can help me with this project :)

you really just need a freewheel disc or trispoke or whatever and space it correctly.

Just got this at LMNH to try on the Moser frame, does it make any sense if I can't go for the chestpad atm?
For sure I need some tt bar ext

I've got a cheap rear Specialized tripsoke here...

it is a road, but i'm sure you could convert it for <£100 and have exactly what you need for sub £200... PM me if interested

100mm rear spacing

I assumed at this point that i can only dish a front spoke/disc wheel...

Better if I ask more clearly, anyone knows where I can have a wheel properly dished in London?

Dishing is adjusting spoke tension to move a rim evenly right or left along an axle. You cant't dish carbon trispoks, but you can space them how you please by adding/removing spacers on the axle to change the distance between locknuts. This is easy and any monkey with a cone spanner can do it.

To use hazzus's wheel you'd also need to swap out the cassette-accepting freewheel for a track-cog-friendly threaded part, which requires finding that part (eBay or the supplier of a LBS) and going to a good LBS or some knowledgable forumenger with some experience of swapping out the bits.

I'm sorry and of course I thought dishing meant something completely different.
My point was actually to thread the aluminium hub of the front trispoke to make the cog sit aprox 2cm from the middle of the wheel, giving me a correct chainline.
Track spokes are a no-no because the thread is way too far from the point I actually need.
I know already how to swap axles between front or back but my concern is that I can only use front wheels given the width of the hub itself.

Yesterday I called the shop in Rome that sold this bike originally and this was a custom order to Moser from a customer that wanted a TT bike with the geo of the Francesco's 1994 hour record bike.
The shop still has a picture of the bike when it was builded but unfortunately they don't have any internet connection to sent it to me.
The guy said they'll try to contact the original owner and ask him to forward to me technical informations and the pictures as well.

Apparently they used an Ambrosio lenticular wheel and they spaced it correctly.
I hope next week I'll have some good news.

Needs risers for ultimate HHSB.

In case of risers I'll need at least a 200mm stem to avoid hitting the bars with the knees :D

Rominger Dual stem... on theme?

deff adds to the weird factor

I really want to solve the rear wheel enigma... I spoke with a lot of people but nobody knows what I can actually do, why did I study art instead of engineering? :(

the rear wheel is dead easy. do it the same way obree did. Ged yourself a threaded freewheel disc/trispoke/ or whatever. (hell go nab an old thread on freewheel road whell from your local co op to try if you dont believe me.) pull the freewheel body and all your spacers. respace to 100mm and tread on a cog and check chain line. if its good. If so bond cog to wheel (spnk offers an adhesive to do this with thre freewheel adapters) its basically the same way you adapt an old disc or specialized tri to a front wheel plus the addition of fitting a cog. then you are done. seriously its actually this simple.

this will work with any erly freewheel, not cassette wheel.

So, I got an old lenticular and the spacing job (thanks to young gun^) was easier than expected.
Anyone has a Dura Ace 7600 crankset (with or without chainring) to sell?
Now the beast looks like this:

Super amazeballs. Keep it up!

you want an mk1 aerospoke for the front so you can have a "matching" wheelset both saying "aero"? <<< more aero. fact.

Life sentence to who'd put an aerospoke on this bike :)

so much rad
