  • strange .. @6pt 's forks are flat mount ..

    Should be a good build, weigh it for teh lols.

  • Mine is ex-display and the V1 model apparently.
    For the lols? Shouldn't be too heavy...

  • Stuff and things.

  • Does anyone know if the v2 fork can be had seperately?

  • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cracked+hope+hub&espv=2&biw=1418&bih=776&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWzLvGurTPAhUoLMAKHZJ0CRAQ_AUIBygC#tbm=isch&q=cracked+dt+swiss+hub

    Some hubs crack, the best thing about both Hope and DT Swiss is they are likely to repair them under warranty, should they fail.

    Don't get Novatec, mainly because they are so difficult to service.

  • subbed. Looks like a great build.

    @amey Any reason beyond price to go with the velocity rim over the Pacenti s25 for 20mm width on the DTswiss 350s?

  • Is Kleber building your bike?

  • He is indeed. Well, the stuff I don't know ie discs. Very local to me.

  • I used to cross the whole of London to get work done. He's very good, I'd leave the whole thing to him.

  • I can put my own tyres on goddammit!

  • Say hi from me when you go and pick up your bike!

  • Gravel Kings on the way from CRC, should be all set when they arrive.

  • I'm looking forward to this build!!

  • Don't get Novatec, mainly because they are so difficult to service.

    Ever serviced a Pro 2 Evo? It's pretty much the same.

    That said, I discovered this neat trick. Paying Soho Bikes to do it.

  • Hub discussion thread >>>>>>>

  • Hum hum hum.

  • No internal routing on your fork? The SRAM stuff looks nice, do regret going Shimano a little.

  • Wut? 15mins max

  • Nah. V1 F&F sadly.
    All looks nice apart from the Rival rear mech which looks pretty cheap to me.

    Stem needs a flip and an acetone.

  • Almost there.

  • I'm still waiting on my mudguard bridge :( did yours come with, or did he send it out to you after?

  • I asked at the time and they forgot. So asked again and it came along. Tidy solution.

  • I emailed and he said he'd pop it in the post but it didn't turn up so I chased and no reply, gonna give him a call tomorrow I guess. It's the last piece of the puzzle for mine :(

  • HUNT wheels look nice! What tyre width have you gone with and what do they measure at their widest on the rim? Mudguard looks toight!

  • Not measured but they are 26mm Gravel Kings front and rear. Rims are wide but not madly. Front is at its absolute limit. Reckon there is some wiggle room on the rear though, could sneak a 28.
