Spotter cross

I'll bring it to you for some Danish level headed leveling.

New forks, and front hub replaced with a DT Swiss 350, better pix to follow.

Nice Scooter Boss

DT Swiss 230

Ha, well spotted! Corrected now.

Really pleased with how well the new forks match, they looks perfect. They're also much stiffer too!

Currently with WTB Nano

Need to get a DT Swiss 350 straightpull rear to match the front next.

In the mean time 650b rims for £7 was too cheap to say no, so I'm building a monster cross/all road wheelset on the cheap.

Thinking of getting this painted something like RAL 7046

I would get matching hubs so you dont have to fuck about with your brakes every time you change wheels

Do you mean matching rotors? I had already planned to get some XT ones as they've been excellent on my genesis

If not I don't have the money for a second set of 350's for a wheel set I'll only use as a secondary pair. Those Novatec hubs were were half the price of the rear 350 costs on trade!

He means matching hubs. Different hubs will put the rotor in a slightly different position, so each time you change the wheel, you have to faff around to get the rotor centred again.

Added: it's a 2 minute job most of the time, it's just not something you'd want to do in the middle of a race. If you were that way inclined.

What andyp said. Even similar rotors wont help. If hydraulics then itll be quick but I wouldnt bother if using cabled/spyres

I'm using hydraulic so no issue

I'd be interested to see if those rims arrive with eyelets. They don't appear to have them in the Planet X pics but from what I can tell they should have them.

They're not, this is my third pair. I wouldn't worry though, they're excellent.

Cool. Thanks. Just got to wait for my frame to arrive to check clearances.

Just got hydraulic rival shifters (thanks again @Jon. ) So I may as well paint the frame and forks at the same time. Annoyingly the hubs have arrived but they're in my work so I won't be able to get them till I'm back probably.

Off to paint, this colour

Rear wheel now rebuilt to a DT swiss 350 straight pull. Quite a weight saving from the old hub...

Alas I haven't heard anything from the painter.

aw yisss

Nice base coat

Is it built yet? Pics please.

Not built, forks are still drying on my radiator.
@Hulsroy can you imagine painting a cx a pale colour like that? mad
