The Klein CAAD12

I've got a lovely pair of 50mm carbon wheels sat for some reason unused which will be replacing those imminently exploding death wheels

don't really like the caad7 even being one of my all time favourite frames...

Le qué?

Shit fixie skidderz say >>>>

seems to make the pinnacle superfluous

Superfluous bikes are the best

but you won't go hydro?

Mostly I won’t go Shimano

Campag hydro would be a great choice.

Don’t try to derail this any more than it already is

he is not wrong though

I dislike Campag more than Shimano but at least Shimano have been making disc brakes for many years. Would not buy campag disc mk1

Also he is wrong

Carbon cranks and cable discs is fur coat no knickers. Like Gatorskins on Zipp 404s.

Sounds like fun to me.

You monster

Ordered DA cables on the recommendation of Morgan, latex air pipes, Sram chain. Hopefully picking up bb30 gubbins from Howard soon and I need some bar tape then all systems build. Next weekend it should be done. Finally.

But then I have to pick bottle cages...

Celebratory finishing our bikes ride?

Screw you all! And screw @dancing james especially. In an unprecedented, ground breaking experiment, the worlds first* cable actuated disc braked caad12 is born!

*probably not

Massive thanks for the suggestion of DA9000 cables @MechaMorgan it literally wasn’t possible with other compressionless cables.

There appears to be a message in your BB shell

Eeesh. I don't envy you doing that with the BB30 crankset installed

It’s tight for sure. Doesn’t leave much space in the shell for the cables but I could take the cranks out to get my hands in
