Hulsroy's Hustle

Thinking about converting road bike to disc brakes pt 2:

I have found a pair of selcof cx disc forks on planet X with an axle to crown of 380mm and space for 38c tyres.
This will make my conversion much better in terms of geometry, but I'd like thru axle rather than quick release. Any suggestions for others forks with <395mm AC and >28c tyre clearance?

380 as well actually.

Fancy flapz

I know it is too much

.

There's also whisky no. 9 road plus I think with similar specs.

You just can't stop can you?!

No, I am an idiot. I wish I didn't care about bikes. I would get so much out of life

...and miss out on a dedicated fan base of online strangers on the worlds friendliest forum!?!?

Back in business!

Got some T45 tubing and cut it up for some bars.

Got a new torch. It is tiny.

AND I am almost done with Kirstine's frame and forks.

Got the Nitto bullmoose bars, like yours, oh so comfortable, and gains one extra radavist points.

show me the fork

You go straight to banging in the butt hole don't you?

#foreplay

Yeah. These are 800mm wide tho!

But actually regarding the forks. I gave up on flat mount. I should have implemented it in the design earlier instead of trying to retrofit it.
SO I am giving this Paul Klampers instead. IS on the front and Flat mount to IS adapter on the rear. Not ideal, but it will still look sweet.

FORKS

Broad shoulders? Had to cut the Nittos down, 710mm was too wide for me.
Are you going left hand drive side on Kristine's bike, or is wheel in wrong way?

I was just checking the wheel was straight.

; )

: (

I still need to do some more eyelets on K's forks. And a custom rack.

who will make London's first flat mount steel fork® ?

Dunno.

Yooo this is what I’m talking about. How much? Just for braze ons? Guessing it’s too little for brazing tube joints?

What's going on here?
