Did those Stans Valor wheels get snapped up?

I have a Shimano Alfine dynamo hub laced to Mavic XM319 rims with Sapim Race I don't need. Black hubs/rims with silver spokes. Not the most glamorous dynamo but it got me to Istanbul without a hitch. Is that of any interest?

I'm interested in this - but could you show a measurement from the BB to the top of the seat tube so I can check it against the sizing on the On One website?

Also is this the same as the Fireline "Evo" that they currently sell or is it an earlier model?

dibs Sidis - PM on the way

I'll take 9 and 12 then

Cheers, I'm going light so I think I'll chance it but bring some spare spokes

I have an AXA Nano 50 Plus I don't need. It's a cheaper dynamo light with USB charging.

Thanks for the measurement, that is useful to know. I'm surprised by your experience though. Since I switched to Orange Seal I have found it very effective - I have some nasty slashes in my tires that have been sealed without me even noticing them. My Jon Bons do sometimes lose a few PSI overnight though. Is that what you mean?

The grip blows me away too - going down wet, winding, 15% lanes in Exmoor covered in cowshit and fallen leaves without skipping a beat. I do find that they are very sensitive to pressure though - just a few PSI stray of 46 and I really feel it.

I think you did. The title of the thread isn't "I have too much spare time, please troll me".

They are these Superstar ones

Isn't my own weight more important? 7-8kg of luggage isn't too significant compared to my 70kg.

I'm planning a tour across Greece and the Balkans. I have a nice 20/24 semi-aero wheelset laced with CX Rays and hubs with great bearings. 1550grams. Am I asking for trouble?

I'll be running wide tires (38mm or larger) so I figure they will have a good amount of cushioning but, then again, I'll be riding some very rough roads. I've toured 8000+ miles and never had a broken spoke but I've never used such weenie wheels.

I am planning to ride the route from the Odyssey MTB race in a couple of weeks

Anyone on here got the 44mm Compass Snoqualmie Pass tires? I'm considering sizing up from their 35mm tires (which actually measure about 39mm) but want to know what they really measure as.

£60 hub on a £25 rim + spokes and rotor... is £60 all in fair?

Yep, you can expect about 1mm extra tire width. Not worth buying new wheels over.

Shimano Alfine dynamo hub laced to Mavic XM319 rims with Sapim Race spokes. I can also include a Shimano centrelock rotor. Some scratches to the paintwork and could probably do with truing. (I haven't used it in a while) but working fine.

Looking to trade this for a rim-brake dynamo wheel. I would also consider selling mine or buying yours.

*700c, I should have mentioned.

A bit late - but when I went from a 15mm internal width rim to a 19mm my 25mm labelled Veloflex Corsas went from a measured 23.5mm to 25.4mm. For me that would mean a pressure drop of about 15PSI so pretty significant, though granted it's a big step up in rim width. If you want wider tires then the best thing to do is obviously to buy wider tires.

Are the Tektro canties a pair or just the one?

*and are they the version with or without the pad shoes?

Cheeky, I gave you those Big Apples for free

I'll take those. PM on the way

Anyone got a pair knocking around in the shed?

Thanks for the info, that clears up a lot I wasn't sure about. I'll either wait* for a Ritchey WCS frankest to crop up on eBay or I'll buy a new bottom bracket then.
