Im suprised none really mentioned Uvex. They do make some really great helmets. Just got a Uvex FP 1, in matte gray/red. Its 200 gramms. It was 38 gbp... Fits like a glove. 200 gramms feels nothing on my head. Looks like this:
Really comfy helmet, and great quality. Made in Germany.
Looks like this on a pro's head:

Just got my pre cursa frameset a week ago. I'm using Miche Primato Advanced chainset. I got installed a 107mm bb and the right crankset was hitting the chainstay when i was pedalling hard. I had to fit a longer bb. Now im using a 113mm bb. I didn't try it with 110mm, it might work, i dont know. I still have a very small clearance between the crank and the chainstay but at least it doesnt hit the frame. I was a bit worried because of the chainline with the 113mm bb, but its okay. The 44mm chainline on the mavic ellipse hub compensates the wider bb a bit.
This article mentions the same problem. He fitted a 111mm bb, and it was okay for him.

" I have recently fitted a Miche chain set to a Dolan pre-cursa frame and found that with the correct length ISO taper bottom bracket of 107mm, the right hand crank was hitting the chain stay. I had to fit a 111mm long ISO taper bracket to correct this, even so the crank was close to the chain stay. I measured the distance between the chain stays at this point and found it to be 100mm, which compares to 95mm on my own frame at the same point. With the longer bracket the chain alignment was however good so this was not a major problem."
Dolan should really solve this problem, maybe redeisgn the chainstay area a little bit, so the one could use a bigger variety of cranks on this pretty nice frame.

Did a search on this but couldn't find the answer here.
So, im trying to take apart my Mavic Ellipse Hub for service, and for replacing the bearings, both front and rear. I can't take off the adjusting nuts, and cant remove the axle. I remove the fork support nuts of course, than i insert an allen key on one side in the axle and the provided mavic tool on the other side, on the adjusting nut. It screws off pretty easily, but at some point it suddenly stops. It really feels that something stopping it from coming off, and its not the threads on the axle. The interesting is that this happens on both hubs, on the same spot. Is there any o-ring that i have to remove first in order to remove the axle and the adjusting nuts? Or am i doing something totally wrong?
