Tektro canti's still available ?

That's a great site for identifying the bearings and good prices too !

** Bookmarked**

Bit late now , but do you still have these ?

Miche PIstard track wheels; virtually unridded, with spanking new Conti Tempo19 tubs - £120

Threading a fork column for an additional 3cm is a dogs job and hard on tools as well, needs about four passes with a campag die and a bottle of beer to make it work well while the fork crown is properly supported in a vice with alloy / wooden surface protectors.

£15 is a reasonable amount for a careful job in my view.

The bearings you need for the current Suzue SB "disco Hubs " are 6001 z .

They are the same size front and rear .

Simply bearings will do the SKF ones for about a fiver each delivered or I have some in the parts box you can have for the replacement price if you get stuck.

These are non contact shielded bearings that are great for track wheels, not so good if you go out in the rain.... try the stainless steel ones or go for the double rubber shielded ones (S6001-2RS ) if you get wet a lot.

Hope that helps,

Regards Allister

Is the 56cm frame a Track Champ or Pre Cursa ?

Could be interested in that at the right price or could swap for what ever you need !

I might have a nearly new battery from my old macbook to fit this if you have a part number...

Can I Dibs these cranks if sacredhart has undibsed them please.....

I am going to grind the back shoulder off and use them on one of the drop in track bikes at Meadowbank !

Why resist..... temptation like this may not pass your way again !

These frames are really nice,

the equipment is a good match,

it will make you smile every time you use it,

what better reason do you need ?

Life is short, pleasures are few and It's only money......

That's 10 mins down the road from me, PM me with the details and I will do my best to sort it for you.

68mm width and 1.37 x 24...... it's English

Having come this far down the thread we need more details of the "unusual" sales technique" please !

Fantastico !

Keep me posted :-)

Dibs ....SPECIALIZED LANGSTER Polished aluminium 2008/9 model

PM sent .

As the title says I am looking for a 20 hole front hub to build in to a nice track wheel.

Can be small or large flange as long it has enough metal on the flange to build in to a radial pattern.

Any thing in the parts box or garage that would fit the bill ?

Regards Allister

Got it !

Don't fret..... the gaitorskin tubs will fit perfectly !

As far as tubular rims go the markings are a bit confusing, conti tubs are marked 27" x 1 and what ever or 19mm to 25mm width

Mavic GEL 280 rims are 700C size and fit gaitorskin tubs perfectly.

Stick them on and see !

regards Allister

Agree the time of completion before the start !

In a busy bike shop a good wheel build takes a bit of uninterrupted time and that can be hard to come by.

Once you have the time, an hour will see a standard wheel done pretty thoroughly, a real slick builder can pop out 32 x 3 standards in 20 mins if she is showing off !

Well every one has a favorite spoke key !

I think a lot depends how often you use it for a little bit of tinkering It's hard to beat the Spokey at a fiver.

if you are doing a lot of wheels the Park Tools expert spoke key works for me.

The main trick is getting the right size and one that grips on three sides and being careful with alloy nipples...

kuwahara adapter arrived this morning !

Thanks
