Has anyone out there had a track axle made for a Zipp Sub9? I believe that disc runs the Zipp 182 (silver) hub.
The axle kits are proper rare.
If I could get the dimensions I can get one made.
Cheers.

That chainring now presides on this. Again a Mavic double.

Sadly not. Just a standard Mavic double set. They didn't last long. The none drive side cracked at the square taper. The bike pictured now runs a DA 7700 crankset and BB more for reliability as it still gets raced.

My Aende chainring.

2nd'd.
I've just binned a pair of their winter bibs (with pad) after literally wearing through them in the seat area. They've done a lot of road and off road winter miles over about 5 seasons. New pair already on order. Compared to a cheap pair of DHB tights I picked up for emergency wear, they're in another league.

I'm struggling to ignore this. I love the shape of this frame.
Always when I'm waiting to get paid!!!!

I put some cheap Deda 380mm bars on my track build. Perfect.

PS, Schwalbe Pro One's any good? Clinchers.

Fair comment on Conti's. I've used their sprinter tubs in the past but found they suffered from a bit of wheel hop, possibly due to the overlap on the canvas base.

Im still torn between tub and clincher though. I'm happy gluing tubs, I do for my TT bikes. I wont be racing on the track, just SQT and club sessions.

Quick question.
New track bike being built, I've used tubs and clinchers in the past but wondered what people's preference would be? I found little difference between them. I'm just thinking of affordability more than anything in the current climate.
Wheels will be 25mm width either way probably. Would Conti GP5000 clincher be a suitable choice?
Track will be Derby BTW.

Ah that's good news. Many thanks for the info.
BTW, did the Miche BB come with the spacers?

Cheers, Jon

If this hasn't sold I may be interested.

Did you compensate by taking 1mm off the non drive side?

Excellent. That's put my mind at rest as I was concerned about buying the wrong crankset.
Cheers

@Lima, did you manage to get this clearance issue sorted? I'm putting together an almost identical build.

They work very well. They do leave a yellow residue on the rims but that cleans off no problem.

Yes the drilled dropouts were a common feature of this frame builder, he often drilled the BB lug as well.
I'm actually unsure if the cups are Campag. They don't seem to be stamped as such.
I modified Swisstop yellows to fit the AX calipers to give better braking and protect the anodising on the rims a bit. The yellow pads are pretty soft. The original Shimano pads are very hard and abrasive.

A few minor changes from when I received it. Took it for its first proper ride early this morning. I was expecting the front 24" to feel twitchy but it was very stable, even out of the saddle. I'll race it in the next few weeks and see what we can do.

Free bump, this is beautiful. Would love to have the spends for this but Mrs would kill me if I came back with another one! 24" front?

This is ace. Great photo too. What are your intentions with the bike? Some racing?

Two pairs of brand new, unused Welgo pedals with basic cages fitted. These cages will not take straps. Came off my new tandem.
£20 the pair posted UK mainland.
