The archetype rim average at 485g I have weight more than i can count. The HED belgium+ averages at 465g. I use the park electronic balance.

royce hubs have bigger bearing and therefore will last longer. WI hubs are lighter. both have steel axles and both have Ti freehub bodies. Both are excellent in there own way.

what did you build exactly.

An 8 speed cassette does fit the splines of the modern freehub. You will get some gouging of the splines but it will work. You will however need a 1mm spacer behind the cassette for a campagnolo freehub, don't know where you will get one of those unless a standard freehub spacer fits and you know what I have never tried.

Those wheels manufacturing kits are no longer available finding one is not easy. Luck is required.

24 cx rays for that single speed wheel Dan stuff will be fine.

The laser spokes are jot them problem. Used thousands they are good spokes but a stiff rim must be used and hubs with good bracing angles. Superstar components have those qualities. The wheel build quality needs to top notch as well. Even spoke tension and 1200N Ds rear tension. Obey the rules and laser work. Disregard them and the break.

Must be something with good chrome and pretty high end for its day as it going on a 1948 raleigh record ace.

Any one

As above. It should be the heron type.

Or a williams c34, c 100, c28, c 1200 or other British chainset.

Once you have stress received you will have bedded in the spokes and stretched them a bit this will allow a bit of extra turn on the nipples to keep the threads covered.

The length are about right. A rims with ERD 53 mm uses 288/290mm with those hubs.

Yes the ds spokes need to be tight 1200N tight in fact. Nds tension is what ever it is to get it dished.

I actually have a freehub body spare good working order and pawls are all present. £50 as is it as close to being new as anyone is going to find.

Got a set of xr200 laced up should sell them as I never use them. I prefer a wider rim. I am not slower. So I would get over it too. Also the brake track is way better and does not pulse.

Campagnolo hubs last well too.

White industries do one as well.

Brown's tyres or use some latex sealant.

The other will have fatigued more spoke failures are on there way. I would have rebuilt the wheel.

Why don't you take them off instead of guessing.

If you still need rims then I do have some campagnolo victory chronic or strava ' and some mavic gp4's I think I may have some mavic gel 330 rims all nos as well.

Ambrosio nemesis is have been around forever so using new one's should O.K and they are wonderful rims.

I think I have that size. Also why would some pre 87 kit be acceptable and not others. The rule make little sense to me. They already have an exception for aluminium Alan bikes which is good in have a 1980 example. Clip less pedals have been around since 1895!

What size pins do you need got quite a few in the shop. Hardly ever use them. This thread is inspiring me to make a start on my Raleigh record ace.

On the eroica would 1984 look clip less pedals be acceptable to use. I have an Alan in racing spec these pedals would complete the build. Loving the hobs.

The best thumbs are old shimano ones for mtb's and switch them to friction. Or get Paul thumb adapter and mount shimano 9 speed bar end shifters on them that way you get a very nice indexed system.

The bikes came with a 113 mm bb I think. A shimano 600 Ultegra 6402 or 1055/6 will fit.

I'll be able to let you know what the new vittoria tyres are like as they have a stand at my shop on Saturday letting folk try out these new tyres. The pave has gone and is not coming back. The new corsa has the same casing that the old pave had but with the new rubber compound. I am waiting to see if this graphene is as magical as they claim. I hope so as then we could have a pave that feels like a corsa.

Bike 24. De has Schwable ultramodern tubs on a deal but they are veloflex carbons from a few years ago re-bagded. €30 each bought 6 to try out.
