Hey Guys

 

I'm busy building my own little SS project, and am thinking of bringing in a carbon 26 rigid fork from China, If I bring in 3 more forks it will make the price for each fork quite a bit cheaper R1150 each.

 

carbon used is T600 and weight is 500g +- 20g and straight 1-1/8 steer

 

so if anyone is interested in getting a fork with me send me a PM :)

You should see if you can get them in Post mount rather than IS it looks a lot cleaner

I actually have fond them in Post Mount, and made with a better carbon from another supplier for about the same price. the also do 29" forks, so if anyone is looking for a rigid 29" they'll be R1500 each and the 26" still R1150

I'm in the process of building a singlespeed (old Peugeot) and want to upgrade the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket I'm looking at using is this one: http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=71369

 

I also hope to make use of my existing Shimano FC-1050 square tapered cranks. If you look at the pic you will see that the existing spindle takes a nut as opposed to a bolt to hold the crank on. The length of the spindle at the edge of the taper is approx 116mm.

 

Should I go for a 115mm spindle or another length and will my cranks fit on this BB ?

CRC for a BB that goes for R120 at the LBS? - Rather go past your LBS and pick up a BB, the 115 should be no problem, unless the cranks were extremely close to the chainstays.
