The financial pleasures of still riding a 26"

Just got a brand new pair of Mavic UST Crosstrail wheels from my LBS.

Indicative market price 350 - 400 Dollars. Purchased the set on clearance for only R1900inc here in PE!

I've been swopping wheels over between my Singlespeed and XC bike and eventually decided to pull the plug and build a new wheelset.

 

I have always liked the Surly Rabbit Hole rims which Surly brought out when they built the Krampus and instead of a normal rim, I decided to rather go for the Rabbit Holes. So these will go onto my Karate Monkey and my existing wheelset will go onto the On-One.

 

They'll be laced to Superstar Hubs that i recently bought.

 

Front wheel will have a Surly Knard 29 x 3" tyre whilst the rear will run a normal Conti 2.4"

They look quite small for records.

Licorice pizza's. I had to stand on the coffee table to take the pic, so I was quite far from them.

Good luck on getting a record player, the modern LP'S benefit only from the best equipment.

Most LP's are 180 g. or 200 g. pressings.

 

I get lot's of records from there or Acoustic Sounds.

I use Audionut locally sometimes.

 

Busy listening to The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow.

Give me convenience or give me death came with a LP and a book with the story behind each song. Super cool!

 

Once you start , you can't stop.

The entire package out does CD and the sound quality is sublime.

I am sitting on around a 1000 lp's , haven't bought too much of late except for some Pink Floyd's remasters and that Tsuyoshi Yamamoto.

Lekker dude!! I get my stuuf from a skate shop/record store in Amsterdam. I ask my cousin to go and see if they have what I like and he posts it... There is a shop in Cresta I'm not sure about the name, he knows his stuff but I can't afford the equipment.

I have quite a few contacts that can help with turntables, from R 3k up to R 300 k.

I'll get back to you on that one day. For now my skorro skorro thing will have to do. But you're right collecting these things is addictive and its much cooler to hold and play than a cd...

So, I finally decided to get the closer-to-sublime home theatre setup that I've wanted for a while and splashed out on:

  • Sony EX650 46" LED
  • A full set of Boston Acoustics C-series speakers (250w C226 floor standers, centre, large bookshelf surrounds and a C10 sub)
  • Pioneer KVX-522 receiver
  • Monster XP cabling

(Pardon me for the crappy pics, iPhones don't deal well with low light).
