Hairy Posted November 16, 2018 Share I always liked the idea of loud hubs, till I got a set of Hopes .... great on the trail, but sucks when you are trying to set your gears or wanting to find that "ping" when straightening up your rotors .... simply can not hear the finer details the bikes making to Tchjune it just right. Ok, who am I kidding, loud hubs still rock babse, Onegear, DJR and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted November 16, 2018 Share I may be getting soft (okay, I am) but lately I find myself wishing for a silent rear hub. Just the noise of the trail, the tyres on the dirt, the whirr whirr of the wheels and tyres and a bit of chain slap on my modified chain protector... Current hub is a pro 4Check yourself before you wreck yourself... Go and wash you mouth out with soap. I did see your later post.

The Ouzo Posted November 17, 2018 Share I might have gone a little over board at the cycle challenge expo yesterday. Walked in and first accent had helmets going cheap.My wife has been complaining about her crappy helmet for many years, I thought maybe a new helmet will encourage her to get on the bike more, so I picked up one for her. I needed new Gator skins and tubes so picked up 2 new tyres and got 3 free tubes from CWC. also got a few extra bombs. Then about a year ago my trusty Polar S510 HR belt died on me. I never bothered to get it fixed. During last years 947, at the top of the first climb my old cateye got caught in the spokes so I ripped it off.Since then I've been using the polar watch for time and cadence and my phone to track my rides. Have been casually looking at the garmin and wahoo products since then but never bit the bullet. Got to the Wahoo stand at the expo and the folks there were to busy showing off their IDTs, I looked at the prices and decided I'll browse around and come back if I dont see anything more appealing. Popped into the Garmin stand, asked a few questions and got really helpful and enthusiastic info. They didnt have huge specials but I made a spur of the moment decision and handed over money for an Edge 130 bundle and added a cadence sensor to the bill too.

Ok, who am I kidding, loud hubs still rock When you think your rear brake is dragging and stop to check....then that convienant “pedestrian hub alarm noise” is not so convienant.But ja the pedestrian bell effect is very useful Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted November 17, 2018 Share Finally fitted the correct Colnago 28mm seat post to the C40. I should be ashamed! Looking back, I "finished" the C40 build more than 2 years ago and I've had the right seatpost all along. I've built 2 other bikes in the mean time! The shimmed seatpost worked so well, I kind of "forgot" about it! Bad boy! Don't do that again! Wannabe, Fruity, Cippo and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
