LOOK695 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Retail on them?I have been qouted $579 from hongfu and $480 from dengfu. They don't use the same hubs. Hongfu uses powerway, chosen hubs are available at $30 extra and dengfu novatec. I don't know much about the difference in the hubs as I have not done any research online. Maybe there are some hubbers who can shed some light on the hubs. I know the novatec's are not bad. Latest wheight qoute on the 86mm clincher rim is 615g, which is not bad considering Zipp 808 FC clincher is 638g for 82mm, according to wheelbuilder site. Here are some more pics if the 86mm clincher

Rushdee Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) New build - carbon 27.5’er 650B 3k matte black + carbon rigid fork: Hi folks. Few months of research, sourcing of parts etc. and here she is. Have her just over a month now. Took the time to post some decent pics. Haven't gotten around to replacing the slightly dated saddle yet (gotten-around-to is pronounced ‘cant-afford-to’). Bar and stem position/height still needs adjusting or possibly replaced. 8.5kg wifff pedals. With a quality suspension fork pretty sure a sub-9kg weight can be maintained. edit: Carbon rigid fork is +-470g. Weight of quality suspension fork would be around +/-1500g. Adding the numbers together 9.5kg is within easy reach. Ordered some decals and ended up preferring the minimal simple look. Size 17". Haven't quite put her through her paces yet and cant comment much on performance but so far she feels sweet. Enjoy. http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/20130818_112315.jpghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/mymtb.pnghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/MTB/04.jpghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/MTB/07.jpghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/MTB/05.jpghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/MTB/06.jpghttp://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l628/stressed_eric1/MTB/09.jpg Edited March 25, 2014 by Stressed Eric rouxtjie, Meezo, ChUkKy and 3 others 6
