LOOK695 Posted July 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charsky Posted July 5, 2013 Share Step 5...Decorate your frame with decals. Got some decals made from guys on thehub, got some hot orange and kawa green to start with. Plakked them on, fitted headset and put the fork on to see what she will look like. Currently at the mech to cut steerer, cross the t's and dot the i's.... Can't wait to pop her tjerrie the weekend... Mal snaaks! "SweatyBetty" Haha! Can only imagine the look on people's faces when you glide past them. Well done and thanks for all the interesting & informative updates. rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushdee Posted July 7, 2013 Share 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 Hairy, nellie, Meezo and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
