turtlek Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Rad that looks pretty why dont you just remove the bar ends and you will have A sweet ride
rad006 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 So after looking at 2nd hand wheelsets then saying im going custom to changing my mind at the last minute due to CRC running out of Brass Lock Nipples here is my bike!!! Oh and I got a spare set as well What I learnt is that if you go from a 160mm rotor to a 180mm including the adapter you add 100grams to the bike weight. The wheels might be entry level but they weigh 400grams less in total than my old DT SWiss/Mavic wheelset-Using same tyres but added tyre liners Total bike weight with all extras is 12.9kg so still going to shave alot off with future developments
AndreZA Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Did you get the wheels from Como? That was realle fast.Bike looks nice.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Hey mate, was it you I saw showing Justin those rotors yesterday afternoon?
rad006 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 @ Turtlek my next upgrades are yes dumping the barends goin KCNC stem and handlebars, Maybe changing my heavier Yutaak saddle for a Selle Italia SLR and getting some PIMP KCNC skewers & derailer cogs @ PaulVs much cheaper than local
Zaskar Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Nice build, but i would loose that mud guard. Ive got a nice set of Crud Catchers that i bought in the UK, but i think they totally spoil the look of the bike. So i keep them hidden, and only bring them out when its very very muddy. Like the rotor effect, what paint did you use on them?
rad006 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Yes Ben it was me so you got no hair.... I was wondering who you were!!!Yes Mampara got them for como got me 2 sets one 6bolt the other Centrelock with free adapter cos they didnt have another 6bolt

That way it looks like my fox fork controls almost... Thanks Speedi I love my mudgaurd just think I must bend it up alittle in the front
