Hey Summit, have you ridden her yet? How's she feel compared to alu or carbon?

 

[Eldron]

Sweet bike Anton - give us a review on the new wheels - I'm keen to purchase some.... 1650g per pair I believe and rather cost effective!

[SteveS]

The bike looks much nicer with the white wheels. Did you get them from Kiwi?

Schweeeet

Where did you get the stem cap?  I have been searching for more than 2 years for one!

[Wyatt Earp]

@ Pappa Bear, the stem cap is interchangeable, here is a link as to how it works

@ Steve, I got the wheels from Cape Cycles Systems and I agree they do look better (of course I agree )

 

@ Tech Guy, thanks

 

@Eiger, I have ridden her twice now and the steel frame is a huge amount smoother than my alloy frame EMD.

 

I have not seen or ridden the carbon Niner yet.

 

@Eldron

 

I will ride these wheels tomorrow, on the scale the weight was 1.6 kg's, the bearings are bigger than the standard AC bearings and the rim profile is 26 mm. wide and 22 mm. deep.

 

Just riding here in the parking lot and over the grass bumps, they do feel stiffer than the Bontrager's I had on before, I will let you know after a few rides.

 

These wheels are 400 grams lighter than my Bonty's.

Damn that looks mighty fine!

Very nice! Whats with the headset? Looks like a BB.

[Danger Dassie]

Helluva nice, but need a better beer cap!

It's a KCNC headset.

 

Thanks Veloce

 

Dassie, I have about 10 caps I can use and always many more to collect at braais.

 

My favorite is the Heineken cap.

Interesting, looks very much like one of the Areozine units... Is it, the headset, part of KCNC's new Radiant (R Series) headset line?

You are right it is an Aerozine.
