Oh I do like it. Every day is special. I say everyday is my birthday but I have given up cake for something better. Drool Now I just need some rain so that I can start the 12/13 speed rebuild. The crunch will be if the cassette fits on the hub so that will be the first thing for me to try.

Don't want to hijack the thread but I thought higher spoke count added to stiffer wheel. If the rear is going to end up covered disc... does a lighter spoke count really matter? The bike weighs quite a bit so it's not as though you need to save ounces? Its just one of my other projects is...

Tempting... just for the experience and as its in Amsterdam... no friggin massive hills. I am sure they are quite clever and invent some sort of venturi wind tunnel you will have to cycle through. I will have to investigate

Well Well Well What's brewing in the pot? I bought and received 2 sram flat topped 12 speed chains. I can tell you now ... that chain is a win win chicken dinner. Its so slippery its like an eel and even more so its aero. Stone have produced an aero 12 speed chainring that fits in place of...

With the number of cars parked outside, it looks like really early morning. When ever I christen a build ... I do the same. You will feel better when you get clipped in. Just use one foot first and use the other foot as a balance. Something tells me you are already an experienced rider. Great...

You will need some bright flashing lights with that bike... its like a ground torpedo

Emmm get use to riding with a cadence of 68 with a 52t/11t would be the ideal

In other words... how big is the chainstay?

You don't even need to put your leg over the seat to mount or dismount ... must be quite an experience

The 28mm is really comfortable... is your rim wide enough though for it to still be aero? Depends what you want to do with bike... KOMS or training.

Well you will be able to use the new rival axs groupset

OK... I noticed a trend coming out of China that they are producing one piece , high quality cmc machined 12 speed cassettes that are shimano hyper glide compatible ... so it's not too difficult to imagine a 13th 42t sprocket sitting at the end of it. Why have 12 speed when you can have 13...

My gosh ... done and dusted in a day

When ever you get one remember ... take chain off smaller chainring, derailleur facing you, glove under right knee... and it should be easy. Changing tubeless tires was the easiest with :- just install it for a few days with an inner tube and then do the inner tube removal and sealant replace...

Dear sellers... crazy for me to say this but I think you are offering an incredible bargain. :rolleyes:

Its not too expensive either.

So... I find spinning fast created too much body movement so I feel less inclined to go faster than 50kph. So after a bike fit a couple of years ago... the fitter said... you need to find a specialist to see what's up as the pressure on the saddle and the power on the pedals was considerably...

Believe that... not... LOL

If you ask me... its up there with the greats. I have the greatest admiration for any rider participating in such an event
