i think he rode front and rear. LF phils to cadence aeros. i think that might be what matts riding now too, or just deep vs

While we're on the subject of wheels, I'm looking for a good cassette hub to build to some sorta strong rim for a fairly long (for me) tour I'll be doing this summer. Phil's are incredibly expensive, and I'm thinking about 105. Any suggestions? The front wheel is that one you sold me, marshall. The CXP33 to whatever the hell that hub is. runs well now that I trued it. Really well, actually. I'm also digging the blue anod.

so, rear cassette hub and rim for touring.

yeah man! you're a silly bean for selling me that wheel for 5 bucks. It's blue anodized, with some ugly ass, yet really smooth cannondale "coda expert" mountain hub.

edit: Upon further removal of black spray paint, it's actually a cxp23.

and I did! thanks again, man. it works great. if you have any sort of rims around I could build the road hub with (whichever one I decide on) I'd be glad to take it off your hands.

fuck americxan classic/

yeah okay bro

yeah I have a set, building the front first, then the rear. probly both to the lf phils

I like threaded a lot personally, but it is a pain to deal with in a lot of ways. options for 1" threadless are very limited, shim is pretty much necessary and not a big deal. switching over to threaded doesnt really make a lot of sense honestly.

my opinions.

agreeing with this

what kind of leather treatment should i use on an old leather rolls saddle? needs some love...

true dat. It worked wonders on my old rolls.

weird question. i might get my hands on a campagnolo shamal titanium rim. it's a really nice rim, and i was planning to lace it into a front wheel. the problem is, it's a 12 hole rim! is it kosher to lace it into a higher hole count hub? and if so, should i lace it to a 24h i.e. a campy record hub? or a 36h? the original 12h hubs are extremely hard to find.

lol, don't worry. have a different wheel for that. just found a really good deal on it so i'll probably scoop it up. probably will build it up then sell it.

dragnwhiptail:

awesome, thanks. do many shops stock it?

river city, bike central, and I'm sure others.

i'm pretty sure anyone who buys a shamal front wheel laced to a 24 will just un-lace it and find the right hub...

so either get a 12h the first time, or insta-flip the rim by itself

phil does custom everything

also, i'd ask at the serotta forum classifieds. there's a lot of guys with deep parts collections to dig thru...

lemme get that from you...

yeah get a custom 12h phil. Im getting a custom 40h one for a weirdo rim I have

well, Business Cycles says it's "at a modest surcharge" so that probably means it shouldnt be too much more. then again, phil woods are expensive to begin with. but it's a shamal, not like i am going to build it up to a crappy hub.

edit: it's an extra $40 according to the phil wood website.

Jeezy, ill fight/race/out drink you for it....

I'd kill for a set of shamals. And I gotta start somewhere

luno:

my plan is to build it up to a phil and then sell it. front of course. by tomorrow we will see if i have the rim or what.

sounds like a waste of time and money...

yep. i think that is what i'm going to do. kevin you are a track sprinter, right? you can probably get more use out of that rim than anyone else on here.

imma ride that shit on the streets mayne!

I think this will be my new wheelset

Front Forte Titan with a solid axle conversion

then like open pro (cd), veep, hplus f30, or some other obscure rim in the back laced to some classy formula hubs with some DT aerolite spokes.

UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO DIFFER! It wont be until... Summer ish

ayhsmb

btw whats a good rear hub? and where do I get axlez..

Fuck, might as well use my $20 Iro hub

Bladed... shoot.
