    Titan Ti 29er

    I mounted the wheels and all went pleasant. The bike felt noticeably more responsive on the ride home which i guess must be due to the wheel change. They do feel pretty solid so gonna try them on the south downs way over the weekend and see then. Also going to start a green ti-bolt theme as my...

    No rhyme no reason just 1 non-Retrobike pic per post.

    Titan Ti 29er

    Wheels arrived and they weigh what they said they'd be! I'll try to mount them up later in the week and see what they're like. I'll probably get another set of tyres so I can swap wheel sets easily.

    Numb Hands. Grip and Glove Recommendations Please

    I use SQLab 710s. Pricey compared to some other grips but super comfy and big enough that you can also move your hands to ease additional pressure. I personally don't use gloves. I should probably get some non padded ones because, personally, the padding generally presses in places which...

    Titan Ti 29er

    Decided I'd whack the saddle on and give it a go on the commute home tonight. Short test feels decent.

    Sold Cannondale Hollowgram 35 rear wheel

    Wheel clearly damaged. It's a shame because bearings are good and wheel otherwise had plenty of life. Freehub is for Shimano HG and hub is 142x12mm. Takes centre lock discs and weighs 860g as pictured. Wheel was damaged from a kerb strike. Perhaps someone learning carbon repair may want it...

    Titan Ti 29er

    Most of my new parts are here now. So thats saddle, stem, tubeless valves, centrelock adapters, some ti bolts (don't need the 12 for the rotor bolts, my bad!), carbon stem spacers. Just waiting on the rotors and wheels to arrive and then I'll get nerdy and all weights onto a spreadsheet and...

    2015 Austro-Daimler TT Carbon Limited.

    I was tinkering with the idea of getting a TT bike recently. Never ridden one but I'm flexible and just one of those impulses to get one. I didn't bother in the end so I'll keep an eye on this to see how it turns out!

    Titan Ti 29er

    I was going to build my own wheels which with my choice of parts were about 1050g. I thought I could do better than that hence my claim above of the wheels being below 900g. I have had a pic from the manufacturer and indeed the reference set were 884g. Technically they are a road wheelset so i...

    Titan Ti 29er

    Next update: some parts just ordered... -Gelu carbon saddle -darimo stem -additional carbon wheels -ai2 rotors. I am not sure about the wheels, They are a bit of a gamble and will require some adapter that I need to agree on. Most of my riding is on road anyway so the wheels are techincally a...

    Titan Ti 29er

    Had this beauty for over a year now and a while back I made a few changes. Played around with a few rigid forks but ended up sticking with the same suspension forks...but now have rigid envy again 😁 I changed the saddle to a Ryet 3D one and have found that to be a great fit for myself. Cranks...

    Withdrawn Sub 1100g disc frame, 19 inch frame, pref carbon

    I think I may be sorted. In talks about getting me hands on a Scott scale 10 which is ideal

    Withdrawn Sub 1100g disc frame, 19 inch frame, pref carbon

    There are more options out there. To go light I will need carbon so updated the thread title. My Cannondale flash frames have all been under 970g (even 29er) and the older Scott scales (26inch) are just over 1000g and there are a few other options too. I've got my eyes on eBay etc but best to...

    Withdrawn Sub 1100g disc frame, 19 inch frame, pref carbon

    P Ah yes, that's about what I expected. Not going to suit my needs I'm afraid! Thanks for checking

    Withdrawn Sub 1100g disc frame, 19 inch frame, pref carbon

    Yes please weigh the frame. I think given it's an older alloy one, it may be well over the mark but interesting to see! Thanks
