Custom Ti Build Starts NOW!

[Mulger bill]

What do you think of this?

Seems to be missing something shifty to me...

If I was building a custom disc braked FG bike I'd be right onto them.

Planning to use DT shifters?

[Mulger bill]

Then go for it.

MichaelB ran TRP discs off a Parabox on his roadie, look for his thread in the shed.

Looks like he has done some mod on his TRP too!

[rheicel]

DT shifters, Brake levers, and other parts coming.




Will also settle for this temporary calipers while still deciding mechanical vs hydraulic. I will put this on my wife's bike, if ever there is a need for upgrade.


Have also settled for this purely based on review, colour is grey. Can't seem to justify CK for my commute.


I have some excess 7700 RD, Red FD, Rival Cranks, and Ritchey Stem+Drop Bar too. Trying to keep the cost down as the ministry of finance is not happy with this build. All money spent so far comes from items I sold here in BNA and eBay. If I am not lucky to sell the 3 wheelsets I have, I may not have enough money to get the wheelset I want

All photos are from Wiggle btw.

I have those Cane Creek levers on my SS roadie.

They are pretty good.

I have chosen them purely for the good looks. If they are good, then that is a huge bonus. I may need to order another one for my other bike too!

[rheicel]

Cane Creek, Tektro, and Dura Ace came yesterday. Still waiting for the frame!

[rheicel]

I have been advised by Porter the the frame/fork is now ready for shipping. Josh will need to hurry up in building my wheels, oh I need to decide which one first!

I am not so impressed with the calipers

[rheicel]

Ooops, they will probably look good when mounted using those Avid Ti Bolt kit ans NSB mounts.

[rheicel]

Can't help to post what I got from the post today! Will try to start building her up tonight

[Mugglechops]

Nice. I was wondering how your build was going.

[rheicel]

Tired, just waiting for the wheelset to come. Most parts are in now.

[Mugglechops]

Looking good

[rheicel]

Looking good

Thanks. I thought the fork will look horrible but looking at it is not too bad at all.

[rheicel]

Yes, they are coming!

[baabaa]

Nice,in fact very nice wheels, WI do good stuff and keen to try some H+sons rims, btw that fork looks fine but the photo looks like it will be tight for anything widesh?
Any idea on mm fork to crown and the rake on that thing?

Yeah, can't wait to see those wheels.
I am more inclined to use this on road and have chosen a road-like fork with dics tab. I have a new carbon fork that I can use if I decided to use this for CX adventure. This is also one of the main reason why the T-T is not horizontal - the slight slope might save my balls if ever I will try it in CX rides.
I think the max size of tyre I can use is 28C.
Axle to Crown is only 367.5 mm
Rake is 43 mm
Here is the close-up of the clearance:


Anyone here have tried the TRP HYRD?

[rheicel]

Check this out guys, thanks XLR8!

[Mulger bill]

Yes, they are coming!

Sooooo shiny!
Wish they'd fit my budget, need new commute wheels and Josh is the man for the job.

Have to sell 2 x Carbon Wheelset and 1 Reynolds wheelset to get this new set. I hope to sell some more to finish it,

[jacob_T]

Ah. I have those white industry hubs. Been very tempted to get some h & sons for them too...

[Mugglechops]

Nice looking wheels too.

My mate got his TRP hydro cable disc calipers the other day. He just needs to pull his finger out and set them up.

When he stops playing with his Fatbike

Will be interested to know how your mate will go with the TRP's.

The hyd TRP hydro brake calipers are pretty good, I had them hooked up originally onto my monstercrosser but decided to fit them to my Norco Threshhold. They brake pretty good and pull up quick. Take a little bit to set up and to bed in, but a lot quieter than the BB7's and a bit more pricier, i got mine through Bikeman as they were a little cheaper than what they were through TRP. Yet to try them off road but on the road they seem to pull up pretty well.

cheers
