Thread: New MTB projects

Looking good Pete .

I'm interested to know how the ZTR Flows go. I nearly went that way recently, but ended up sticking with the trusty Mavic XM719.

I've built up stans rims for the wife's bike and they are average. Not rolled straight or true so they are a mission to build. Just like Sun who apparently make them for Stans.
The Mavics may be priced at retarded levels, but they build up so nicely compared to Stans.
I'm running XM719's on my main bike too.

Interesting you have had issues Dougal,

Both of my bikes have Stans Flows, although both sets were built by Hope Hoops.

The ones on the Norco are the older flow, as opposed to these flow ex's but I am very happy with them so far.

Running dead true so far. (fingers crossed!)

ZTR Olympics on that set of wheels.
The poor rolling means you have to choose between even spoke tension or a round wheel when building. I always go for the round wheel, but the difference in round-ness and hence spoke tension difference is about a magnitude higher than building Mavics.

That set I built with DT revolution spokes, I run DT comp's on my wheels and her heavier duty wheels.

Update from last nights progress. I will shorten the brake hoses aswell yet, and tidy up the routing into the rear calliper.

fox forgot to paint their forks this season

Coming up good Pete, will be ready for me early next week yeah?

That seat post is gonna hurt....

I didn't know CC were doing an air double barrel. Expectations on that will be high, hope it matches up.
