Pulled apart my Suntour Superbe Pro headset on the Gibbs. Cleaned it all and re-greased it.

Super smooth now!

We’re gonna need some pics.

I rode my Llewellyn today fixed. The first time since Christmas 2009 that I’ve ridden fixed.

I have the exact same hubs as yours. Laced it with Velo Orange rims with some no-brand Taiwan made spokes. Pretty heavy IMHO. How do you like yours?

FreckL · June 12, 2011, 11:00pm

Where did you get the straps from dayne??

jaseyjase · June 12, 2011, 11:25pm

i had previous set laced to some aeroheads, smooth as butter. Im no racer, but im a fan.

After dismantling these current ones, i noticed one of the cones is heavily pitted, so need to find some new ones.

I’ll be doing a photo shoot this week waiting for my bros 7d,
The straps were from gypo he got them ages ago on eBay I think but gearbrisbane has some new cinelli doubles in.
I love it now just waiting for my new projects to arrive this week

Pulled the Malvern Star apart, started rebuilding it in Roobaix / commuter mode.

It now has…

Suntour Sprint laced to Fiamme with a new Rando on the back.
Unknown Suntour road hub laced to Campagnolo Gamma with a Schwalbe Durano Plus (700x25c) on the front.
3ttt Competizione Gimondi bars with a Cinelli stem
Dia Compe aero brake levers (one connected, one dummy)
Old Shimano brake caliper

I just need to trim the brake cable and connect it, tape up the bars, clean and regrease the chain… then it’s finished.

I flipped the stem on my cross bike to make it more like my mountain bike, and flipped the stem up on my roadie to make it more like my cross bike.

rowanD · June 16, 2011, 1:54am

was bored with the cell, through on some spares to see if it made a difference. new tyres/wheels/stem/saddle, wiggle sent me a splined cog instead of a track cog so once that is resent will have new cog/lockring/chain aswell.

HLC · June 16, 2011, 2:16am

did it make a difference?
