This looks uber nice man
I'm just trying to work out how it can be soo light haha
From what I can tell, it's got what looks to be a heavier build than my Sub yet it's about 2 lbs lighter!
Must be the top secret Ti NS Traffic frame you've got there xD
Either that, or you're saving the weight in the stem, hubs, seat and pedals
Siiick build anyways, wish I had the cash for an 831 Big Grin

Damn nice build! How is the nobby nic for street type riding? I had one on my FR orientated build and it was sweet, but never really road it on anything that wasnt dirty.

Nice bike man. Was wondering what gear ratio you were using? Also what brand chainring? Thanks

ridinfree0freeridin (Nov 3, 2010 at 17:58)

Cheers, atm i run 32 13, perfect chain tension but fairly hard, and its a renthal ring.

ridinfree0freeridin (Dec 21, 2010 at 13:47)

pretty sick tbh, not had them out properly tested yet though tbh, crap weather and end of season killed it...

nikemikerules (Dec 21, 2010 at 13:55)

i am thinkign about them but i dunno if they are worth risk as there no reviews about them

ridinfree0freeridin (Dec 21, 2010 at 13:58)

which ones, they have 3 rims out atm, with more on the way... and a rims a rim at the end of the day, theyre a decent price, decent weight, decent spec, what could go wrong.

is that a pro3? if so how?

ridinfree0freeridin (Oct 29, 2010 at 14:37)

It is, and easy, hope do a 15mm conversion for it, just like any hub.

bikerboywill (Oct 29, 2010 at 14:42)

rreallllyyyy, hmm never seen them before! cant find any on crc, cheers for the info tho! makes me able to have a dishless wheel build Big Grin

ridinfree0freeridin (Nov 2, 2010 at 12:21)

buy straight from hope, not crc Smile

ridinfree0freeridin (Nov 2, 2010 at 12:22)

failing that dartmoor do a 15mm specific brakeless hub that weighs like 10g more Smile

bikerboywill (Nov 2, 2010 at 12:24)
