Starting a new build and could use a few pointers. It seemed after some reading around the net that pacers
or Kilo racers have used smaller wheels. I've read and understand the possible dis/advantages it may have, but does anyone have experience with smaller wheels on the track? Good 650c tubular rims are hard to find,
suggestions? Hardest thing to figure out so far is the trail I'll need on the front end and if I should adjust my drawing for the severe drop it will have. What seat angle is most appropriate? The build is/will be as follows:
Spicer Custom Kilo frame w/ Kinesis Airfoil 650c Aluminum fork(rake is ~35)
Star or Dura Ace 7600 headset Salsa or Yamaguchi stem(maybe a Nitto Pearl)
Thomson zero setback seatpost Ariake Jaguar II saddle
Dura Ace 7800 165mm cranks(yes road) Dura Ace 7701 Spd-R pedals
Front Wheel Accell II disc or Dura Ace 7600 to ADX1-S
Rear Wheel Phil Wood to Zipp 360(?) or Phil Wood to ADX1-S (adjusted axle for chainline)
Got most of the parts just looking for that front disk(I know....) at a good price and some good rims.
