With a cutout for the battery or plug?

Anyhow, I'm in no financial shape to buy another bike at the moment... =/

The economy has really gone to **** when leuky says he can't afford it.

hamish5178 10-16-11 09:07 PM

Starting to desire a brake on either my Kilo or my Mash. Problem is neither of them have viable front wheels (yes ellipse is machined but why needlessly wear the black off?).

Considering purchasing a MSW black Aerospoke to run the brake on. . .

Should I?

Seriously? I can't imagine seeing a 'spok on your Mash. Maybe your Kilo, but even then it's pushing it.

Get a front Kinlin XR-270 build kit from Scrod. He can sell you just one instead of both.

Unless aforementioned spohk is $75 or less, the answer is no.

Physically pick one up and you will have your answer.

hamish5178 10-16-11 09:19 PM

But a machined wheel is just so boring :(

redpear 10-16-11 09:22 PM

Damn, listen to this hater.

I like it :P

EpicSchwinn 10-16-11 09:25 PM

Should I put drops and hoods on this? I like the feeling of hoods and drops more than riser bars but I don't know if it will look too out of place. Probably would need a longer stem to pull it off since the fork is hueg liek xbox

Maybe the correct answer to my aerospoke question was "disc brake"


hm...

mountain drops

EpicSchwinn 10-16-11 10:07 PM

I thought about mountain drops but I think they look awkwardly wide. I was thinking more along the lines of anatomic drops. For the most part I just use this bike to get around campus and I would like it to be a little more useful for 3-10mi trips.

If you're considering a composite wheel with a machined braking surface, 850g Lolergy > 2500g Arrospok. Also cheaper and more suspenseful to ride.

This is certainly a way to put it.

+1 on the disc brake.

Should I sell my Nitto RB-021's and buy compact drops+hoods for my schwinn? I find neither my RB's or my Road Champ drops to be comfortable in any one position for more than 10 minutes.
