Can't wait! ETA?

As soon as the midget strippers arrive and the light is just right.

So for my 725 build I plan on building B43's but i'm not sure what hubs to use. Anyone have any suggestions on what would work best with them for fixed gear?

How about these? (Free plug for Scrod)

FOER rims from Scrod are also significantly lighter than B43s (though still not "light") and are a similar depth. You might want to look into those as well.

MurderedOut 06-02-11 04:10 PM

Ok for sure i'll check them out though i'll be doing a lot of riding in NYC so I want durability and weight isn't really a concern.

Those look good have you used them before? Can the take a bit of a beating from horrible road conditions?

Scrodzilla 06-02-11 04:17 PM

Ha...thanks for the plug.

Those Novatecs are unbranded All-City standard track hubs and can take whatever you can throw at them.

MurderedOut 06-02-11 04:19 PM

Ok sweet. Are the cog and lockring interchangeable?

I just checked out those rims. not to keen on the logo on the rim. That was one of the reasons I like the B43 besides being pretty durable.

Scrodzilla 06-02-11 04:31 PM

The decals on the FOER 41s peel right off (I hate them too).

Yeah, any standard cog/lockring can be used on the Novatec hubs.

I haven't. They seem very nice though.

MurderedOut 06-02-11 05:00 PM

@Scrod Ok thanks a lot

I was also looking at Chub Hub and Phil wood hubs any thoughts?

i might be selling her tho... i want gears... and ive changed the saddle height, this was from a while ago when i finished the build.

Does any place sell the foer wheels built up already? Also, I'm sure this has been coved somewhere but is there a big difference in quality between the Visp and leader frames? I'm leaning towards the leader 725. Thanks.

Nope the only place I know that sells them is retrogression.

Yes there is a difference between VISP and leaders; leaders are lighter and the quality control for leader makes VISP's quality control a far cry. Proof is leader through their primary distribute coghouse, putting a whole bunch of leader frames with minor, I mean minor, hairline scratches/ chips in paint up on ebay as factory second frames for penny auctions.

Cool. Leader it is!

Got a great deal on this for my 725 build. Gold Sugino 75 cranks w/ 46T Zen chainring. Putting it on a phil wood bb. Str8 sexy:thumb:

CarbonCopiez 06-05-11 03:18 AM

I just ordered a Leader 2010 725 TR V2 (51Cm) frame,so now I need a fork, but I'm looking for a different fork Other than the "Leader Reaper" or the "Leader Polish Gloss", could any help with telling me the exact size of any other fork that could fit the Leader 725 frame?.....

Leukybear 06-05-11 03:19 AM

o.O gold cranks are notoriously hard to fit into a build and still have it be aesthetically pleasing....

I'd have to disagree. Your bike reflects your personality. If you got style your bike obviously will look good. Here's my old bike and it looks great with gold cranks and my current build will look much sexier
