I have to agree. Here's a good example:

Not sure if it's what you're talking about but a quick google search led me to this (requires flash). Click an icon to add a part, click the same icon to remove it (took me a while to figure that last part out)

I'm building up a KHS Aero, but it is currently lacking a fork.

Should I:

OR,

OR,

I think black or white would look good, but I was hoping to go threaded vs threadless... Also, not sure if that KHS 100 is the proper rake to follow (37.5mm claimed rake) but the All city is 30mm, and the scrod-fork is 41mm

i'm on velocity b43 rims. thinking of changing wheelsets to the mavic ellipses. also looking at the miche pistards (not as keen on these as i have an all black setup and the spokes and hubs on this wheelset are silver).

any opinions on this? i mostly just ride around town, occasionally for a slightly farther distance with friends on the weekends.

They're heavy. You'll be fine. If you think it'll make you happy do it!

yeah.. but should be lighter than b43 rims though?

b43.. getting a bit tired of the deep dish.. thought of going for a slightly subtler look and also to get a weight reduction at the same time.

read up a bit and the Mavic seem ok for the money.. tried looking for Reynolds Recons but no luck.. are there other options out there i haven't considered yet?

If you don't mind having to put something together that doesn't come stock I recommend mavic open pro's to miche or some equivalent hub with some nice spokes. light and strong

If you are doing anything besides competitive racing on this bike, everything you are looking at is overkill. In this case, you should spend your money whatever way you want.

thanks for the info. will read up a bit more on putting a wheel together.


thanks for the honest input. appreciate comments like these. yup not going to be doing competitive racing.. just have a bit of extra cash to spare and an itch to scratch.

I want to start building wheels, and park is a good brand right?

Yes, Park is (most of the time) a brand you can trust. Get it or I will! ;)

I think im going to get the one from the for sale subforum here. Cheaper and I would rather trust a fellow BF'er than a cl post

Should I remove the Alexrim stickers on my rims? I've been keeping them on there because the red accents tie the red on my saddle in a little better with the rest of the bike since the only other red is the headbadge. They're just peeling up a little on the edges now and I don't know whether to peel them off or try to preserve them. Link to pedalroom for pics in my sig.

I think you should keep them on there.

Peel em off shcwinn

Take them off 'coz weight weenie.

That's a pretty cheap one only good for trueing, you'll need a dish tool as well with that stand. You can use their pro stands to build wheels without having to use a dish tool, assuming the stand is calibrated well.

Take them off, it'll look more epic ;]

I want some bullhorns, should I do RB-021, or RB-002?

Go for RB-002's.

Sure.

Should I max out of credit card, going further into debt, to finish my bike before winter snow hits?

N+1

You'll have a long winter to browse eBay and craigslist for good off season deals. Finishing it now will get you a couple weeks of riding but nothing to work on and keep you busy this winter. Also, credit card debt sucks and you'll have plenty of time to search out the best deals instead of rushing to get it done.

@jesse - Which build is it for? I really like my 021's. The deeper drop on them feels great and +10 aero, +5 charisma.

/sarcasm

lol, tots right, it'd be stooooopid, although I am really anxious to ride it
