Lol you guys are probably right.

Still might happen doe.

Womp.

What would you build up, front or rear?

@GMJ if you like steel I say bareknuckle. I know it wasn't one of your options, but it's like the godzilla but you can spare a hundred to put into the build.

yummygooey 02-26-12 01:08 PM

I'll get the complete front wheel and build the rear to something reasonable.

I've been thinking about a Circus Monkey hub.

Might feel dumb lacing such an expensive rim to such a cheap hub doe.

Don't worry about it. You have a $200 GPS sitting on your stem! :lol:

yummygooey 02-26-12 04:33 PM

$155 :)

adriano 02-26-12 04:34 PM

nice hubs if you ask me. i have used quite pricey cxrays with mine.

yummygooey 02-26-12 04:41 PM

Good to know. I've been interested in them for awhile now... almost bought a set a couple months ago for a future build. Those were the spokes I was considering as well.

UCF Eric 02-26-12 10:43 PM

I like the gold, keep it gold.

xkillemallx16 02-26-12 10:56 PM

Stay gold, Jaytronboy.

Should I drill out the Kagero fork to accept a brake, buy a new fork that's already drilled, or should I just htfu and run brakeless?

Nagrom_ 02-26-12 11:16 PM

cost of each option?

hairnet 02-26-12 11:19 PM

drill it

ddeadserious 02-26-12 11:22 PM

1. Drill it - Likely cheap from my LBS. He already offered, said they could do it, no big deal.
2. New fork - I haven't found a replacement fork that I'd like yet, but I wouldn't spend more than $200 on one.
3. Run brakeless - Could be free and everything could be fine. Could kill/maim myself or my bike from my stupidity or someone else's.

xkillemallx16 02-26-12 11:32 PM

Drill it son.

If it's a frame you really like and you want to run a brake, go for it. Better to be safe than sorry, or risk yourself/bike. Resale value wont be damaged much, and once again, if its a frame you want to keep fro a while you shouldn't be worrying about it. New fork would be pricey, might not fit geo, not look that good, etc.
