I'm interested in finding out a few more things about certain parts of this build. Back in the day when I was riding a few years back, Trialtech wasn't around as far as I'm aware. Are the hubs any good? Chris King + Fun Bolts was always the best, wondering if this is still the case? Same question for cranks, bb etc. I never had to worry about the RS7's, does the Trialtech equipment hold up in a similar regard?
What are user experiences with the Maggy Louise front brake? The Avid cable disk was easily the best brake I ever owned, has it been superseded and is the Louise as good? Also I'm pretty keen to explore running the front cable through the steerer tube. Is this possible with a hydraulic brake?
Are the Inspired rims pretty strong?
Sorry about all the questions, have searched and found some stuff but keen to hear more, it's been a while!
Cheers.
