SamKidney Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Gorgeous! How are the brakes? (when theyre not leaking ) And that Atomz rim tape, is it the stock stuff shortened, or just whacked on? Definitely silvering up my rims now I reckon!

Carlperkins Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Its the stock stuff cut, then just wrapped round a little more and glued. Caustic soda if your rims are anodised, or nitromors if theyre painted. Then rub autosol over the rim and buff with a buffing wheel on a drill. Will get them like chrome.Oh amd the brakes are the tits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you finding the try-all carbon bars? niiiiice. i didnt think they would feel any different, but you can feel how much stiffer they are straight away.

Then Titanium goodness alround in bolt form. im back upto 8.4 now, put a DH tube in for abit while i bash some hooks lol. i never really realised how much weight you can save from wheels alone. i could probably lose alot more but CBA, i like abit of strength.

Im running a viz rear rim on a TR hub, silly light with custom rim tape, Fat Albert and light tube. Front wheel is a TR rim on a pro2 haha. Heavyishh, but that hubs getting switched out for an SL. Lighter pedals are going on, and I have some Echo SL cranks coming to me sometime next week. Treating myself to a Try-All 3D stem and some carbon bars at some point too. Should bring.it right down.
