Fixed gear bikes/ Post your big bikes V2

I've always heard good things about Hope headset bungs, never used one though.

[reebzor]

Can you use it without the FSA top cap or is the black piece beneath it attached?

Yeah, the black top cap and screw is all one piece so you have to use the FSA one.

Upgraded a few bits.

Ordered Thomson bits for my road bike today, bored of having mismatched Deda parts. Booking flights to go to Mallorca to ride up the Salad Cobra again soon. Can't wait for that.

How does the CCDB feel? Scout with a coil shock seems like a fun trailbike.

Very good. I've only been riding mountain bikes for a few months now. I had a hardtail that was over a decade old for trail riding and I would borrow downhill bikes from my friends for the occasional bike park session. I built this bike to do a bit of both and it seems to be pretty good at it. I'm still dialing in the CCDB and it's already the best bike I've ever ridden. Kind of feels like an old SC Heckler but better at climbs. Here's probably the only clip I have of riding it:

I'm glad to see you've taken your riding outdoors.

Bought some carbon Thomson bars a few weeks ago and finally fitted them on Friday. Ditched my cages and bottles for the Fabric Cageless bottle too, have a feeling it's going to be a bit of a faff to use when riding along.

[ron_weasley_T1]

Those sisl cranks though 😍

[Dr. Steve Brule]

I like the idea of those bottle cages but yeah seems like it could be a faff on the road.

You deffo need some nice tyres on there, some 25mm Vittoria Corsas or something, will be night and day.

Should be out on it tomorrow if I slow down on the cider so will find out.

How are the Corsas? Most the lads at work are on GP4000's and I was going to put some of those on for summer. The only thing I really want to do now is change the wheels but I'm fussy on the way they look so everything's leading to Mavics with Exalith rims.

[Dr. Steve Brule]

4000s are great but Vittoria are even better. Gumwall too for bonus sexiness. Mavics are solid but a bit old fashioned by today's standards, all about width nowadays, they've always had really narrow rims. New models might be better though, not looked into those.
