I have just rebuilt in to Mavic Open Pro clincher rims with Stainless DT Swiss Spokes in a cross 3 pattern.

The bearings are perfect, both the sprocket thread and lock ring thread are in excellent condition. One wheel nut is a bit rusty though.

These are tough Wheels for street riding or track training.

If you want them tied and soldered just ask !

You can have a look at them here :

After the discussion on the Mack hubs I was selling last week being the "Wrong Price",

www.londonfgss.com/thread32363.html

I have decided to apply a bit of logic ...

Mavic Open Pro rims x 2 = £80

DT Stainless butted Spokes £24

Build = free, I did that !

Campagnolo Large Flange record track hubs with nuts and lock ring £ ?

So you can
A Tell me if you would like them .
B Tell me how much they are worth to you.
C When we agree I will post them off to you in a custom made wheel box
D As a bonus I may be able to provide tapes tyres and tubes as well.

The current spec is: Specialized S-Works 58cm Aluminium Frame... Hi All,

I am currently putting togething my roadbike for Racing next season. The current spec is:

Specialized S-Works 58cm Aluminium Frame
Carbon Aero Post and Forks (as pictured)
Full Ultegra 6600 and 6500 groupset
Wheelsets:
- DA 7700 Hubs laced to Mavic Open Pros (Training)
- Fulcrum 7s, with red rims and red hubs (Commuting/Training)
- Cosmic Aluminium Clinchers 40mm (Racing) or Zipp Carbon Rims
(all above run with Conti GP4000s in red, as there the fastest colour)

The Ultegra groupset is currently on my Giant 90s Carbon road bike, which i will be moving across to the new build. I would like to replace the Crankset (and BB if necessary), but am unsure on which way to go.

These are my two ideas (for now);

FSA Aero Crank Arms (Rings and BB to add £55)
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=35736

These seem to be used on a number of TT bikes, not the lightest, but very stiff (i understand). I currently have a set of the track cranks which look superb.

FSA SLK Carbon Chainset (£60)
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=41436

Seem to be under a good offer. Had a very similar crankset on my previous bike and was extremely impressed.

I would be looking at a 170mm crankset (both above offers have these in stock). Any opinions on the better crankset. Gut feeling seems to be to go for the SLK.

This is a quick guide to using an angle grinder to remove braze ons and unwanted bits off bike frames and forks. This can include cable guides, light mounts, dérailleur hangers, pump clips, or just about anything. You can also use it to slim down the size of your drop outs or even cut them off totally if you know someone who can add tack ends to your frame...

OK, I find it easiest to take some old bicycle frame or forks to try it on before you commit to your favorite bike. Find an old Universal MTB frame thats been dumped somewhere for a test run. This way there will be no tears at bed time. If you have done this sort of thing before then you may not need to worry...


KIT REQUIRED:

1. Angle grinder with thin metal cutting disk and thick grinding disk
2. A medium course metal file
3. 120 grade wet and dry sandpaper (emery cloth is really good too)
4. A vice (I don't use one, but it is highly recommended if you like having fingers)

also, these are not essential, but i would recommend:

4. Safety kit i.e. a boiler suit, gloves, goggles etc.
5. A power drill with a stone grind head and a sandpaper flap wheel
6. Some old spray paint to check your work
7. Some body filler (you shouldn't need this, but hey accidents happen. Also bear in mind that this will pop out if you have the said item powder coated.)


SAFETY FIRST:

Most importantly always remember your safety and the safety of those around you. Safety equipment is always a must, especially goggles and gloves when grinding. I have spent 6 hours in A&E waiting to have metal shards drawn out of my eye due to simple, and avoidable mistakes. Make sure that you are in an area away from flammables, and i only mentioned a boiler suit because I could imagine someone going and doing it in a windbreaker style jacket. Plastic melts and catches fire easily. I only mentioned a boiler suit as an example. An old pair of jeans and a hoody will be quite substantial enough. A nylon tracksuit will not!


STEP 1:

Remove all components from frame and forks. Separate everything. I am going to demonstrate by removing the light mount from a set of rigid Claude Butler tourer bike forks. Set up your area and clamp your item up in a vice. I do not have a vice and do it by holding the forks. This is really stupid and risky. Get you angle grinder with a thin profiled metal cutting disk. Use it to cut the bulk off the are leaving a couple of millimeters sticking out.


STEP 2:

Then remove your cutting disk from the grinder and replace it with a grinding wheel. Get up close and gently nibble away at the left over bits. Remember to take your time as you may end up with some deep cuts and will have to fill the area to create a clean finish (this is fully avoidable).


STEP 3:

File the area down. This will leave a rough finish. You can then use a mixture of flap wheels on drills, and sand paper for tubing for clean the area up on tubing, leaving a smooth finish. Or if you are removing say a dérailleur hanger then a drill and grind wheel set up will be fine to round the area off.


STEP 4:
Clean up your work then maybe spray some paint ove the bare area. Allow to dry for an hour and go back and have a look. This will indicate if you are going to need to do any more work, or if you have gone a bit over kill and have to do some bodywork repairs with filler.


OK, so that is all cleaned up and ready to go. Next step painting, or better yet powder coating.

I was thinking of a Mercian 953, but dont really have a clue on what ti frame, as it seems to get double/triple butted would cost a fortune and I don't fancy spending serotta legend type money..... so maybe I have answered my own question!?

In my quest for a new life I am seriously contemplating turning my hobby into a new career as a 20th Century furniture dealer specialising in G Plan, Ercol, Eames, Panton, Welch etc. My question to forum members is do you know of any good antiques markets, flea markets, boot sales in your local areas (not neccessarily London) which might be a good source of second hand furniture/ Lighting / ceramics / fabrics. Any leads much appreciated.

While I'm at it, I will have a teak 1970's G-Plan coffee table for sale next week, PM for details if it might be your cup of tea. Thanks

PS: ebay and Gumtree are saturated before anyone suggests it!
