New wheels ready to go. [0]

Now, all I need is the frame. And that should be coming soon!


[h1]wanna see it bigger? click it![/h1]

Eno eccentric rear hub, Mavic 501 front. Wheelsmith 14/15 spokes, laced 3x. Black Brass nipples from DT, and black Velocity Aeroheat rims, 32°. Both of these hubs are super smooth and buttery, spinning forever in my hands. I can't wait to get them out on the road and get 'em dirty!

The frame they'll be going on is a Kona Jake the Snake scandium and a matching P2 fork. Onza Ho canti's, pulled by Shimano levers, an old Ringle stem and a Titec Ti post. Stronglight cranks too. I'm hoping for something in the 19-20 lb range after all is said and done. Can't wait!

How much were the wheels?

with that hub I'll assume yer going SS. Aeroheat? are those the tubs? if so what are the tires, they look huge!

Umm not much actually. I built them myself(I LOVE building wheels, this was my 50th set), so that cost wasnt' there. Bought the 501 off of ebay for $20 or so. The rear hub I traded a Fixed Dura ace rear wheel for, so there really wasn't a cost there. I did buy the rims, but I had anice tie in at my LBS and got them and the spokes for cost. I'd say total outlay was $100.

Yep, I'm a SSaholic. I love the simplicity. It's harder, especailly in cross, but the bike is SOOO much lighter! Not tubies. Standard clinchers here. I've got too many clincher tires to justify a tubie set of wheels. The tires mounted are Ritchey MountCross 38c's. I've also got a 42c Ritchey, a set of Michelin Muds, Specailized tri-cross and others I can't think of. I'm a tire ***** too.

The aeroheats are about $40 each, spokes about $0.60 each, black brass nipples a dime each, and the Eno is about $150 which comes out to about $270. You got all that for $80? Does you "tie in at the LBS" involve weapons? Also the DA track hub is worth more than $100.

Nice set of wheels you got there. I have the same plans as you, a White Eno to ss the thing, only problem they send me the wrong ENO hub. I wanted the fixed/free eccentric but got a free only eccentric. So the wait is on the good hub, the other one will end up in my mtb.

I hope that my frame/fork will show up today at my shop. Then I can hold it tomorrow and do nothing for a while , cause of the little problem mentioned above.

My setup will consist of a Kinesis Crosslight Pro 2, matching fork, Thomson stem and post, Spooky brakes, Ritchey bar, Shimao levers and tektro topmounts, Eno/DT/Open Pro wheels. Front hub will problably be a Ultegra one. Final build will be in 7.5 to 8.5 kilo's (yes I'm one of those metric types), depending on the set up, cx or road.

I want to see pics of finished bike, please post pics when it's ready. I will post pics as soon as I got the bike build.

cheers

Yup. $40 for one rim, $28 for the other, spokes were roughly $0.25 each, and the Eno I count as a trade since the DA fixxie hub was on a bike I bought at one point(Biekswap trade last fall). Trust me, no wepons were used in this transfer of goods.
