The QUICK question thread.....

I'd still go silver, even with black hubs just for the contrast. My front XTR hub has a silver shell centre with black flanges, and the silver spokes still give that bit of zing. My roadies both have all-black wheels and they just look bleugh.

Purple hubs?

Where is that spew emoji?!

 

[pink poodle]

I think purple ano nipples.

That should also have been part of the original quick Q. Silver hub as well haha or silver hub with black spokes.
Fuck, too many combos to think about. Back to procrastination.

Silver hub, black spokes and silver/chrome nipples into the black hoops would look awesome and add some contrast. Maybe to subtle though.

Chrome spokes on brushed alloy ano hubs with black rims unless it's chrome spokes on blue ano hubs and brushed alloy rims or...and I'm no help at all.

I think purple ano nipples.

No matter how many times you hook a car battery to your nipples they are only purple because of the alligator clamps and will go back to normal when the bruising and swelling subsides.

I don't do coloured hubs but I do like the look of I9 hubs/spoke builds, even in the funky colours... just to look at.

I got this built up recently for shits and giggles after killing a rear rim...

I am about to install roller bearing shock bushings on my scout. Do I need to put a little grease on the rollers?

Yes

 

[pink poodle]

Yes

Thanks. I thought so, but was also warry of being excessive.

Is a saddle fit worth it?
Doing more commuting hours on the bike to the trail head and seem to get a bit sore on the saddle.

Push through the pain until you develop the callouses.

I love my seat but maybe its a bit too 'gravity' focussed.

So you love it when descending? when its nowhere near your arse?

I'll bet he descends seated.

I meant to say its probably a more gravity focussed saddle as opposed to something designed with sit bones in mind.

Isn't that the way? Grip the seat with your cheeks lean the berm with your knees almost touching the top tube like a motorbike.

Don’t forget inside foot out and point toes at front axle.

Don’t forget inside foot out and point toes at front axle.

What? You run the foot perpendicular to the frame when cornering, heel out for leverage.


Also my SDG bel air sees a fair few km wedge up my arse. It is comfortable.
