okay…so apart from being a tribal member there’s this SL hub and wheel coming to me from Jesse at CycleOps…first batch release now…I hope they’re okay!!!
I have been waiting on mine as well.
What are you building it up with?
Mine:
Dave Thomas SpeedDream set with:
PT SL Hub 28h
King front hub 24h
Velocity AeroHead rims (405g), Sapm spokes, al nips
Should weigh around 1700g I suspect. Pretty light for a powermeter wheelset!
I hope to see the hub later this month, going on my new '05 E5.
Hey Gary,
Good to talk to you…mine’s coming on a Mavic Open Pro rim with 32 spokes…the standard bullet-proof wheel…yours sounds good…I really rate the Mavic Open Pro wheels…dunno why people insist on the Ksyriums when you can have a light set with these…with the hub it’ll be heavier but not bothered…
At the moment I have the Orbea back at the factory cos it has that problem with the noise I told you about…loud shearing noise when at race pace coming from bottom bracket area…
So I have the 2nd bike out and about…I may stick Rotors here too to get full benefits…I can’t think what the advantage is with having a bike I’m gonna do 100% of indoor training with and the Rotors only used on the road on a Sunday ride…
