oh man, box section tubulars. you know how to hit the soft spot in my heart, nothing cooler than box section tubbies
Posted about 11 years ago
thanks man, I sure do love them. Makes me want to build up a set of Mavic Reflex tubbies too. Box section rims just look so damn good.

I would love a power meter like yours, that is probably going to be the next purchase
Posted about 11 years ago
powertaps are pretty cheap these days (compared to many other power meters).
Posted about 11 years ago
yeah I think I've seen Open Pro's laced to a powertap for about 900 Australian $'s for the rear wheel, wouldn't mind it at all.
Posted about 11 years ago
yeah, 900 really cant be beat. plus no sensors strapped to your frame!

that chubby stem plus the fact that its a system6 = stiffest bike known to man
Posted about 11 years ago
hahaha, love me some chubby stems. I don't think they made System Six stems in 130mm or else I would be running one of them instead, but the Easton is probably just as stiff anyway
Posted about 11 years ago
yeah theyre both significantly chubby! is your bottom bracket threaded?
Posted about 11 years ago
yes, this frame not having BB30 is a bit of a shame and a blessing at the same time. It would be cool to run Hollowgrams like my Saeco but pressfit bearings are so annoying to install and you can't really beat Shimano's threaded 68mm external BB's for durability, price and ease of installation. SRAM external BB's are pretty crummy and I'm not a giant fan of their cranks either so I will either be going for a FSA SLK crank, or a Rotor one which explains the Shimano BB against the SRAM groupo

ahh, i didnt realize they made system6's with both. but i understand, i feel a bit vulnerable with bb30. i know i can work on every part of my bike at my house, except the bottom bracket. dont have the tools, nor am i brave enough to try.
Posted about 11 years ago
yeah I know what you mean. Some people are game enough to smack those bearing outs with a screwdriver but I'm not one of them, especially with the tolerances in the machining for the original BB30 shells being very specific and exact. It would really suck if you eventually had a permanent creaky noise coming from your BB because of your own handy work.
