New pic with more parts in!

For the background I use something called "galon" in swedish, Im not sure what that is on english.

From www.zhibike.ru I cant understand a shit what it says on the site but if you give them a mail they help you out on english.

My winter project, hope it will be done to the summer.

Here is my new rear wheel. I laced it up myself and it turned out to be very good!

The coloured parts are anadoized but I mean the silver parts. Guess they are "just aluminium" and no anadoizing on them. I have checked the pics on Tartys but its hard to say. I realy hate that high gloss/shiny finish.

I wounder if the Echo, Zoo, Adamant parts like hubs, handlebars and cranks in silver are flat/brushed or glossy/polished aluminium?

Here is a new SS hub I think, I have never seen it before anyway. Anyone tried it yet? CRC

Will a Chris King cog fit on a Echo fixed 26" rear hub or is it only Echos own cogs that fit?

How wide is a profile bb? Do they make 128mm axels?

Every now and then people at this forum asks about white hubs. And to all of you, check this out! VIZ

Im a painter, not painting art. I paint apartments, houses. You know, putting up wallpaper and so. Bit of a heavy job but the money is quite good.

Ok. So if I buy that brake in 180mm from Tartys then I will get the same brake as the 160mm but I get an adaptor aswell to fit the 180mm rotors. Am I right?

On the Hope mono trial brake or the TryAll one, is the caliper diffrent on the 160mm and the 180mm version or do you just got a adaptor so it will fit diffrent size rotors.

White rims and the new white Monty handlebar at Tartys!

Try the new Monty freewheel and let us know how it is!

White rims and the rest black. Or maybe VIZ or Zhi parts in purple would look cool.

Dont be to sure. Sometimes my girlfriend says Im stupid, but she may have her reasons

For 36 holes and 3 cross pattern it should be 255mm on left side and 253 on right side. I use DT spoke calculator for this, thats a good one I think and easy to use. Do they even make the 07 Echo in 36 holes? Cant find it on Tartys anyway!

People is not stupid for thinking that some parts are cool. Maybe everyone dont like what you like. If you like everything black go for it but I want call you stupid for that. And according to Martyn he can continue spinning in his grave I dont care. Guess John Lennon is spinning in his grave if he heard all the shit misic that are made today. But thats how it is, as time goes new trends will come.

If you had a TryAll rim with 32 holes and 3 cross pattern your spokes are 262 and 261, or at least they should be. Im not sure if spokes comes in diffrens of 1mm. I think its 260mm, 262mm, 264mm and so on. If you need 257mm allways go for the longer one, in this case 258mm. Anyway thats what I think and was told when I learned to build wheels.

If its a 32 hole made with a 3 cross pattern it should be 258 on left side and 257 on the right side

No its not. The mavic hub is for a 20mm axel, the ones on a suspensionfork. I just checked Zhibike.com and they have just released disc front hubs that looks like in the picture shape wice but not in that colour. Maybe that colour is something special for thier team raider. Dont think they look so good in yellow but its allways interesting with new parts.

Could be, but I have seen a few Zhi riders who have thoose. If it was custom painted it would be more likely that just one rider had it.

I have seen this yellow hub on some Zhi bikes now but I dont know what brand it is. I thought it was Zhi but I cant find them on their site.
