straight 1 1/8″ head tube
Sorry about that… Wasn’t even aware that there are really 1 1/8″ head tubes around! 🙄
Questions:
Bottom Cup headset, found these two solutions:
Hope EC44/40 or Cane Creek EC44/40. They both sell for a bit under 40 Euros.
“Hope” or “Cane Creek” is the better option?
Low cost wheel: Mavic Crossride 29″, boost, 21mm, new for 75 Euros – an o.k. solution? Tire and tube is still o.k. and can be used.
The bike is my winter “mud bike”. Will add up the repair (130 mm Fox fork plus(bottom part)headset plus 29″ boost wheel) to 314 Euros.
Ideal would be around three or four further years of winter / crappy weather / condition biking with my “ugly HT XC sled”.
Will the stuff last? Any lower cost proposals (front boost wheel)? Hope or Cane Creek?
