Think the xr2 are all gone does anyone know if the cannoli is folding or wire bead ?

Thanks everyone for chipping in, my faith in people has been restored. Realise now that benpinnick had offered the Sapim polyax info but I was still too grumpy to realise..so eBay has ryanforspokes selling polyax nips £5 for 100 and with the money saved I shall probably plant some trees !

@bigyan cheers that information is spectacular !

Dam ,survivor you’re reinforcing my grump ! Still heading towards aci as they come with 12mm brass nipples will see if the soulder and washer look ok or If l may be in for a lot of retentioning as they settle together

@mr greeny made me smile got the feeling he has a lot of experience with Roady wheels and some strong views on proprietary parts which I mostly agree with .
Trying to keep the wheel build price down as really trying to keep an old bike going untill the second hand bike market settles into something I can afford . Struggling to understand the pricing of squorx nips best I can find is £30 on 100 for brass .Don’t think they have extra thread they look like they have the same amount as 12mm nips but with extra unicorn magic . Now I am beginning to sounding contancerous !

Cycle basket is the cheapest by some ways,even with extra .Spokefromryan was helpful but sujested that I would either have to use squorx or Sapim double square nipples with the DT Swiss washers both of these are alloy which I don’t like so thank you everyone for your advice

Thanks Mr northwind aci and cycle basket looking good

Thanks ,these rims are not new though they do come with the washers been a while since building a wheel wondering how different the shoulder on the squorx are

Have thought about spokes and re dish and agree with Spaniard climber that running out of thread will be the issue but I won’t know until I try just need to get enough clearance for the tyre the double adapter/new disc option is close to a new hub price it’s why I was trying to get some real world feedback ,again thanks for the advice

Thanks all come to the conclusion that a 10mm spacer non disc side and reddish  is the simplest/cheapest though finding that spacer…jtech will make me one for a tenner which is awesome leaving this for others in my situation

think the hub is bontrager finding it difficult to find an adapter other than now8

For me part of the joy of fat bikes is that it’s not about the kit.I got a second hand dune with 1×10 and deore brakes cheapest bike I own really enjoying just riding now.

Lenovo tab 4 plus worth a look ,good spec nice screen

Its taken me three months to get use to the rigid type riding after years of full sus .I am riding rocky (unforgiving) terrain and find if I want to ride fast it needs a lot more focus and awarnes of what you are riding over .Slow riding tech can be awsome !

Similar idea to momo zip tied piece of mudguard to rear triangle keeps alot of crap out.Could also try silicone polish on rear making it difficult for mud to stick.Suprised the wheel locked as theres loads of room there must have some pretty heavy clay round youre way

Trying 1×10 round here at the moment (came on a bike I bought) 30×40 its ok but i miss my granny ! you can get up most stuff with a bit of gurning (penny steps still taunts me)but after 20 miles I begin to think about 2×10 and its sit down and enjoy the scenery gearing !

Only negative I have found after a years ridding electrons are that the pins are a narrower guage,this has led to a bit more wear on me shoes.Light and tough enough with good seals on the bearings

5’8″ here with 60mm stem ,its a nice reach for me on the medium

Cheers people

anyone know the spindle length on the dune bb ? Also a cheap servicable replacement ? the on-one bb seems to have dishapeared .

mat at blazzing saddles was trying to get a techy group going currently riding monday but was thinking of changing day to build up the group.like the idea of a simple email list ,put me down as a casual please

thanks for your replies will take a selection then now …. just tyres to fret over …..clutch sx ? :wink:

thanks for reply’s ,pads, bought superstar for years generally fine swopped discs for new including rotor bolts suspect the squeel is to do with pad/calliper/piston interface. Have bled them enough ,even took them off the bike to get as full a vertical bleed as possible but of late not been able to get the softish feel from the levers.Will ring merlin and see what they say cheers all .

What day you thinking….also distance, I am riding weekend could show you about 25-35 miles (mail in profile)

No retainers (the metal outeouter bits) from y frame thanks though :-)

adding my thanks ,was a nice warm evening cheers all

pp, just resigned ! swampi cheers good links , al the implied awsumness from these rims is gonna make me mega ! boxelder, made me laugh takisawa quite right too thanks for responses everyone

+1 pictonroad save yourself the calories, feel good , help others ………whats not to like about giving stuff to schemes that help more people cycle

Rickt -Time usually means a couple of ups and a couple of downs, theres not much along .Road doesnt need to be ridden that often , I am just a rider in the group , a man called Simon has set it up but as said its a new group. Toffer – all welcome .Dan was that the day I face planted the tree ? (chuckle)

Rickt-depends on who turns up / abilities / conditions ……. friendly group of people who like riding bikes ,tonight is looking wet but will be fun in company ( 2-3 hr ride)

Thanks for the information every one ,looking forward to a slow journey
