      Tickle Fritz the main problem was that we didn’t have enough time. We could have finished the build but we probably needed a couple of extra hours.

    Awesome build, but if this is a mountain goat weight weenie build I would opt for a different powermeter/crank option to really lower the weight. A regular GXP sram red is only 569 grams and maybe add a single side Stages. If neeed dual powermeter maybe look at the Assioma duo pedals =)

    Jumping to the 200 grit didn’t polish out any of the larger gouges made by the 600. Start at 600, then 800, then 1000, then 1200 and maybe to 2000 if needed. Smaller steps will equal and more even finish and way less scratches!!

    • @ridesofjapan
      @ridesofjapan  5 років тому

      Mark did a lot of research on this and came to the conclusion that it *might* not be necessary. A bit of car wax for UV protection. Since the bike are kept inside as well they are not really exposed to the elements apart from the actual riding.
      So it’s a bit of test, If something unexpected happens with them I will do a follow up.
      This is only in context of the seatpost, A full frame might be a different story though.

      I wouldn't say mainstream, but looking at user feedback there's very few negative comments. Taking the price into account you could argue that they offer more value for money than any of their "big" brands.

      Frame weight was with head set, seat post collar, hanger included so you can probably shave off 150-200g if you wanna compare it to the big brands "naked weight" claims.

    How does he rate the veloflexes compared to say a GP4000?

    • @1977markfielding
      @1977markfielding 5 років тому

      joris ermens Dom hasn’t ridden GP4000 so he can’t compare unfortunately. I’ve ridden veloflex roubaix tubs (which are exactly the same as Dom’s, but with black walls) and GP4000 clinchers (not tubs) so it’s a bit of an unfair comparison. The veloflex feel noticeably nicer

    other +600 grams and it's a bike that you can use in race. Probably have no sense push down the weight under 7 kg, better work on rotation / spinning things. Any way the bike is fantastic. 58 with discs..Gokiso wheels...and different crank will be for me perfect.

      Jason Peters I get them from my local DIY shop. Here in Japan, getting gloves that fit (and shoes for that matter) is pretty difficult. I go with XL but the fingers are still too short for my foreign fingers. Obviously Japanese people with particularly big hands have shorter fatter fingers. If I could get the right size, I would.

    Heavy fork, not a particularly light frame (especially for a 54cm)... and this is supposed to be a lightweight bike?? A shim for the front mech band?? Then again, his other bike is a Field, and they're basically boat anchors, so I guess this must feel light to him. Parts list full of fragile parts (except the eeBrakes, they're the best in the market) - looks like he's gone with a middle weight frame and fork, a reliable groupset and the other parts: light, expensive and fragile (that Berk saddle for example - can't tell you how many Berk products I've seen fail miserably). Not something I'd like to be flying down a col at 90kph on thanks very much.

      Kim Roberts what uncut fork weighs 220g? A THM scapula with 300mm steerer is 280g . Also, his frame is including the headset, hanger so take those out the equation and you will be in the 800’s for the frame only.
      Btw, my Berk saddle has been used for a few years and has an everesting and high rouleur under its belt. Still going strong.

      @@1977markfielding Good for you. I've seen many Berk products fail - both positions are anecdotal, both have validity. Nobody rides an uncut steerer, weight the fork cut and ready to ride. I AM talking about a frame with the hanger and headset - at a 54cm that should weight @800 grams. Not my fault his frame and fork are heavy for what they are, he's the one claiming they're ultra light, I'm pointing out that no, they're not ultra light.

    Lot of money for not a particularly light frame, especially when you consider it has a crappy pressfit bottom bracket and no front mech hanger. However, that probably means it doesn’t handle like a piece of over cooked spaghetti. Build looks lovely though. Shame about the socks on the outside of the tights!!!!!
