Project Hyrax: johnny's build thread

[johnny]

Crap, wasn’t aware of that PayPal fuckery.
But what about HiBikes additions, how does 240+41=300?

 

[ozzybmx]

Bike24 does not charge oversize item fees. I see they have EX511's but unsure which ones you need.

29" x 32h looks out of stock.

 

[ozzybmx]

Does have XM481's in stock though.

DT Swiss XM 481 - 29" Disc MTB Rim - black

DT Swiss ▶ All mountain rim that combines a low weight with 30mm internal width. ▶ Model: black

@johnny

Life of Bikes in Pakenham VIC have 29" DT Swiss rims in 32hole.

I didn't check if they have 481 but they definitely had 511. Give them a try...

Too late, unfortunately, I’ve already paid HiBikes to go on their waiting list.

I have a Bike24 in Frankfurt since the 17th May and a BC from 2 days ago. Look at 3 week for in stock stuff.

Not sure how I achieved it but I bought the wrong size front hub.

100 instead of 110, can only assume that I wasn't paying attention when I clicked.

Bought from Wiggle, might write to them and see what's achievable, then, maybe Hope themselves.

Fuck it.

Just buy an adapter. It gives you more equal spoke tension as well.

Yep. Felix’s last bike ran one in rear. Not ideal, but even he couldn’t hurt it in 18 months of thrashing. You’ll forget it’s there, @johnny.
Spokes will work for either.
Or buy a 110. You’ll have no issue selling off the 100mm.

[EDIT] - I was wrong (thinking of spacer washers for some reason... ), refer below.

If you payed with PayPal you may be able to have the return shipping covered up to $40.

Front wheel will likely come off pretty regularly as the only car that has the carrier is also the only car that has the kid seat in it.

So annoyed at myself.

That doesn’t matter. Kit stays on the wheel. You won’t know it’s there.
Alternatively, I’ll take one for the team and swap you for some 8yo non boost pikes needing a service. I’ll wait…

Derp, yep - good call @moorey - the Boostinator kits replace the whole cap don't they? I was thinking of spacer washers for some reason.

Cap replacement adapters will be fine @johnny. ie:

Boostinator is only single-sided isn't it? So you also need to dish the rim across.

MRP replaces both endcaps to keep the hub centred: https://www.mtbdirect.com.au/mrp-better-boost-hub-converter

But that limits you max rotor size. You also loose the benefit of more centred rim.

Either will work and you’ll never know they’re there unless you’re schralping AF. If Felix had no issues….and he’s hard on wheels….I wouldn’t sweat it. I had to dish his rear a few mm, yeah. 5 min job.

IIRC, it's for a fresh build so yes, rim offset, but not starting with a pre-built wheel. As long as the spoke calcs it would be my preference. Bugger rotor spacers, not keen on them for the front wheel.

Also, not a fan of the orange anno of the MRP.

 

[pink poodle]

Well fuck it! @johnny you may as well throw this whole project in the bin and start fresh. I am sorry for your loss.

 

[johnny]

Fuck it, I've never built a bike from scratch with (almost) all new parts. If I don't get the right part it's going to bug me.

Selling this hub won't be a problem, finding the right one will be, though. But, it will just join a list of other parts that I can't get a hold of at the moment. So, I can wait.
