Thanks so much for all the suggestions!
I watched the RJ the bikeguy video about this as well earlier.
The Hahanna squeeks alot less now after I:
Toe out the pads - didn't make a difference
Toe in the pads - didn't make a difference
Again cleaned both brake surfaces and pads with everbuild...
As I'm putting the finishing touches on a custom 1995 Kona Hahanna single speed city conversion I took her for a test ride last night and the sound of the brakes woke up the entire street.
I guess it might be the orange ("razorblade") brake pads?
The rim surface was clean (maybe too clean) and...
Is there any difference in terms of strength and quality between the two?
I just got a pair of XC117's and they were made in Romania as opposed to the usual, France.
Haven't tested em yet as I have yet to lace em around my Hope XC hubs
Hoping tro find a USE Alien 27.2mm aluminium seatpost that's 420mm long in black or blue (but I don't think they made these in blue) for a price I can afford...
Wanted:
Ambrosio CC22, 32 hole, blue (rim brake) - to match the one I just bought (or maybe someone has one and really needs this one)
Mavic XC717, 32 hole, BLACK (rim brake) - Preferably 2 of these, but 1 will make my Kilauea happy again too :)
I recently bought one on eBay, hoping to find another one and build a wheelset.
Are there any other retro anodised blue 26" rims anyone can recommend for mostly riding through London traffic?
Preferably 1 1/8" threadless with a 200mm steerer.
If anyone has any lying around that they'd like to sell, I would be happy to buy them.
I'm hoping to find them in the same colours as the pic below (grey with blue/yellow/silver decals)
If you prefer to trade I have can offer either:
a 19"...
