Careful with the sanding. Double check the spacing from cog to cog, should be around 3.5mm I think, if any are much bigger focus your efforts there.

Just measured my other freewheel, and that's around 32.5mm thick, this one is around 36mm.....so, or just put the other on the bike or start sanding

Is this rim from me? WOW didn't get it

difficult to find the hie hubs? I got an originally xc-pro based but no hi-e hubs :roll: :cry: don't know what hubs to use as I have already campy rims....

Hi! Yes, I think this was yours!

Not that easy to find the right front hub, seen a few but with too many holes or a 28H but only in a smaller version....

But the search goes on

At last Arie!

How much does it weigh?

Re: 1992 Klein Adroit Backfire

Yip

It's a bit heavier than the Coda hub which temporarily replaced it...

It's around 130 grams, lacing it at the moment, hubs, nipples, spokes and rims are 630 grams, used to be 600....

so now, who got those Contax rims???

Total weight of the bike is now 8.87 KG.
