just got back from the wheel builders, bad news!

spot the problem! It's obvious by the way. will be nipping back to royce on monday to get them swapped over!

A 32 and a 36?

Or wheelbuilder said too much gold, blinded, cant build.

While you are there, i think you should get a matching set with the R filled in black, or both neither.

36/40 instead of 32/32!

doh!

i never even looked, just assumed cliff knew they were 32/32 which is what i said i needed, these as it turned out are tandem hubs

 

[jonnyboy666]

right! hubs sorted yesterday, at the wheels builders now so that's one thing sorted!

and here's Wu-Tangled's take on Royce Engineering

spoke to Tom a day or so ago, frame should be back from the finishers next week

Hope to get up to the NEC this year - now that I'm living closer. Surely the mix-up with the hubs was a perfect excuse for why you needed to build up a tandem.

 

[jonnyboy666]

got no-one to ride it with of the lady type anyway!

it did give me the excuse to buy some of Cliff's tools though, i have the hub greasing tool and the B/B tools now.

i also asked about a set of QR's, he's sold out at the moment but i've asked him to do some to match as he hasn't done any ti-nitrided QR's yet.

the frame is at the finishers at the moment, shouldn't be long!

 

[jonnyboy666]

bling wheels built and ready for when the frame arrives!

 

[jujupunk]

Wow very bling... why no gold spokes???

 

[jonnyboy666]

well regarding spokes i always prefer silver, i like the way they glint in the sun and can reflect on to the tarmac (if on road), also i used standard nipples, i was thinking of using alloy nipples in gold but decided against as all my stuff gets used and i'd rather have the strength in the wheels.

they do look super bling in the metal though!

ETA on the frame Jon?
