Time to replace the crown that has a had hole drilled through it :roll:
Replacement crown sourced, along with a pair of freshly serviced, useable RC35s with Magura mounts
Is the general consensus that an RC100 should have a black crown? I feel it should, as the current one is quite a glossy black, in which case I shall have to send it off for anodising.
Looking good!
Grey was available too Pete.
I had the crown on mine anodised in Gunmetal. It's a pretty good match to the paint colour. The 1st attempt looked more like 'Hope Gunsmoke' so I stripped it and had it redone. There's pics in the build thread in my signature.
I also have the RC35's if I choose to swap out the rigids. To make the swap less hassle, I also have a crown on my RC35 legs. This one came from Steve Worland and is anodised black. That crown probably has a bit of providence on it's own.
Did you get the rear wheel trued? .... as pete_mcc mentioned, the Dishless rear wheel is another one of those quirky RC100 traits. Think the Bradbury Manitou does the same too?
Here's pics of a Grey/Gunmetal crown.
Cheers.
