yeah! - how's that arm today?

But those suzue hubs are nice - their aluminium ones look nicer IMO, very well finished, but I guess the carbon ones must save a fair amount of weight. I wonder how those carbon flanges stand up to spoke stress?

Suzue went out of business last December so now might be a good time to pick some up.

i don't think they have a braking surface at all.. i have a pair in silver which look similar, and there isn't any.

Haha, thats the most expensive piece of wood I've ever seen. Click on the pic. He's selling hundreds, I was thinking of winning them all and re-building Manchester velodrome in the back garden.

I have a knackered Conti tubular that was used on the legendary Manchester track, It comes with a 'certificate of authenticity' that I made on MS word. £80???
Anyone?

is the picture dodgy or does this look like there is no way to tighten this stem around the bars ?

It has an internal wedge which tightens onto the bars fromthe back (ie frame side of the bars). looks nice but concentrates the force on a small part of the bars.

when you tighten the stem into the frame it tightens round the bars at the same time. well flash!!

Mmmm, Shimano AX stuff is nice. I polished the $hit out of one of those AX stems, it looks so bling. If you get dazzled, loose control and die, that was my AX stem what did it.

Problem is the polish fades and you have to maintain them to keep 'em looking like that.
It's ok if you have the time and like rubbing your bike but if you're a lazy fecker I'd suggest not polishing components.
The wheels on my car were polished.. looked great.. for a few months.

Once its polished, I use car wax on it, makes it last a little longer, it also helps if you stop your mates fingering it.
