Interesting. The Novatec rear I had was not silent. I think there's a lot of variability in their different models On Mon, Dec 2, 2024, 10:38 AM Kim H. wrote: > @Cormac > > "I've always preferred silent hub" > > The rear Novatech stock cartridge bearing hub on my Clem runs silent. I > love run

For reference, I reduced the weight of my Platypus Complete by 5.75lbs. I stripped the parts entirely for another frame, which was the plan from the get go. The list below shows the weight difference of parts. It is mostly complete, but missing brakes and some other accessories, because I ultim

@Will Did you have it serviced regularly ? or did you service yourself in re-greasing the cartridge bearing hub ? I recently had my rear hub serviced in re-greasing it with Dumonde Tech Freehub Bicycle Bike Grease Lube of which I personally bought from a member's recommendation. My rear hub wa

"The sum total of all of the above is sitting at 9025g. The numbers will change a little when I get the actual frame set in my hands, and figure out places for lighter fasteners." And indeed a few grams have dropped: My seatpost and chainring were on my porch when I got home from visiting my

[RBW] Re: The way I design a build, and the first chapter

I don't follow the math. The rear wheel math makes sense to me: Heavy old rear wheel weight - Lighter new rear wheel weight = rear wheel weight savings 2252g - 1582g =670g = 23.634 oz (checks out) Heavy old front wheel weight - Lighter new front wheel weight = front wheel weight savings 1942g

[RBW] Re: The way I design a build, and the first chapter

Looks like 1188g of savings is the SUM of both wheels reduction. 670g + 518g = 1,188g Now it makes sense. Did you double-count the front wheel savings in your total though? Maybe it doesn't matter anymore. :) BL in EC On Monday, December 2, 2024 at 2:44:17 PM UTC-8 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I

Whoops! Good catch. From what's identified on that list, the correct total is 1938g / 4.27lbs. I feel silly after all that weighing and I didn't weigh the complete bike stock. Oh well! The 2.5lb+ drop in wheel weight also includes the exceptionally light, extralight rene herse casing, and ligh

Re: [RBW] Re: The way I design a build, and the first chapter

Sure, feels a bit snappier off the line and surprisingly fast for an upright bike (nice tires with light wheels mostly help here). If you get really active with the bike, go for a spirited sprint, or chuck it in some turns at an aggressive speed, the weight shift does feel more noticeable. It's
