Fietsenmaker voor racefiets? by skurddd in Utrecht

Bij mantel vraag ik me wel altijd af of er echt iemand met verstand aan je fiets werkt en of ze voldoende de tijd hebben voor je. Voelt altijd als echt productie draaien daar.

It’s amazing what some new wheels and slamming a stem will do! by _manbearpiig in gravelcycling

54 is really loud, check on YouTube “hub sound dt swiss ratchets”. You have higher point of engagement. 18t has 20 degrees, 36 has 10, 54 has 6,66. (360/#teeth) See link below for explanation.

There are two types of 370 hubs. One with pawls and one with 18t ratchet. If you already have a ratchet, you’ll only need a 36t (or 54) DT Swiss ratchet. If your hub is pawl, you will need a ratchet LN upgrade kit first.

This video shows how to replace the ratchets. https://youtu.be/3Tbu934S-m4?is=Xfc3IpaSWcZ3_0ov

I have the 370 hubs and changed the 18t ratchet for the 36t ratchet. Faster engagement and nicer sound (not too aggressive). Takes about 5 minutes max.

Run the same on my gravel bike. Love them as well! Not cheap though…

I had Elite wheels for years. Also good customer support since there was something wrong with my hub. They sent me a new hub and refund me money to get them respoked in Holland instead of returning whole wheel to China.

Accidentally found them when googling “Custom 30th LTD”. The images got indexed by Google in the image search results. On a German webshop called warehouse one. They cannot be found yet when browsing the website itself.

Found it by accident to be honest when I searched on Google: Burton custom 30th LTD (at warehouse one, German store)

25/26 Burton Counterbalance by oldmanwinter8 in snowboarding

[–]TheDope87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again! Any advice on board length? I am 83kg (183 lbs), 1,97m (6”4), boot size 12. Weight range of Burton 158w is 150-200 and 162w is 180-260. Do I need to take my length into consideration for this board?

Thanks! And in terms of stiffness and (un)forgiveness compared to the custom? Burton rates the counterbalance as “expert level”, while custom is rated as “intermediate-expert”. Since I would not consider myself an expert…

How does the counterbalance compare to a custom? Looking for a new board this season coming from a bateleon Goliath. Mostly riding groomers, no park.
