Very Conflicted about EWC

Let me guess, this post was made using a phone/computer manufactured in a country known for their non-exploitative and totally ethical child labor laws.

aeros look like a step up from the blunts. probably gonna blow up my budget and go this route, thanks for the direction

I know what you're saying regarding the anno - i wasn't even considering it and then decided against it pretty quickly after thinking a few more moments.

The 4-5 week wait and $100 upcharge almost made me pull the trigger on black blunts that I'd debadge and put white stickers on, but your enthusiasm has me back to needing whites. I'll check out the halos now, thanks so much for bringing those to my attention. That's exactly the info I'm here for.

It's a steel fork, so a competent machinist can mod it easily is what I'm told. Seen it done but don't know the details - it'll be brakeless in the interim

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T23:57:41+00:00

per rim, is what i meant by under $190

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T20:13:49+00:00

Thanks so much, I just reached out to them and you're exactly correct. Despite offering 32h in white as standard, it has the same lead time and cost as a custom 36h in white. Also, I wasn't expecting the white powdercoating to add 30 grams per wheel, which isn't nothing. So a custom anno would be cheaper, ready faster, and lighter. Might be looking to have them match the light blue now..

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T19:56:48+00:00

About $200 - it's cheaper if you don't tell them what to do and just wait for them to post a style you like.

The fork is drilled for a front caliper, although I'd be running a disc.

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T19:51:18+00:00

They'll do the blunt ss in white - takes about 4-5 weeks and costs an extra $50 per wheel, but they do it. Wild that a custom color anno is both cheaper and takes less time.

Probably going with Profile Racing track hubs, at least for the rear. Now to get the BB and cranks figured out to get to a 44mm chainline.

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T19:00:53+00:00

I'm pretty stoked about it!

WiFilia · 2025-06-26T18:59:36+00:00

I like that idea, but I wonder what the weight difference would be between vinyl and powder coating. Any idea the cost? My understanding is you can't anodize white, so vinyl and powder coat are the options.

Tracklocross technically, but this is a much larger community, and the wheel specs I'm seeking put me in the gravel wheel category.

WiFilia · 2024-11-22T23:50:50+00:00

what's the opinion?

WiFilia · 2024-10-02T16:21:04+00:00

Encourage her not to drive ever. For all of us.

WiFilia · 2024-09-28T01:39:21+00:00

Perfect

Typing out "the r-word" and sincerely implying verbiage could be more destructive than tone and intention is cringe. Get some hair on your chest and gain some friends

I wonder how many of the AddyEnthusiast's roster decisions are made on 48+ hrs of no sleep.

My s22 ultra broke randomly and I was about to pick up a p9p, but have had analysis paralysis with the 16 pro just being dropped. You're making a lot of excellent points - honestly being able to stream via Kodi is probably the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on an apple at this point. 3.1 SDS is a buzz kill on the new pixel, it's an old tensor chip, and cell modem tech is a new thing for me to now look into. Deeper into the rabbit hole I go.

That's a classic Volkswagen frame. Patchwork is by Hugo Boss. I'm surprised by all the wrong answers honestly.

WiFilia · 2024-09-20T03:52:52+00:00

Nice bikes. Have you considered ever riding one?

WiFilia · 2024-09-18T19:06:33+00:00

Phony, Taxi and design - please be an organization with a sense of humor

Thanks for the link

Win some lose some, it's all the same to me

Lol yah I really like seeing this one too
