I honestly don't feel very much difference in handling, I just built them up because of the stiff bearings in the cheap OEM hub and old prejudices against low spoke wheels. The HED Tomcat wheels will be used as back-ups…

You are correct on both points.
Thanks Dangle, that verifies much of what I was thinking. I have only used a single wrap of Scotch 8896 tape on a couple of wheelsets, with no problems yet. Do you think I'm at risk of blowing it out at a spoke hole?
I swapped my FSA crank out for a compact 105. I used a Shimano 6800 bottom bracket with standard English threading. I know the Diamondback website says the bike comes with a BB386, so I'd recommend taking yours apart…

Nope, they are standard English thread, 68mm by whatever.

I raced at the Encino velodrome in SoCal.. \n
I feel your pain bobknh, my hind paws are clad in size 14 shoes. I thought I got used to the problem while riding short wheelbase track bikes back in the 70's, but I certainly had a couple of low speed "oh shoot"…
Here are a couple of pics of my Haanjo Comp. I purchased it at REI last November for $1300 (minus $130 dividend). I immediately swapped out the saddle for a Terry Fly and the seatpost for carbon, the pedals were…
Depends on the tires. I have been able to mount (tubeless) WTB Nanos and Teravale Cannonballs, but try as I might, I couldn't get Kenda Happy Mediums or Vittoria Adventure Trails to work. They just didn't want to "snap…

Here's a picture of my build of the day. The FedEx truck arrived at 11:30 today and they are 98% done. Before I can really say they are "done" I will mount some tires on them and ride them for a couple hours; I will…

mikeyro, I also have a 2016 Haanjo Trail and I had a terrible time finding the "sweet spot" with the 5800 ft derailleur, but it can be done. The lever arm on the ft derailleur barely cleared 40mm tires; when my 40mm…
I finished the 200 on those same tires, and they both still held Colorado air at the finish. I made a last minute decision to go with the Cannonballs which I'd won in an event two weeks earlier. Comparing the pretty…
