Wheel pics
I’ve been waiting for the perfect setting and lighting to shoot some pics of the new wheels.
It just ain’t happenin’.
So for now, I’m settling for these. You’ll have to settle for them as well.
Click ’em for something a bit larger.
Shimano Alfine dynamo hub, in black, on the front. You’ll see the wires and connection on the right fork leg.
Complete front wheel with Velocity VXC disc-brake-specific hoop in Spangled Silver, the CenterLock version of Avid’s G3 rotor, all held together with 32 DT Competition spokes laced three-cross. Shown with my three-season road tires, Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase in 28mm.
As I see it from the bed when I wake up. Here the Portland is wearing its cyclocross tires, Bontranger Jones CXR.
Velocity road disk rear hub in black. The brake caliper was recently replaced by Avid under warranty. The new one has that hole in the top which I’m hoping will help me flush out the salt come winter. We’ll see.
Completed rear wheel with Velocity VXC hoop, the ISO six-bolt version of Avid’s G3 rotor, spoked and laced same as the front. Shown with the Arkel Tailrider trunk bag and Nashbar Daytrekker panniers.
Headlights. My two DiNotte 200L-AA-S on the bars with their battery packs hanging on the stem, and the new Schmidt Edelux on the fork crown. The other widget with the wingnut on the bars is my camera mount.
Taillights. The distinctive twin reflectors and center LED of the Busch & Müller D’toplight XS Plus mounted to the rack’s taillight mount, and the DiNotte 140R-AA-R mounted between the rack leg and fender. My Arkel Tailrider trunk bag rides on top and the Nashbar Daytrekker panniers hang on the sides.
