Nope, I wouldn't change anything from what you intend to do. Looks to me you are going to have a sick bike for 2008 and your choice of parts is looking great. Only thing is I'm a little pissed at you, for doing this because now I have no choice but to complete my 2008 build as I had mentioned. In short your gona cost me money.

Tony thats a great build! You finally chose Code's !

Wow man you and me gonna have some red Transitions rims!

Props! Can't wait 2008 season with you guys!

I'm also on the list for Transition wheels.

BTW, I'm going for the Transition Revolution 36 wheelset for the 36mm rims, not the 4 extra spokes. I prefer the wider rims.
I'm not 100% sure about the cassette. It'll either be an 11-21 or an 11-23 gear ratio, which is why I won't be getting a Sram PG-970 DH cassette which is only available in a 12-26 gear ratio. Too bad, it has sexy red spacers. I guess I have a "red parts" theme this year.

Wait a minute, I could get the PG-970 DH cassette and hopefully just install my current 11T cog on it. I wonder if that would work?
The 11T cog is for MSA's La Tordue run. I just can't get enough of hitting those blue jumps at 60+ km/h !!!!!

I have the same cassette except I took the orange spacers. I think it should be fine if they are the same wide.

good choice with the brakes! and other pieces

The frame look amazing, have you recived it yet?

Nope.
Believe me, you'll know when I pick it up. Just have the popcorn ready. I'll be the crazy nut running around in circles with a frame in his hands

It's not grey. You'll HAVE to wash it.

Great build .

Anything you would change ?

The wheels. Sorry, but I haven't seen enough review of the transition wheels to say I trust them. I would take 729. I count on you to do a full review on the forum for those wheels .

The 888. Heh, I don't like much the marzochi feeling, but that's personal.

Other then that, no.

Le Wheelset Transitions est je crois 450$. Mon build me coute environ un tout petit peut plus chere. Les 2 hoop Transitions sont 165$.

Local price for the Transition Revolution wheelset (both complete wheels) is $320 (+tax) @ ABC.
How much are the Hadley hubs?

I will review all the parts as I feel I've had enough time on them.

The wheels, hmmm.......Yaa, I know what you mean, but I've read some good reviews so far and I'm hoping they'll be good. For the money, they seem to be a pretty good choice at only $320 (+tax) for both complete wheels.
Most other "good" wheelsets are at least double the price, if not more. I could buy just the rear wheel of SunRingle's A.D.D. wheelset for the same price as both of the Transition's.
I'd never buy EX729 rims. They are fairly expensive and dent very easily. Danick's rims have HUGE dents. Dominic's are also pretty bad. Everyone says they're strong rims, but from what I've seen, they're not strong at all.
All rims dent, so why spend a lot of money on them. Just get cheaper ones and replace them more often if you really have to have straight wheels.

The only wheels I'd consider spending a lot of money on, are the Tag Wheels FRX5. ( http://www.tagwheels.com/ ) NO MORE SPOKES AT ALL !! And they use DT Swiss FR440 freeride hubs.

Yup, $320 (+tax) total, for both complete wheels. Both wheels cost about the same as your hub alone. Sorry....

Thom Thom, its an Hadley man! I won't run a Formula. I don't have the option to not have an Ti cassette Body. I would take it if I could.

J'ai deja commandé mes hoop. 32 en avant et 36 en arriere donc le hub Hadley est la seul option sinon un Ringlé est 50$ de moins.

We'll take about that in my topic if you want because this is Tony's topic about his bike !

Sorry for the treadjack!

But Tony its a really really good price for a set of wheel!
