First ride on the Hulk Bike carbon wheelset today. I paid 380 shipped on EBay. 27mm internal width. I was concerned with the powerway hubs. But everything worked flawlessly.  Hoping these hold up for awhile?

I have heard that some people have issues getting a hope cassette to work with shimano derailleurs. It all depends on your front chainring.  I have an absolute black oval which corrects the chainline to 51mm. I also believe one up components makes a narrow wide that corrects the chainline also. Make sure your chain is as tight as you can get it and b screw adjustment is very critical.

Thanks, I'll check the chain line, and probably remove two links from the chain

What are those rotors?

Bradshaw560

They are Alligator windcutter gold rotors. They work well. Not as light as Ashima. Totally accomplished the look I was going for though.

Some more recent pics. Fixed these xx1 cranks with a pedal thread insert. My buddy stripped out a pedal and thought they were junk. Spent 30 bucks on a tap and 20 on the unior insert. Would of been 10 bucks but I broke the first one. After that I sanded down the red and gray graphics. Waiting on some custom made orange decals for them now. 20.4 complete with pedals.

How do you go about that? I'm considering to strip my S2200 too.
