Suitable for a number of uses, originally designed to convert a top pull frame into a bottom pull, it can also be used as a lower mudguard mounting point for frames without a chainstay bridge, as well as adapting a cyclo cross frame to be able to take two water bottles.
Top assembly for carbon steerers which replaces traditional top cap and star nut assemblies.
Features include a highly durable cover, anti-slip side panels and a reinforced shell.
Speed Wing, the innovative outer plate, ensures particularly rapid and silent shifting on Connex 11-speed chains. The newly developed peripheral chamfering of the outer plate ensures optimum chain guide and gear-changing performance. And for optimal absorption of the high shear forces through extreme transmission, Connex have implemented a completely innovative process for radial riveting. This process, in combination with a special pin coating, guarantees top performance and long wear.
These custom, Swiss made bearings are double sealed, fully serviceable and removable which give much greater life span than stock units. The bearings are made (as all Hope bearings are) by INA and have been designed to run directly on the crankset axle, without the use of shims or spacers -again increasing life and reliability. Hope use a non contact, free running labyrinth seal to protect the bearing externally, and the machined aluminium centre tube is sealed internally with o-rings. The unit is suitable for 73mm and 83mm shell width's.
It also works great when cutting handlebars or other round tubes from 22mm to 33mm. Simply clamp the SG-6 onto the tube and cut, letting the SG-6 guide the hacksaw blade. The SG-6’s non scratching composite body incorporates steel threads and a steel reinforcing plate to withstand the rigors of heavy shop use.
The seamless structure and the specific heat treatment used at the end of the work cycle, guarantee great reliability and resistance to flexure.
It offers high levels of torional stiffness and features lightweight AL 7075 T6 reinforced chainrings that feature the Total Treatment hardening process.
Available in a choice of either anodised silver or black, they are excellent value & a good choice for audax and winter bike builds.
The protection offered against penetration and pinch flats is 300% better than standard tyres. Panaracer's new Mile Cruncher rubber compound ensures long life durability, fantastic grip and great ride comfort. The All Contact tread shape optimises tyre performance by minimising rolling resistance and maximising cornering contact with the road.
Furthermore the extremely solid crankarms are made of forged 7075 aluminium with a brush-polished and anodized finish. The Miche Team CPT has a 5-arm spider with 110mm BCD and uses the axle profile which is compatible with JIS squared bottom bracket (with a 68mm case width and with an axle length of 107mm).
Popular amongst both performance orientated riders and those just looking for something a little different.
