Street Hoops for my Hydra

[Cuz Vinny]

Going to build a set of street wheels for my Hydra as there is simply no way I can justify spending another 6 - 7k on another bike at this time. I’ll use the bike for both street and trail riding. I’m using the same wheels that came on the bike, Duroc 40 to keep things simple and costs down. Of course I need the Hope Floating Rotors in orange to match what’s currently on the bike and the tires are Schwalbe Super Moto’s in 27.5 X 2.4. These are Ebike rated for speeds up to 35 mph, very durable and low rolling resistance. The cassette will be the same that’s on the bike now, Shimano XT 10 speed which will hopefully keep any adjustments to a minimum. Total cost is $850.00.

Since all the parts are basically what’s currently on the bike now swapping wheels should be pretty easy with minimal adjustments needed.

Should be, at least I’m hoping it will be.

I like it

Cuz Vinny it look like the tires WW use for the race track to set world record mile ride on an e bike. Are you making Race Track version orange crush? Or your roads are built like a race track.
Surface roads here will destroy tyres at a fast rate.

It’s actually a very durable tire made specifically for Ebikes.

A REAL EYE-CATCHER FOR YOUR E-BIKE! With its dynamic profile, this design-oriented tire is strongly reminiscent of the look that has proven itself in motorsport for a long time. Equipped with the ADDIX compound, the Super Moto impresses with excellent ro…

I can't believe all the orange you're able to pull together.

But wait there’s more!

I have a set of orange Hope Tech Ebike crank arms ordered, orange 44T front chain ring, and I found some orange valve stem caps.

After this I’m done, I swear!

You've gotta take really good photos when done. This is bike art (porn) worthy.

Huh, that's interesting.

Great to have lots of wide open to ride in. And in "Paradise" no less.

New wheels looks sweet Vinny, would be interesting to see what kind of range improvements you get with the upgrade.

I think you need orange spokes.
