I found this sweet Raleigh at a Garage Sale in South Orange. They were asking $120, I only had $90.....$70 that I received from portering at a funeral and the Jackson that I had in my pocket. They accepted the Ninety.

Hope RS4 + Hydra & and the Raleigh Roker further thougths.

KI build up a set of H+ Son Hydra rims onto Hope RS4 centerlock hubs. They look sick, they work perfectly, the Hope hubs are a great balance between quiet and loud. They replaced the stock Raleigh Roker 105 build wheelset. I believe they are Wienmann Impulse rims on unbranded hubs. Here is the thing they aren’t blowing my mind. Between the Wheelset and tires I’ve taken my wheel weight down almost two pounds. That should be a stunning change in the way a bike behaves. When I took two lbs out of the wheels on my Focus Izalco it moved like a scalded cat! This isn’t the same.

The new set is faster - no doubt. The new set is better on mild inclines, for sure there are a few spots on my commute that I’ve noticed they roll easier, stay at speed easier, but not that stark difference. Part of me wonders if it is the spokes... I’m going to have to go back to Sugar Wheelworks and probe a bit more, maybe I’ll rebuild the stock hubs with the Hydra rims and see if building with CX-Ray spokes changes the feel. In theory the lighter gauge spokes in the current set should be pulling the same duty as the CX-Ray in terms of vertical compliance or that springy, lively feeling, but this set doesn’t have the same pop as the rim brake set build as HED Ardennes/Alchemy Hubs/CX-Ray set up. Maybe it has to do with the giant bracing angle of the Alchemy hubs + the surface area of the CX-Ray.

I don’t really know shit about wheel building or physics. I just know I expected this new set to completely change the way the bike rides.

It has been 4 months and I like the new wheels, I have ZERO complaints, everything works perfectly, they are a good light weight build for how durable they are - essentially build as a fast gravel wheel, they look fucking beautiful and the finish on the Hope hubs matches the Roker blue perfectly, the shape of the Hydra rims are amazing, the simple white typography is great. I love the wheels but I’m not blown away.

So the last bit of research I need to get after is riding the Roker with some skinny tires - ride the Roker in summer trim - sans fenders, skinny tires, full lightweight mode. I think the core of my issue may be with the Roker. The Roker is build to soak up chatter and to that end the bike MAY be doing that too much for my tastes. I’ve always had a feeling that the bottom bracket was numb. I received some validation on this after putting the FSA K-Force Light crank on both the Focus Izalco and the Raleigh Roker. On the Izalco the difference between the FSA crank and the very respectable SRAM Force crank was immediate, the FSA was lighter, spun up quicker, was smoother, quicker, and maybe it was just my perception but the FSA felt stiffer - which translated to a feeling of better power transfer. A feeling of connectedness, mash the pedals and the bike GOES!

I installed the same FSA K-Force Light crank on the Roker and did not experience that level of difference. In fact, the only way I noticed the stiffness of the new crank was under hard efforts I didn’t hear the chain rings rubbing on the front mech. There was none of that connectedness, no snappy feeling despite a significant weight savings, the new crank didn’t feel like it was quicker to spin up, smoother, just no rubbing.

That brings me back to the Roker frame. The back end and bottom bracket do an amazing job of soaking up chatter, in some ways too good a job. The catch 22 is once you put the Roker under power on gravel it is magical, just smooth, easy miles and you don’t get credit for how well it soaks it all up because you are riding rough shit faster than you normally would, you’re not picking a line you’re just in attack mode. The odd part is this is specifically through the bottom bracket back, the front of the bike transmits ample feedback, but that feedback doesn’t effect what is happening in the engine room.

BUT, that means on the road power transfer is vague and numb. Best I can tell it is still there, but you get no credit. My next test will be to run my Kelly Point Park loop on the Hutchison Sector 28 tire, I have tons of data on that route and tons of miles on that tire so I should be able to tease apart the wheels from the frame pretty easily at that point and the raw numbers should tell me how fast the Roker CAN be as a road bike - how close it can get to a quiver killer.
