Awesome, thanks! Now I will have a bit to decide!

I just wish it was cool enough here for me to justify buying it. I love it

I will take a picture of how awesome I look the second it comes!

Any ETA on the nitto? :)

Or do we have an entire shipment of irradiated scrap tubing? :p

Or "nuclear powered bicycle bars". Think outside the box, square.

Hope the "Henchman" bags come back in stock before I end up buying something lame and not Scrodalicious.

They're coming. We were having some trouble with one of our main sewing machines but it's back from being repaired and production is back on track.

Are they the same as the last batch or did you make those tweaks you were talking about

My lips are sealed.

Hey Dave, a couple questions:

Are you ever going to start selling freewheels? Like Shimano?

Are you going to sell straps like your deluxe laminated ones, but single? Or can you get your four gate cages in size medium?

And are you going to sell those Odyssey Twisted pedals separately?

Hey Scrod got a question for ya how many links are on the KMC D101 Devil chain ?:)

We can get Shimano freewheels. I'll pick some up and list them on the site soon.

As of right now those deluxe straps only come in doubles but I'm working on getting some similar singles.

Because of what our wholesale price is on the Twisted pedals, we wouldn't really be able to sell them for what other retailers are charging. The pedals/straps package deal works but I'd rather not sell the pedals separately if we have to charge more than everyone else. Same thing with Omniums - I'd really like to start carrying them but BikeIsland already sells them for only a few bucks over what we'd pay for them wholesale (and everyone knows it). We're good sports about it though...whenever someone e-mails asking if we can get Omniums, we give them the link to BikeIsland.

112

great. ill be waiting on that freewheel!

How many teeth?

18t for the lady.19 would-be nice but I don't think shimano makes odd number teeth.

I can get 16, 17 & 18t. They'll be here Tuesday. :D

Nice!

Any word on those freewheels?

We've got them. I just need to find a few minutes to add them to the site.

edit: they're up.

oh damn I just had to buy a freewheel too. dammit this thread didn't light up with "new posts" for me!

any word on the henchmans?

edit: damn have you always had lizardskins too? I thought you only had grips. sorry!

I'm ordering later today. You wouldn't happen to have one spare cable end cap you could throw in would you?

For you Calv? Of course!

Thanks a lot, dude. I'm actually going to wait out a bit, but when I order I'm going to be ordering more than just a damn freewheel! ;)

Hey Scrod, any chance you'll carry Kinlin rims in the future?

I would really like to but finding a wholesale distributor (without having to purchase a bazillion of them) is proving to be a little tough. I have a couple of avenues to explore today though so fingers crossed!

edit: it looks like we may have found a distributor fro KinLins so I have a feeling some good things are about to happen. :D

Hey Scrod, I'll trade you some ebony plugs for a cog and lockring :P

just kidding of course. Im planning on picking up some later today after I order my kilo :thumb:

Good news: we've nailed down a distributor for KinLin rims - including the 38mm deep XR380 (available in July). Expect to see build kits on the site very soon!

I am anxiously awaiting pricing info!

any word on those henchmans? the full size backpack is killing me in this texas heat

Can I haz nitto barz? 2 months has passed since I first contacted you about rb-001's. Update?

I keep asking our distributor and they keep saying they don't know when to expect them. Bunk.

Hey Scrod,Im considering buying a Pake frame in Sid blue,can you confirm the for in blue is also Sid blue?

The frame and fork are the same color, yeah.

Cool thanks.

KinLin/Novatec build kits coming very soon!

All rims will be available (in build kits and separately) in black & silver. Kits will be available in all black, all silver and black rims/hubs with silver spokes & nipples.

All build kits will come complete with the appropriate length/number Wheelsmith DB14 2.0/1.7/2.0 spokes, Wheelsmith brass nipples and Velox cloth rim tape.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! :D

Would also be nice if we could get the Foer rims in a build kit,but Im good with Kinlins.

Low spoke counts! 20f/24r.

I can get the rims in low spoke counts but need to find a separate distributor for hubs - as most of the hubs I can get my hands on are 32 or 36h. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

We could do that.

May I please have a rough price estimate?

For the KinLins/Novatec kits? We need to figure out the math. There are slight price differences in the different rims but I'm aiming to keep all the kits under $250.

I'm gunning for 24 front/28 rear for xr-200s personally, if you can carry those. I can live with 32s though. :D

Awesome. I'm excited!

Is there such thing as a Kinlin with NMSW?

Unfortunately, no.

Ah, oh well. I may still be in for a rim or two. I'll have to see what my wallet says.

But yes, I'm glad my build kit idea wasn't dumb and I hope it sells well! They should make for killer wheels at a pretty competitive price.

i love you scrod. just what i wanted!

possibility of upgraded spokes + nipples for an additional cost, perhaps lower spoke counts as well? novatec makes some from here, im not sure if you'll be able to get em though:

I know the Novatec hubs are available in lower spoke counts but our distributor doesn't carry them. I'll be talking to them about stocking them tomorrow.

We will have the Kinlin rims available separately in 20, 24, 28 and 32h - in addition to the build kits - in the meantime.
