Damn, that's some nice looking tape!

Scrod - what say you about the Eighth Inch crankset that you currently have on sale? About on par with the stock cranks found on BD bikes, or a bit better?

I've never used it. It looks to be the same overall as the 130bcd Eighth Inch crank, which Angie has used and I've always thought is good for the price.

I used the 1/8" 130BCD crank and it's a lot nicer aesthetically and it was a hair rounder than the OEM crank that came on my BD bike. That said I eventually traded them for a WI freewheel when I switched to a set of Cooks RSR's I dug out my of the parts bin

Thanks for the info, guys. The price sure seems right!

scrod, just placed an order and left you a note about the dimension risers and chainring bolts we talked about

realized after i hit pay i probably shouldve had you send me the invoice first, not sure if this would create a problem

let me know if i screwed up

scrod, i am looking at the deluxe Andel and BB crankset http://www.retro-gression.com/product/andel-deluxe-track-crankset-w-bb

Can I assume this combo gives a 42mm chainline?

Thanks!

I've never actually measured but the bikes I've put them on have had straight chainlines.

scrod, thanks.

I realize the Deluxe set comes with a 48t chainring. I'm now looking at the 46t standard crankset with http://www.retro-gression.com/product/andel-track-crankset. I have a question about the silver color. Does it come with a grey chainring? I can't quite make it out on the site.

No, it's all silver. The entire crankset is available in grey though.

Yo scrod, not to pester you, but everything got shipped, right?

haven't got a #.

I could have sworn your stuff already went out but here it is, sitting here in the corner of the shop doing this:

Thanks. I'll probably end up with silver. I wanted to combine orders with the V2/Twisted Pedals combo http://www.retro-gression.com/product/v2-straps-odyssey-twisted-pedals. When are you getting these back in stock?

Probably not for a few weeks. The batch we just made sold out much quicker than we had anticipated.

Just got my tools in wonderful stuff thank you!

Also had a little surprise waiting for me too:

is it weird that im more excited to see what kind of animal i get in my box than all the shiny bike parts? lol

It was a total surprise to me. It's a nice personal touch tho.

I super glued my duck to my work bench lol

you are not the only one, the last animal Scrod sent me my cat got a hold of and stahed away so this time when I got the crab I safety wired it to my stem before I put the parts on my bike

My good man, do you think my stuff would go out before sunday?
I never seem to get the tracking numbers from your mailman

What did you order? We don't have a Saturday mail pickup so if it didn't go out Friday, it will go out Monday morning.

I was the guy that added the dimension risers and chainring bolts to a bunch of other crap
rhm 02s, deda stem, mash tape, etc.
ordered thurs

It will be in the mail Monday.

Very well then, thank you sir

How much did your 31.8 risers cost?

OH snaps. I didn't know that the price stilled showed when you click the link. shiiiiii


I need thems.. :/

Scrod, I might be having a change of heart on the TRP RRL levers black hoods with silver levers, think you would be able to track down a pair and give me an estimated price? That is of unless of course some Sram levers pop up.

Yeah, I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

Can you help me order a 17t EAI 3/32 cog?
Once I sell my bike, I'm going to buy rims and bars from you. hoping I can pick up a cog as well

You don't need much help. They'll be here this week.

Sweet thanx

You don't need much help. They'll be here this week.

and the bags?

Seagull bags will be here today and up on the site as soon as Angie can take pics.

Hey Scrod, could you get your hands on an Open Pro 28h rim? In need of one for a rebuild, I rather send my money your way.

Black, silver or ceramic?

Drop me an e-mail through the site so I don't forget. I'll see what pricing is and get back to you.

Can't find silver RPLs!

TRP does make these 'retro' levers in silver though, which seem to have the same overall shape and look pretty cool:

Black.
Thanks!

Senor Scrod, I'm looking for a good punture resistant tire and was wondering what you could recommend from RG. My bike came with Maxxis Detonators and the smallest sticker is going thru and giving me flats. And this is with daily riding on a nice smooth bike path. Figured I'd save money with good tires versus buying tubes over n over. Oh, looking for something in a 700 x 25c. Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of good tires you can choose from. Pasela TG, T-Serv and Ribmo are all excellent tires that still have good rolling resistance and are pretty much bombproof - without weighing a ton.

They do look pretty cool, I just don't think I want to drop that much dough on a set of brake levers... assuming those are the TRP RRL SR yes? Also, I think I'm hell bent on black hoods, I can't get over the gum/grey combo... WHY AM I SO PICKY?

Are there any pedals you know of that WON'T work with DZRs? I seem to recall there being some issue with those SPD/platform hybrids.

I know Shimano A520, A530 and A600 won't work. I've been meaning to see if I can get a list of pedals that are compatible from DZR.

Scrod, does the eigthinch crank use a 68x107 or 68x110 bottom bracket? They make both of em but dont say specifically which one to use

The box says 107, EighthInch says 110 ISO. I have no idea which is correct at this point and once the one set we have left is gone, we won't be carrying them anymore.

Yo scrod, did my package go out? All the tracking service says is "electronic information recieved" as of 9/8.

I'm assuming it missed a scanner at the post office or something.

It went out the day you received the tracking info.
