Unsure if I have the ones you need. I think Surly use a 6901 which I have but to be sure check the code on the bearing itself.

From Surly site :

7901 bearing (full compliment, adjustable cartridge), 12.0mm i.d., 24.0mm o.d., 6.0mm thick

I am not sure what the difference is but a 6901 has the exact same dimensions as what you posted above. I have EnduroMax for $8 a piece.

Safety meeting tonight? iherald = bored

I just got my PBK order, and for the first time had to pay duty! It was only $9, and since I got in on the free shipping it's not a huge deal, but still sucks.

We have been heading down to Polson the last few weeks to hang and have a few pints by the water. Entertainment thus far has been Wes aka "Bumpy Knuckles" crashing into the parking barrier....sailing classes cutting off and almost crashing into party boats and Go-kart racing. Good times!

I'll rip it & upload it for you... or maybe burn it for you if you're going to Disco Inferno tomorrow?

The Draft were awesome at that show! If you haven't heard the Digital EP yet, definitely grab it off iTunes or download it from wherever... you won't be disappointed.

Anyo As of now I am the only one representing Toronto. Everyone else who said they were going has either backed out or registered with another city. If I have to the do the job alone I'm up to the task. I can't wait! :D

Questions for the artistic among you:

I'm putting some vinyl lettering on my single speed I'm building up.

1) I'm thinking of putting my 'team' name on the bike. But I'm not sure what team I should join. Options: a) Team Cripple b) Team One Leg or c) Cripple Bikes

Thoughts?

Team Uniped?

Op, I just took at look and it says $50 ...

It's a trap!

Just came across this on velonews, rolling resistance of various tires. Obviously not an exhaustive list.

http://image.bayimg.com/maepmaabd.jpg

Michelin PR2, ftw. http://www.velonews.com/tech/report/articles/12493.0.html

Rolling performance is 29w @ 110psi for the PR2 vs the hutchinson at the bottom of the list at 48w @ 110psi.

Roughly, the average rider power requirements on a course with a zero net elevation gain is broken down into 60% rider drag, 8% wheel drag, 8% frame drag, 12% rolling resistance .5% wheel inertia forces and 8% bike/rider inertia.

In summary, wheels account for almost 10% of the total power required to race your bike and the dominant factor in wheel performance is aerodynamics. Wheel mass is a second order effect (nearly 10 times less significant) and wheel inertia is a third order effect (nearly 100 times less significant).

No *****! What a great ride for him today. Vino also looked pretty impressive. The next few days in the mtns will be awesome. Maybe Leipheimer will actually do something instead of being nearly invisible. While I picked Vino to win at the start I will be cheering Contador on. What happened to Valverde? Maybe he had a little chicken bone in his breakie? Choke!!
