Oh, interesting! I don't know why I couldn't find those before... Unless they are new or were out of stock or something. I'll consider it in a year or two when this drivetrain is worn out!

Soma Wolverine - my new fixed gear commuter build

Just finished (well two days ago) my new Soma Wolverine.

I'm very happy with it so far. I rode it home today in a downpour, and it was great!

Ontario to US border crossing

Does anyone know if there's a place where you can bike into the US? I really have no idea if its possible. Somewhere from southern Ontario into NY ideally.

Actually, I can just put back the tekro short reach brakes on my current bike (where my 6700 is currently) and see how it works. That should provide the same results.
