This is my new favorite thread lol. My hub cone/spacer snapped, can I ride without it for a few days until it's replaced or is that a no no? Also does anyone know where I can order a new one from for a rear hub? This effing blows. http://i62.tinypic.com/2a4pcna.jpg

Go to a bike shop and stop over-tigtening your axle nuts.

Has anyone used one of these updated Timbuk2 bags? I have a small one from about 3 years ago. The strap sucks but it looks like they fixed it. Thinking about getting a medium just to try it out again., to have a cheap bag when I don't need my large R.e. Load. It seems pretty decent for $75 for a medium.

If I was to buy an older used road bike ( ~ +/- 100 on Craigslist), how much would decent/affordable parts cost me to make it into a decent single speed, and what parts are mostly suggested to change out if you buy a bike like this?
Where do you guys mostly recommend bying parts from? I just want to have a clean bike with one gear (not fixed), pursuit handlebars, little front and back brake, and seat. Aka clean and nice setup. Appreciate all answers! |

Appreciate all answers! Of course, there are other sites as well. Nor do you have to do it all in one hit, my Europa went from basic fg conversion to full, rather nice conversion over three years with parts bought as I could afford them. I think the trick is to buy a bike that doesn't need much to start with ie, a decent quality donor bike, and convert from there. |

I have a box of them.

I put a cinelli 1a stem on my pista (set up for threaded) and tightened it down all the way. But when I stand in front of the bike with my legs trapping the wheel and twist the bars the stem slips left or right. It takes a lot of pressure, but that still worries me. What could be causing this?
|
Putting a 1 1/8" threadless stem on a 1" threaded steerer is amazingly jackass.
Good job! |

Looks like it's a Cinelli XE, not a 1a. My fault on misidentifying that. That should be a 1" threaded, right? It sure looks like one.
|
For whatever reason I read that as you putting a Cinelli Pista stem on your 1" threaded fork so I apologize for the "jackass" accusation. :lol:
Now that it's been cleared up (and I learned to read), I'm thinking you either have too much grease inside the steerer or you're just not tightening the bolt enough. |
I may pick up a prologo zero ll pas off eBay new for 60. Its a flat saddle like the specialized toupe expert I had which I liked. Just looking for general input on their saddles

Will a Shimano 20 tooth freewheel require a longer chain on a kilo TT (stripper)? Don't have the bike yet but want to pick up a freewheel to be ready and found a good deal.

What is a good chain ring for a Sugino 75 crankset that will be both used in urban fixed settings and weekend shingle shpeed cross fun (or maybe some fixed cross fun) I wanted to go with Sugino Zen but a co-worker suggested it won't be quite so good for my cross plans and shedding teh mudz. I guess I could switch chainrings out when I go off-road but that ain't very practical. What should I do?
