I love them, center of bars to tip is 6 inches. They are a little longer than my chopped bars which is exactly what I wanted. Those are the 38cm flavor which for me is the perfect width.

Just an updated pic of my girlfriends Christmas build... bikeisland 50cm Kilo TT frameset -

jpdesjar

Tangerine Odyssey Twisted Polycarbonate. $17 fron Bens.

MysticRats

Looks like Twisted ODYs.
I got a pair of new all White ones with red circle for Sale or Trade (Send me a PM if interested)

Orange n white looks good, slighty matchy matchy tho
Maybe keep front tire black and use white lizard skins grips instead?

Don't know if the red goes with the gold and white but nice bike anyways. A lot of people going for the gold wheels recently.

hey, i finally got around to picking up a hacksaw to cut off the excess steer tube. Anybody have any tips as to how I should go about this? Never did this before, should I just saw away at it?

beethaniel

Are you kidding me? How is this comparable to clips/straps?

grymg

With a good tape measure mark where you want to cut the tube, then get a ziptie and ziptie the tube where you want to cut it. Use a marker in case the ziptie slips.

Then hack away using the ziptie as a guide.

try to use longer strokes, you get a more consistent cut as opposed to shorter ones

Then get some coarse grit sandpaper to smooth out the cut

im finally one of the cut. adjustability is decreased, but that frightening metal crotch basher is defeated.

beethaniel

A decent double-******* file is cheap and works well for finishing up the cut.

is your front wheel bigger than your back wheel?

Mr.Rorschach

the picture was taken at an angle, as you can see from where the wall meets the ground.

Thetank

that would be a new one. I think it looks like that way cause the front one is an aero rim and the rear is not.

adriano 

yes, both are 700s. pardon the cellular snapshot while the build is in progress.

just to let you guys know, it appears kilo tts can come with 3/32 chains unlike posted earlier where someone said it was 1/8 only. My 18T Surly 1/8 cog does not fit with the chain...let alone the surly cog looks thicker/beefier than the stock one. I guess i'll just drop 10 bucks for a new chain then.

Nietzsche

yea mine was 3/32"... ill eventually get new 1/8" cranks but they're fine for now...

twelsch42

TT pro= 1/8
TT = 3/32. If you have a gold chain (pro only chain) it is 1/8"
Some of you are really struggling with this.

Thetank

This should be a sticky or a pop up before someone decides to post cause its getting as annoying as the "What size should I get" question.

Stopped by Long Beach Fixed Gear today and picked up some Knog Beetle LEDs.
Super bright and I like the different light modes.

iansmash

well you'e going to want it to be straight


i would just take it to a small bike shop...they should do it for the price of the hacksaw that you bought (you should return the hacksaw)

Dezert Runner

Why dont you guys use pipe / tubing cutters?

tgscordv6

Pipe cutters flare out the end of the of the tube. I would recommend using a handsaw with a guide.

citybeats

my bike...everything's stock for now
