Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Leader Love!

The cold isn't what gets you, it's the 25s on packed snow. I was going downhill and held a skid for a good thirty feet without losing any speed. Luckily I fully finished my MTB this weekend so I can take that in on the next icy day.

New I805TR 28 rake uses the same 3K carbon blades, 3K carbon drop out ends as the I806TR fork. I805TR fork comes with a 7075 alluminum steer tube. It is lighter and far superior to the I06TR fork and less expensive. Previous I06TR fork came in 30 rake.

What is the difference in weight between the I805TR and I806TR forks with uncut steerer tubes ?

Everywhere I've read says that the I06TR has a 28mm rake too though.

I'll like to buy a complete leader bike, but we don't have a dealer out here in New Orleans. Someone can point me to a good reliable website where I can order my bike?

Do they have any other websites beside retrogression? They don't have many sizes or colors to chose from.

RG is unpacking right now from a recent cross country move, so their stock is probably low. They can usually special order anything you want at no extra charge tho.

Why don't you contact RG directly and ask them. I'm sure they can get you anything that Leader offers.

I'm definitely not reading through 94 pages of this forum, as I'm not fond of internet forums anyway. would anyone be able to help me out with crank sizing on the 735? I'm planning on ordering an sram omnium, unless anyone else has a suggestion (please feel free to let me know of something better/cheaper!) also wanna get a whole new bottom bracket because mine came off my old fyxation and is ****.

crank size has everything to do with the size of your legs / bottom bracket, and nothing to do with the frame

What he said, unless you mean the threading of the bb which is 68mm English threaded.

Also, sram omnomnoms come with a gxp bb.

I don't know exactly what you mean by fake but: They are Sugino Pistas, are they a rip off of someone elses design?
