I have a really simple question and I'm sorry if it's already been answered. Are innertubes usually sold individually? They almost never clarify whether there's one or two in the box via online description.

Thanks deleterious

Painfully average.
Do I take any precautions when installing this FSA headset into the Kagero when using a make-shift headset press (oversized washers, bolt, and nut)??

Scrod,
After adding up the cost to get me rolling on a new 722 Heritage with fork and headset, I'm somewhere around $500-$600 with shipping(assuming your prices will be near the prices at coghouse). At that price, I could have a Kagero on one of those $599 specials.
The questions: How does the Kagero ride in comparison to the 722 and which one do you prefer to ride in general? Do you know if PC will be putting the Kagero back on sale for $599 again?

Lawl. Nevermind Dave. I watched a youtube video on installing integrated headsets. My question doesn't even make sense! Ignore.

My new frame was not chased/faced/reamed or otherwise "prepped" before my installation of parts. Only the headset was installed at my LBS, though I don't believe they faced the headtube since the receipt only listed install of headset as $20 and milling of fork as $25, and I am fairly sure facing the headtube would not be an inexpensive job. Have I messed up my frame?

Assuming you're talking about your Rush:
I won't answer the question but I will say that my soma came chased and faced. If you search the forums you'll see someone else said his frame came totally prepped as well.

My two bikes may have a lot of similar parts but are totally different. I like riding each one equally but my 722 is more for shorter rides and bombing around town and I typically use my Kagero for longer hauls.
There aren't many 2011 Kageros left so if you're going to jump on one, you'd better do it quick!

You already have a 722. Get something else and have two bikes which are different from each other.

Dear Scrod,
Pardon my french, but I truly am curious. Do you struggle with not strangling people who come onto the FG/SS forums and ask a question - then get snide and butthurt when they don't get treated with kid gloves? Like, do you hover over the "nuclear option" key with them? Oh how I do not envy your position.

Can a Formula front track hub be radial laced without popping the bearings?
