I just realized the reason I have been riding so slow is that all my rear hubs had tightened up and the bearings were really grinding. I bought some cone wrenches and readjusted them and now they're great. I forgot how good the surly new hubs are, they just spin and spin and spin, and then spin some more. I kind of want another one to change my front hub from the QR shimano 105 on it now. I ordered a set of sugino 75 track cranks that should pretty much finish off that bike for good (hah).

hey cavernmech, thanks alot! I may have to take you up on your offer, but I'll try to see if they can find the originals at urbane one more time. they apparently have them, its just the guy that was working on my bike is the only one who knows where they are, and he is never there when I go by the store.... I would get annoyed, but luckily I have alot of time to waste.
