yeah, i'm thinkin that the drop bolts look like a guillotine for my tire. The Tektros that I had on th 27" rims still had another 1/2" to drop the calipers, so I figure/hope I should be OK.

I might give Sheldon's DIY fixed cup tool a try. On the other hand, since I've started ordering everything online for my fixie...I kinda feel like I haven't really been giving my LBS much bizness. They're great, and I kinda feel like a cheap bike-wh*****re buying everything online and then asking them to do the work for me...but then again I'd rather do the work myself and learn about my ride.
Wheels should be here in a couple days, followed by the crankset/BB, then the tires. Fingers crossed I'll have everything together by next week.
