i only have this one since the bike is now dead, i only had the rear on at the time because i was using a drum front. it had front facing horizontal dropouts (which, you guessed it, are annoying as **** with fenders)

they did give great coverage though, i only wished for a long mubflap on the front one

and they are unbreakable, ill try and find the pic of what happened to that rear one

/edit:

this was also after i had to ted shred through the fender to stop on a steep downhill and my chain fell off as it was set up FG

folded it right back to normal shape and rolled on like nothing happened

Yikes. You got nerves of steel dude.

I'm looking for a solution that gives close to full coverage, and can accomodate track dropouts and Shimano 105 calipers. Looking at the lightweight stuff from SKS, Zefal and Crud. Ultimately a nicer, permanent setup like the Velo Orange hammered alloy noir.

Anyone know who makes this chainring that comes stock on a Kilo? Or equivalent? I like the unbranded, no cutout look of it.

44t, 144bcd. This one is 3/32 but I wouldn't mind 1/8.

This should work, cheap too >>> EighthInch Fixed Gear/Singlespeed Chainrings |EighthInch Courier Chainrings

Perfect! But out of stock... :(

sry i didnt see this a month ago, lol.

the only thing about having a full coverage fender and horizontal dropouts is the wheel can only really move downwards, so it can be a real pain in the ass to change a wheel. with that combo up there i had to mount the wheel deflated in the winter so there was enough room.

something about physics and expansion/contraction of materials, idunno. math is hard.

Cha-ching! thx dude

No prob man.

Funny - a couple weeks ago was the inaugural ride for the Mondial. There was a mud section and the braking surface on my black Archetypes turned silver in like half a minute.

Yeah this particular set of requirements is a puzzler. I found this nifty thing for mounting with QR skewers:

I'm thinking if there's enough flexibility in the rear fender, the mount will slide out with the axle while maintaining clearance. Maybe with a few mods those V-O fenders will work.

theyll definitely work together, youll probably just get frustrated/annoyed if you get a flat or change a wheel if the combo doesnt give you enough room to maneuver easily

but ya never know it could be the golden combo and be totally fine. unfortunately this is one of those things where you just gotta try it and see what happens

Right, it's about a $90 bet that I'm feeling sort of confident with. Probably will give it a shot.

Anyone ever use Exustar road shoes? Thoughts?

Can anyone recommend a cross lever with a hinged clamp? One that I can install and remove easily without messing with my bartape.

Normal road bars.

Too easy

Is it possible to mount rollers without some sort of side support eg. a doorway or a chair?
If it is possible, what's the technique?
I can't get up to speed without falling over.

Thanks!

I don't know, but mountain bikers know how to ride single file.

Ridge or lock out forks. Sorry but I posted this somewhere else as well.

Rigid. And it is just a fork, not forks, unless you are running multiple wheels up front?

Received.

Yes it is possible but does take a little bit of practice or maybe just a bit of technique.

I center the bike on the rollers then sit on the bike as though I was at a stop sign. Butt on the seat and the tip of my foot on the the frame of the rollers , pedal on the opposite side in the power position (one o'clock). I steady the bike by applying the brake.

The trick is to push off/start pedaling without upsetting the bike's balance too much (start with the bike as upright as possible). Then "get up to speed" as quickly as possible with out running off the front of the rollers. This part is crucial since the bike is much easier to balance (and recover from the upset of the start) once the front wheel has some speed. I also don't try to clip in the support foot until i am steady.

If possible practice in a hallway until you master the technique. Somehow the idea of being able to touch the walls to regain balance (even with you shoulders), gives you the confidence to explore the envelope a bit further, because you aren't afraid of falling. HTH

Thanks, that was a big help.

This question is about a road bike; I hope no one minds- the following bike is being advertised as having a threaded fork, but the stem setup very much looks threadless to me. What's up?

Threaded fork and headset with a quill to threadless stem adapter.
