Question: Has anyone had luck putting a 20T cog on? I tried but the chain isn't long enough. guess im off to buy a new chain....
Took it out for a long ride today, the handlebar/clip/tire lack of quality becomes extremely apparant around that 3rd or 4th mile, annoyed the hell out of me. I also noticed the rattling inside the headset others did.
Other than that, the geometry is x99 funner than my old IRO. The saddle isnt as bad as people said, at least for me, and the toe overlap took some getting used to but just taught me to lean more, something I should be doing anyways.
Overall, extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I just blacked out my frame decals using this black vinyl... it looks like it was painted blank. In fact when my mom saw my bike she says "why did you repaint your frame?" Ill take a pic in just a minute.. but here's the link to the ebay vendor I ordered from: https://cgi.ebay.com/1-ROLL-10-x-15-B...QQcmdZViewItem

How many people have swapped out their stock 3/32 cog and chainring for a proper fitting 1/8 set ?
I noticed that my chain made a strange noise and always seemed to have side-load on it from sitting more to one side on the chainring....
So I ditched the 3/32 parts for 1/8 parts and voila - no more noise and everything fits snug...

Has anyone found vinyl to cover up the decals on the green kilo? I'm thinking of getting either kelly green or green from the above vendor, but if someone already knows one that works I'll go with that.
