They were designed for more track racing than street riding.

Not sure of the changes/ improvements because I do not care enough for the new 735 to go and research it because of the lack of last year's track ends. THE LEADER TR735 IS SO OVER!!!!!

Leukybear 06-11-11 03:39 PM

Hmm it's different from the previous generation then, more durable I guess.... well now you know that I didn't research it ahaha.

Give me a hint: will it be available on your site?

Hub/Skewer help
 
I need help finding a good axle/skewer and spacer combo to fit this:

on my i806TR. Help? It's supposedly an American Classic hub, and I've had 0 luck finding anything that looks like it could be what I need.

Squirrelli 06-14-11 01:06 PM

Hmm, doesn't this method of radial lacing weakens the spokes as they go in the hub?

Nevermind....http://spokeanwheel.110mb.com/lacingrl.htm

Back to answering your question, you should email or call American Classic for spacers.

Please tell me that the distributor finally came through. :cry:

Scrodzilla 06-15-11 11:00 AM

I grabbed those Noodles off the shelf but supposedly the RB-002s will be here in early July!

needs more lens flare

Scrodzilla 06-15-11 12:58 PM

I know...bad pic. I took it in bright sunlight using a "toy camera"-type app on my phone.

I like the look of welds... especially if they're well done

On which bike?

CarbonCopiez 06-15-11 03:22 PM

What bottom bracket size and crankset would go good with the 725tr Leader frame?...

Scrodzilla 06-15-11 03:38 PM

The BB spindle length depends on the crankset being used, not the frame.

Are we talking about older versions of the 725 or the 2011 model? Not all cranksets are compatible with some older versions and if you have a V2, cranks like Omniums, Sram S300s and Sugino 75s may not clear the chainstay.

CarbonCopiez 06-15-11 06:10 PM

It's the 725 tr v2 2010(51cm)...

Sweet baby Jesus.

So, it's a Mash that's not made with Columbus tubing? I hope it's cheap.

Scrodzilla 06-16-11 08:17 AM

The tubeset is different but it's made of 7005-T6 aluminum, which is what the MASH is made of.

hamish5178 06-16-11 08:22 AM

I said Columbus, not 7005. How much will it cost?

Scrodzilla 06-16-11 08:23 AM

And I edited my post. No idea.

cc700 06-16-11 08:28 AM

it's gotta be less than a cinelli. i'm going to dub this the mash killer.

Scrodzilla 06-16-11 08:33 AM

It looks nice but I wouldn't be caught riding that thing. I mean...it's not even Columbus! :lol:
