congrats!

Nice. My mom's man said he might be able to hook me up with a new job. More money and I don't have to waste any on gas.

nisssseeeeee.

Today I got my VeloSolo chain ring and it found that doesn't fit with the Kagero's chain stay and the S300 crankset. :(

oops...

Today I got in a solid 35 miles, then toyed around with the DMR.

Wrong BCD? Too much dinner plate?

Correct BCD. It's just pressed up against the chain stay, can't even turn it. I'm really not sure why there's so little clearance.

Does the velosolo ring have more teeth than your previous one? That's what I meant by "too much dinner plate" since the diameter will be bigger and end up being closer to the chainstay

****. Now that you guys are bringing up chainstay issues, I'm starting to get paranoid about putting a 48t DA ring on my bike and if it will fit.

Nope. Went from a 48T 3/32" ring that came with my cranks to the 1/8" 48T VeloSolo ring, but it's significantly thicker in every way and simply doesn't work.

Found out prom tickets are 150. Damnit relationship, y u so expensive

This sounds really weird. I've see full Omniums on Kageros and everything is thick as can be on those

Yep. It was perplexing to me too; I just sat there trying to make it work for like 30 minutes before I resigned to the fact that it just doesn't.

This is a photo of the 3/32" chainring that comes with the S300's; as you can see there is very little clearance, and installing the VS ring just put it right up on it to where I can't turn the cranks without forcing it.

I'm open to ideas if someone has any, I'd love to use this chainring.

Might be a dumb question, but is your chainstay bent? that seems odd.

I'd shoot scrod a question.

Already chatted with him about it, just seems that the parts are incompatible. I have no reason to think the chainstay is bent, I baby this bike and haven't noticed any issues centering the wheel, etc.

Yeah, I figured...

welp, that sucks.

Get a different BB? Maybe try chainring bolt washers? Maybe even spacers for that velosolo if it's rubbing. May need longer CR bolts.

Today I put on my Wabi wheel set. I took my old wheel set and serviced/re-packed the hubs for the first time. Maybe one day soon I'll actually get to ride.

That's a good idea. A BB with a longer spindle would let it clear.

Dam hot link protection. I tried to post a picture of hickety hirl.

It can be tough unless you have a really good shop to hit up and fit the right BB. It's hard to guess how different spindle length is gonna change your chainline, even with same make/model BB sometimes when your ordering online, for instance.

Ideally the difference would be half of spindle length increase, but not always.

I don't know anything about spindles/drivetrains, but would it be possible to swap out to a longer rear axle, run a spacer and then run a longer spindle to get clearance?

Just spitballin'.

those gxp s300's should have supplied spacer rings that go inbetween the cups and the bb shell. throw those on(or get some more) and it will move your chainline out but the millimeter or three of clearance you gain will be worth any slight(read: barely perceptible) chainline issue it causes.

same deal with my ftp. spacers work wonders, its IMO one of the best advantages of the external bb design.

Would the change in chainline be noticeable when riding? Noise?

Tonight I am putting off an exam cram by reading bikesnobnyc's book. I just got to his chapter entitled "Why is everyone trying kill me?". His contempt for dumb drivers is awesome and impressive at the same time.

I would recommend this book to any cyclist with a sense of humor. Short read, but well worth it.

picked up Bellwether thermal jacket/knickers. i -will- lower my riding temp window.....HTFU.....

turned in my gun/badge as ordered and had to sit through a meeting about new duties under the job title rewrite. whee! fun! :/

Omniums aren't S300s. You do know that, right?

Unless your BB shell is somehow narrower than 68mm, using the spacers will usually make it impossible to install the nds crank arm because it won't bottom out on the spindle as it should when properly torqued.

Those spacers are supplied with all GXP BBs - regardless of what crankset they come with - to be used in the event of pairing MTB cranksets (which typically have longer integrated spindles than road/track cranksets) with a frame having a 68mm shell. Adding two 2.5mm spacers instantly turns a 68mm shell into a 73mm shell, allowing you to use MTB cranks.

Trust me, I have spoken with SRAM about this.

GXP spindles are attached to the driveside crank arm and are not interchangeable.
