If you look inside the bottom of the crown, you'll see the Kagero fork is already drilled. It's just plugged.

I noticed that, but how on earth do you get the threaded post out?

Scrodzilla 02-27-12 10:02 AM

If you drill the crown just a little bit on both sides, you should be able to pull it right out using needlenose pliers.

ddeadserious 02-27-12 10:30 AM

Ahh good to know. Thanks!

Scrodzilla 02-27-12 10:33 AM

No prob. Just be careful and drill right where the center of the plug is.

Should I get a black one or white one?

black, it absorbs the sunlight, much more aero than the white with all the sunlight bouncing off and creating drag

Should I get a Randonneur or an Everwear for daily commuting and skidding?

White is more euro pro though.

They're both good tires to run in the rear; but my vote has to go for the everwear as it has more material and is rated for higher PSI's.

Scrodzilla 03-01-12 05:07 PM

Agreed. Everwears may be a little sluggish but nowhere near as boggy as a Rando.

Son Of Ra 03-01-12 05:16 PM

Yeah I was leaning toward the Everwear anyway.. Thanks guys.

adriano 03-01-12 06:24 PM

white helmet by far.

i actually really like how my rando 32 wire beads roll. maybe i got a good pair.

TheRealFaux 03-01-12 10:43 PM

Well I decided not to get either the black or white prolight. I got a white ionos instead :D

Should I get a sram force crank for my roadie? I havent bought anything in a little while, and i could stand to loose some weight off the bike...

yummygooey 03-02-12 08:26 AM

I like mine... :)

Spend money to solve problems.

What's wrong with your current crankset?

CharneK 03-02-12 09:02 PM

New frameset plus what parts I need that I can't move over.

Kilo? Or keep saving the extra $300 for a LoPro, or even the extra small bit for a Soma Rush and fork? All geo's should fit well, on paper.

The extra $300 or so could take me a couple months. Right now I'm on a 2007 Lager.

adriano 03-02-12 09:25 PM

kilo.

TheRealFaux 03-02-12 11:08 PM

rush.

Leukybear 03-02-12 11:09 PM

radio flyer tricycle.

hamfoh 03-03-12 12:03 AM

rush

Muffin Man 03-03-12 12:23 AM

Ideally, I would build new wheels, and drop like 400 grams, but I dont have $300, and a force crank would be like a 200g difference from my current cranks, and only about $130

Sherblock 03-03-12 12:40 AM

buy whatev, only come to us if it's a question of quality or if you want to be talked out of it.

Do you wanna be talked out of it?

edit: save it for collage. i hear the schools make you pay for your own materials (scissors, glue, sparkles, paper, foam buttons, etc.)
