Judging by the number of them I've seen, I'm fairly certain it can be.

that's nice to know, I can build a radial laced wheel myself

I have another few questions.

I looked through some Kagero builds on PR and see that almost(if not all) of them use straight seatposts with no setback. Is there something with the geometry that causes setback to not be necessary with the "pursuit" style geometry?

How "limited" are what's left of the Kagero stock? Obviously, I know you can't know how everyone's stock is, but do you anticipate they'll be all gone in the next month or two?

Do you have a layaway/payment plan?

crankset is on a too long of a spindled BB. What happens?

i.e.: 107mm crank on a 110mm BB.

Your chainline will be off by a few mm - possible causing a little noise and premature wear.

what if the rear wheel is dished to compensate?

That's not how it works.

Seriously. Think about it. You would need to re-space your hub to compensate, then dish the wheel to center it in the frame. It's much less trouble (and less janky) to just use the correct BB.

follow up to the earlier question:

so I put brakes on the 722 and the pads are as low as they can go and just baaaarely get to the braking surface. once the pad starts to wear down I'm worried about tire rub and will have to keep an eye on it.

Is this something from having a frame in 58cm or a 722 thing in general? the brakes are r710s, but I'm wondering if long reach may be necessary? Only the rear was like this, the front was fine.

Try sliding the wheel forward. If it works then you'll need to then shorten the chain

/not scrod

I've never put a rear brake on a 722 so I have no idea. But yeah, sliding the wheel forward should "fix" it.

you could grind down the adjustment area of the break arm. Looks like there is plenty of real estate to trim it a shade.

Also, how many washers are between the brake and the frame?

Hey Scrod did you get a lot of snow in MA today? Do you enjoy throwing some knobbies on and riding threw the snow?

We've got about 3" here on the coast, which will most likely be gone by tomorrow. I do enjoy riding in the snow and I keep saying I want to build a SS 29er for winter use but I never seem to get around to doing it...

no time like the present.

Any seat post advice?

I definitely can't take on another project right now.

I think it's just trendy to use Thomson stuff on Kageros.

As for myself - unless I'm using a Brooks saddle, I generally don't like setback posts because of lower back issues.

Do you use the 722 in the snow?

I usually ride my Raleigh beater.

Any advice on grease for bb threads, etc? I thought I remembered you answering it at some point but couldn't find it.

Cool.

Do you happen to know the stand over for the Kagero?

Yeah this was it, at least mostly, much much better if I can get close to slamming the wheel.
