I wouldn't pay too much for a set... they're long been discontinued (when spinergy rev x's were new) and basically, break a spoke, the wheel is binned...

Scrodzy, I'm looking to upgrade my foot retention.

Should I go with a straps+cages set up, OR a BMX pedal/fat strap set up.(something like http://www.fyxation.com/shop/en/87-m...strap-kit.html).

I just use my fixie for commuting and some road distance for fitness. I Don't want to go clip-less because I like to wear conventional shoes when I ride.

Thank you good sir.

More of a preference thing.

I'd go BMX/Straps because they won't ruin your shoes.

Yeah I figured it was more preference than anything else, or what would look "right" on your bike. Seems like the BMX/straps system would allow for more versatile footwear though.

FTFY. ;)

Also cheaper.

It really is personal preference and I can't recommend one over the other.

I can, however, advise to get a good set of double straps over singles if you go with clips/straps.

Soo, this is the first image that shows up in Google Image search for "jesusbananas":

I was trying to look for Scrod's Jesus holding bananas picture, but this works too. :lol:

Scrodzilla 03-15-12 01:49 PM

Wow, that thread!

^ Haha! I found it on later pages on that thread and came back to post it.

Instead, I will post this, which I apparently made:

Dear Scrod,

What are the advantages of a 2 piece integrated spindle and GXP type BB on the andel deluxe over a regular BB?

Dannihilator 03-17-12 07:50 PM

Scrod,

Am I off my rocker for wanting this?

Kayce 03-17-12 07:58 PM

Why are you waiting for it, what do you like about it?

Hell no. That thing rules!

Where's my black front Dia Compe brake hipie?

Scrodzilla 03-17-12 08:22 PM

You mean the one you ordered today? Sorry dude, our time machine is on the fritz.

Soo__Fuego 03-17-12 08:24 PM

I'll let it slide this time ........................

jimmytango 03-18-12 12:16 PM

I need a headset. 1 1/8 threadless, not super expensive. What's a good option? I'd like to either go LBS or Retrogression, so no online only bs.

Jaytron 03-18-12 12:37 PM

FSA Orbit @ Retrogression

Scrodzilla 03-18-12 12:40 PM

FSA Orbit-X is the best bang for the buck, IMO.

jimmytango 03-18-12 12:59 PM

Ok, next question: how do I figure out what stack height I need?

Edit: Google is giving me three different stack heights. Average is 30. I have a Tange Seiki DX4 from 2010.
