It isn't a SL chain is it? those pins are a PITA

The K710 and K710SL chains have the same pins. They're not really a pain at all if you're using your chain tool correctly.

Maybe its just the 810sl then.....

Same pins. Maybe it's you.

not even remotely the same as the 710 I have on my chainwhip. The pins were more rivet like.

They are exactly the same "mushroomed" shape, except the SL versions are hollow.

OK I'll take your word for it because they sure don't look the same to me

I literally just split a 710SL chain, and it worked perfectly fine.

Dear Scrod whats the story behind crambone?


Sorry in advance if this should be posted in the Retrogressio thread or you have answered this previously.

Leukys eager search for black Nitto bar ends lead me to Retrogression, but I don't really get what they do.

How do they work? Why use them over using the plastic ones that come with bar tape?

They expand. Kind of want

Who's talking about me?

Anyhow from my first hand experience, I happen to have 2 sets; one from scrod and the other 2nd hand. I just want them primarily for cosmetics; they look so nice! As for installation & removal, you're literally going to have to fight them with your barehands to get them in/ out as you don't want to cheat with a tool as it is going to mar the finish (I doubt you would want that and it would totally defeats my purpose), especially with tape that has more padding; dish soap helps through but I was swearing hysterically the first time I installed them. Something about the bar taking it like a female dog.... But alls all, it goes in and stays in at the end of the day while making your cockpit look good.

/the person you were talking about

This is how far the bearing sat on the race. Never had a problem with it but I don't think it was correct.

The oversized crown looked totally fine on the bike the fork came on(Gravity Swift 2), just because the headset was a different shape I suppose, but it didn't look great with the rounded Techno-Glide(on my 722). I ended up painting the bare aluminum black so that the gap wasn't so noticeable and it made it look much better. Here's a photo where you can see the gap though.

For the 20 something bucks I paid I wasn't expecting much, but after ridin around on it the whole afternoon I'm very satisfied.

Will Scrod still build me wheels?

Of course he will. How the **** have you been Jimmy?

Been good brotha. You still have the same number?

Can you build up a bike using only the parts from the featured products on your website?+ any other needed parts while wearing the cycling cap and that shirt ? i would love to see that build =D

Yes sir.

How do I get this kid at school to stop ******* with me and calling me gay?

ignore, ignore, ignore. As one of the handful of kids into punk rock when i was in (Catholic, eek!) high school, I heard this nonstop. **** stops phasing you once you stop feeding the flames by giving a ****. The kid is a professional t-w-a-t and once high school is over you're gonna realize losing sleep over some weak-ass dick was silly.

Or just act too crazy to be ****ed with. I did that sometimes.

"Ask your mom how gay I am."

**** his girlfriend.
