I looked at the picture with the integrated handlebars and thought, that is just silly.

Looks cool otherwise. :)

Just back from a quick ride. While pedaling under load only, I now get this shearing noise, almost like a quick metal on metal swipe on the downstroke. I can stop it from happening by spinning smoothly but when taking off from a start it's hard to avoid. Is my bottom bracket destroying itself? Any insight is much appreciated.

Scrod, due to my foot size, I need an XL toe clip. But because of my short wheel base and everything, there is a fair amount of toeverlap. Would I be fine with a smaller toe clip to help eliminate this? Or would that put my feet in too much of an incorrect position on the pedal?

Scrod,

These Campy road cranks are on my local craigslist. Since I was going to buy the IRD Defiant crankset, I figured an actual Campy set might be better. Do you know if using the outer ring would give me the right chain line, and if I'd be able to get a proper modern sealed BB to use it with? Basically just curious if it would make more sense to go with this or the IRD cranks for my 722.

I'm sure you could find something that works. I'm pretty sure thewilson has that same crankset on his crazy Russian bike.

Wasn't your original intention for the 722 to be a 'beater'? :lol:

How big are your feet? I have size 12 feet and use large clips.

Without having the bike in front of me/riding it, I really can't say. It doesn't sound good, though.

Why yes, I do have a pair of campy road cranks on my bike. Works just dandy. :lol:

'sup scrod

So I received my Wellgo Ro-25B & MKS clips... Thanks! I went with a size L clip as my shoe size is 9.5 or 10 Nike. There is a bit of pinch with the clips that can probably stretch out. Maybe it is my shoes which are Nike running shoes but there is just enough pedal grip to prevent sliding in & not enough top clearance to raise foot above grippy pedals. even when I can slide my foot it it is like I am forcing my foot in... flipping is pretty easy

do I need to HTFU? switch to plastic? Diff shoes? stretch out clips? is this common?

Thankshttp://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=255235

Bend the clips to make them open a bit wider.

How tight is your chain?

Didn't think of that. If your chain is too tight, it may be binding if your chainring is off center or less than perfectly round.

There is just about 3/4 to an 1" of slack. Would this still happen with the appropriate amount of slack but an out of round chainring?

Shut up.:lol:

thanks, bent them quite a bit to get it right...

Hey thanks a lot. I think that article is great and I'm going to do it that way also.

Although I don't think I'll be selling it on eBay, only 5 hours and no bids. :[

Unless people always wait last minute to snipe the lowest price possible.

welcome to ebay!

Welcome to selling on eBay, more like. I'm just used to seeing at least 1 bidder on am item. lol

yay im helping!

Same as you, a 12. Thanks for the help man.

Scrod do you know if there is any significant reason to go with the Garmin 500 over the 200?

There's threads about those two devices all over the internet. I don't want to sound like a dick, but people have to stop using Scrod like he's google :P

first result
200 doesn't have HRM/cadence support. And also doesn't have custom displays.

Your right, I forgot for a second that I was basically on a bike info database.

scrod what do you think of the geo for my schwinn?

http://www.schwinnbikes.com/bikes/ur...4445#/geometry

500 is a much higher number than 200. The one with the higher model number is obviously superior.

And this. I've never even seen either one of those devices and know nothing about them.

Why does this matter? Do you like it?

gaah ive drank to much and its 5 am. i seriously had a question reguarding the geo for my frame but its gone now.

apparently i left it out with my last post... ummm errr darn.. i wanna say how do those numbers relate to regular track frame geo but im assuming thats relative depending on its intended use... sorry scrod derp derp derp derp derp.

best answer is here: http://goo.gl/ZRQEU

As soon as it gets here and I throw some parts at it!
