would it be a waste of time to install my crappy eighthinch headset on an 805 fork and 722 frame and take it off when i can afford a new orbit x, or should i just wait?
|
Will you be doing it yourself or paying a shop to do it?
|
myself, id have to borrow a friends crown race puller though since i dont have that on hand
|
If you're going to use the headset for a while and can install it yourself, go ahead and do it. If you'll be getting a new headset is two weeks, don't bother.
|
it would probably be on there for a month or so
my next check is gonna suck so im gonna have some spare money this week and then not again for a while i just dont want my new frame to torture me by hanging on the wall for that long, its so purdy lol (bi-weekly pay periods suck) |

I've had gator hardshells last a month, look at michelin or hutchinson tires and they fail.
|
Gator Hardshells have crappy sidewalls, IMO.
Not sure if you recall what happened when I tried Michelin Pro4s when they first came out but I literally had one blow right off my front rim while I was cornering at a pretty high speed and I still don't really understand how I pulled off not eating ****. The roadies can keep 'em. |

Have you ridden your GP4000's or your 4Seasons yet?
Between their two offerenings with the 4 seasons and the Gator Hardshell, I feel the 4 seasons is the better tire. |

GP 4000 was hit or miss for me, had a set last until the chords, then had another set that only survived a week.
Between their two offerenings with the 4 seasons and the Gator Hardshell, I feel the 4 seasons is the better tire. I just bought a set, wondering what I got myself into. |

The 4000s is a great tire, been on mine for about 6 months; 20 miles daily with 0 issues.
|
sounds like i got an awesome tire. thanks guys.
|
Any chance you could recommend a quality but budget friendly low-flange rear track hub (or hubset)?

Dude. Those nittos are stiff as f*ck.
|
Tomorrow the endurance training begins, it's definitely on this time. Should I make the him go through a climb that lasts for 3 miles with sections having a grade of over 12%?
|
This is the dude who blew you off? I say dig deep and give the bastard everything you've got.
