Scrod,
Question: I remember a while back you were having a 'clicking' problem with your BB. Was it 'clicking' or 'creaking'? For about three weeks now, I've been having this 'creaking' thing going on down in my BB and I'm thoroughly confused about the problem...any thoughts off the top of your head?
Thanks.

It was clicking. Are you using GXP or square taper?

Are your crank arm bolts tight? Usually a creaking square taper BB is caused by a loose/damaged crank arm interface.

That would be so fuuny. As long as you're not the one getting hit.
on another note, how does seat tube angles play into geometry? There is plenty online about trail and chainstay lengths, but nothing talks about seat tube angles.

I know with track bikes it's steeper to improve power delivery by putting the rider more over the cranks?

so between the pake and the leader, because you have a steeper(?) st angle, you can get more pawer into the cranks, at the expense of comfort? Does that 1 degree make that much of a difference?
