So just to be sure I need
-Park CCP-22
-15 mm socket wrench
-Spin doctor cartidge bb tool

Is that all?

My 75s came with M8 bolts and not 15mm bolts, so you would need a M8 hex instead. You'll also need a larger adjustable wrench or 1/2" driver to use the Spin Doctor BB tool.

If you're just installing/removing the 75s/Protype that should be all you need.

Gotcha, thanks for the help.

My fork is 1" and my stem is 1 1/8" and my top cap is 1 1/8", so should I use 1 1/8th spacers or 1".

I know this may be more than you asked for but I'm going into full detail just in case anyone else may be wondering too:

To use a 1 1/8" stem on a 1" steerer you will need a 1" to 1 1/8" shim and a 1 1/8" top cap. If you plan on using a spacer on top of the stem, that needs to be 1 1/8" as well. Any spacers below the stem must be 1".

Scrod, I want to order some nice compact road drops from you, 31.8 clamp, for my Langster. I don't care about price, I do care about quality and comfort, and they have to be black. Oh which ones shall I choose?

Ergonovas's duhhhh

/not scrod

Those are the ones I'm leaning towards...im 6'2 205lbs, fairly broad shoulders, thinking 42cm?

ergos

/notscrod

I happen to like the Deda RHM02s better than Ergonovas.

Us not scrods should stick to ergos

/not scrod :p

FWIW - he asked me.

/getyourownthread

what do you like better about the Dedas?

I like the shape of the top section better.

I was going to suggest FSA K-Wings, but after riding with them for a couple weeks I've found that the flats seem just a little too wide(deep) for my taste. And I don't have baby mitts, either. I might need to go with a thinner tape to compensate.

Perfect! Thanks man.

i know saddle questions are kind of useless, but what saddle would be comfy when not wearing bibs or padded shorts? am i forced to buy a brooks? the fixed gear has been my town cruiser lately and it sucks to put on my bibs when i just wanna cruise around.

I find the same saddles comfy without bib as I do with bibs. To me, it's a sign that the saddle is a good fit.

/notscrod

Yeah, same here. The only thing the chamois does for me (besides flatter my wonderful glutes) is extend the comfort and delay the discomfort. If a saddle doesn't work for me, it's not gonna work, padding or no padding.

scrod,

is the 722 RS still being made?

do they have the same geometry as the TS?

well you guys must have a lot of padding on your arses. i can ride my toupe forever with bibs without discomfort, but after 5-10 miles without bibs it kills me.

Cog House has a bunch of them up on eBay but I don't think they are still being made. Not sure about the geo.

Ill have to check that out

Do you think leader would give me a geo chart if i mailed them? Or are they tight lipped with that kinda thing unless youre a dealer

I talk to them every day. I'll see if I can get the chart for you.

I already asked this question in another thread, but I figure if anyone knows - it would be you.

How do you pronounce Nitto? (neato? or nitto?)

Most commonly, nee-toh. We may need to get someone Japanese up in here but I believe the proper pronunciation is closer to nit-tou.

I try to say it aloud as little as possible. :lol:

Hahahaha. I'll ask my wife. Nitto is easy though, compared to other words. When Nagano had the olympics, it was bad. Real bad. It was either NAgano or NaGAno. Japanese pronunciation is difficult, they don't emphasize syllables as much as English. My wife advised me to sound as neutral as possible when speaking.

It's best to say it with an aggitated tone, and a bit of a rising growl, in a karate stance whenever possible. Preferrably while breaking a brick on the "toh", like so...

from my forays trying to learn japanese, which "syllable" is emphasized is everything

2 words will be "spelled" exactly the same but you pronounce one letter different and youre talking about couches instead of jumping or something
