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.

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

hamfoh

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

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?

Scrodzilla

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.

Scrodzilla

Why does this matter? Do you like it?

GENESTARWIND

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.

when are you going to share your new frame!?

Scrodzilla

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

Two parter:

Have you ever broken a crank pulling tool? My crank arms were extremely tough to take off and I sheared off the portion that pushes against the crank, then stripped the "bolt" that holds it to the handle. Managed to only get the drive side off.

Secondly, my BB makes a clicking noise every rotation under pressure, do I simply replace the cartridge? Original unit that came with bike, only a few thousand miles on it. Bikes Direct bike, unsure of what brand BB it is.

Just spotted a CL ad on Soma Rush for sale with "the two-in-two-out" wheel lacing pattern on both front and back wheels. Besides the fact that the seller wants $1,600 for a $250 frame... They also note that the wheels "...look like snow flakes and [are] 100% secure" ...are it secure as the seller says they are? Do you ever lace wheels like that? The only time I saw this type of lacing on Ted Shred's bike before.

Scrodzilla

I've never broken a crank puller.

Regarding the clicking noise, are you sure it's not one of your pedals? Most times when someone is convinced they are having issues with their BB, it ends up being something else.

Scrodzilla

I would never lace a wheel like that. Not only do I think it looks stupid, it would also be a pretty big pain in the ass.

Jared.

Neither pedal makes any noise and they both spin freely. I've pit as much a load on them as possible while hand spinning the cranks and no noise. They are MKS Sylvan Track pedals, fairly new (few hundred miles on them). Anything else I should check with them?

Thanks for your time.

Scrodzilla

Check the bolts holding your clips on. I had a slightly loose one drive me crazy once.

calv

If I had to guess, it's going to be a Cinelli Bolt.

Wendell F

Last time I had this issue it turned out the cranks were on loose. Did you grease the spindles before putting the crank arms back on? I didn't on my last build and even though I tightened the bolts real good the arms didn't get all the way up the spindle, hence the clicking from them moving around.

Nagrom_

I hear your never supposed to grease the spindles.

Dannihilator

With the cranks at the 12 and 6 o'clock positioning, press down on the pedals one side at a time with your feet. If it clicks, it's the bottom bracket, if it doesn't it's something else. Also check the saddle fixing bolt(s) on the saddle.
