Fyxation rodeo pursuit bars... any opinions on those?

You know I was always an rb021 guy. How do they compare?

They're good. Not as much drop as RBB-021s. The 31.8 version is really stiff.

Damn it! I just bought the 25.4's I wish I had known there was a 31.8 version. Maybe next time.

I have the 25.4 bars in both the pursuit and non pursuit version. I like both quite a bit, still trying to decide which I want to run full time. Leaning towards putting the pursuits on my geared road bike, and leaving the non drops on the my FG. The drop on the pursuits is really subtle, which I like.

What do you think is a good budget commute bike I can purchase? I'm around 5`2 in height.

Thanks Scrod!

Edit: Failed lol

Lol sorry, fixed it

Would the kilo tt PRo make a good commuter bike? (Commutes <15 miles)

Hasn't this stuff been talked about enough on this forum? I honestly can't offer anything that hasn't been said a thousand times over.

Also, please lose the sig.

Scrod,

What do you think about taking a steel track frame, cold setting the track fork end spacing to 135mm, and putting an IGH on it? Will it work well?

Sorry, about the sig, I thought you'd find it amusing.

There is an entire thread dedicated to the Kilo TT, including the Kilo TT Pro.

Maybe?

Good enough for me.

Are Lizardskins ok for removal and reuse? I might have to take off my tape and it would suck if this stuff is one time use.

Why not just get an IGH that's already 120mm spacing? New Sturmey-Archer S3X (3-speed fixed gear) hubs are made in 120mm OLD, and vintage Sturmey-Archer "AW" 3-speed hubs in 120mm OLD are abundant, inexpensive, and indestructible.

Some people say yes and I've had pretty good luck with unwrapping it but have never tried reusing it. You most likely can if you didn't stretch it too much when putting it on.

I think I stretched mine out a little too much, buut I like where its at now. Except its yellowed and kinda gross now... I should probably wash it and see if that helps...

:roflmao2:I lol'd

I have Odyssey Twisted pedals and Retrogression straps on my bike. I've recently noticed that, after riding for a mile or two, my foot has slid forward in the pedal a bit. Slightly past the ball of my foot and more towards the arch. Is this a result of my setup (seat too far forward, etc...), or should I just get grippier shoes? My past bikes have always had toe clips, so have never experienced this issue before.

Tighten the straps.

Biggest pet peeve with customers at the shop?

Do you prefer pedals & straps or toe clips? Why?

In all honesty, my biggest peeve has more to do with online customers who can't take two minutes to read the FAQ page before e-mailing us. If you saw the amount of dumb, unnecessary e-mails I have to deal with every morning, you'd be blown away.

All my bikes have clips and straps. What do you think?

Is there a specific reason, or is it just what you've always used? I originally chose to build my bike with bmx pedals and straps because I find myself constantly having to adjust the straps on the toeclips/straps I have on my geared bike. I feel like it would be even harder to adjust midride when your foot can't stop moving.

BMX pedals & velcro straps work well but I prefer clips and straps aesthetically and it's just what I've always used. I have no trouble at all adjusting my straps while moving.

I always have some variation of Vans on, and I pretty much never adjust my straps at all. Are y'all adjusting your straps really that much?

I like my straps to be pretty tight while I'm riding, as they should be.
