Is 23 mm tires on 23 mm rims as cool as everyone says?

/notscrod, but I didn't get any search hits under his username.

I've had good results with the 700x30 Kenda Kwicks on grass, dirt trails, and moderate-sized gravel. TBH, mine have spent most of their 3000 miles on the road, and now that the tread has worn down (soft-ish rubber), they're fairly fast and comfortable. I think I'm getting my $40 worth for the pair. :thumb:

Yeah, it got lost on the bottom of the last page, but those tires are so cheap, I figured as long as they were bigger and grippier than my 25C Tourguards, they'd be good enough for my one ride or for the winter if I end up liking them.

Scrod,

Do you see any issues with some light trail riding on my 722? It's not going to assplode once it goes off the road?

I think you'll be okay.

And yeah, I agree about the Kendas.

dear scrod, when is velomine going to offer wheelsets with hplussun tb14 and their archetype??

I don't work for Velomine but feel free to ask them.

but you know everything :(

Hey scrod, how much does it normally cost to thread a fork? Because i dont know anyone with a dye that big

Imma hit up the local machine shops before the bike shops i have a feeling they can help me faster and better c;

Scrod,

Thickslick or Gatorskin

Did it reinvent the wheel? No.

Does it change your overall ride a little bit? Yes.

Gator Hardshell.

If the fork is threadless, you're screwed.

A machine shop will need to remove the steerer from the fork in order to turn it on a lathe, then weld it back on.

Hey Scrod,

I'm building another Rush and I ordered the threadless fork because they don't make a threaded one in white that matches the frame.

I'm looking at two options:
Have the threadless fork threaded and buy one of those NJS Tange headsets and some sort of cool quill stem (3tt, Nitto, etc).
or
Put a threadless headset and stem on it.

I don't like the looks of threadless stems on traditional steel track frames but I do know that it's far more convenient for swapping bars.
Could you recommend a good quality 1" threadless headset and stem that would be comparable in price and quality to the threaded setup I'm looking at? There doesn't seem to be much selection for threadless 1" and I've never had to shop for it before.

See the post directly above yours.

The IRD TechnoGlide is an awesome headset that has a classic look if you don't want to shell out Chris King bucks.

Dear scrod,

How's the devil chain holding up? Any long run thoughts and opinions about it? Compared to the 710sl?

Yes I want those superb stickers.

Wow that was lazy of me :P Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE the D-101. It's pretty loud when the bike is up in the air on a work stand but is uber-silent while riding.

fwiw, I have a different stem for every bar I use.

True that. Quill stems are cheap and I used to do the same thing. That makes it even faster than switching bars on threadless

Dear scrods
should i get a leader 725 frame or a motobecane team track

MB Team Tracks have been sold out for a long, long time.

Get a Leader.

Heard something about them restocking the team tracks in December.

Who knows.

I'd still rather have a 725.

Cool trying to become the next Emi Brown or Jason Yim. Jk just wanna be me.

I'm running the IRD Technoglide on my 930 and I love it. Low stack height though so spacers will be needed if the threading is long.

That's what I'm running as well, and yeah loud when in air, silent when there's a load on it.

Anyone...

Opinions on Miche cranks + BB? I have someone offering me a set for cheap. Sort of tempted but have read a couple mixed reviews, especially around the BB. Would like more info.
