The exit was fantastic.

Wow. The guy has skills...

Scrod, have you ever seen a GT GTB in person? Why do i see them with there seatpost binder clamps facing reverse? http://www.pedalroom.com/p/gt-gtb-ge...ike-7357_5.jpg

Because the slot on the seat tube faces forward. But i've learned from a few frame builders that it doesn't matter which way you put the clamp.

True but it also helps keep crud out of the slot and in turn the seat tube as miniscule the amount might be. My paddywagon happens to have such a slot placement.

and some GTB's were slotted on the back... it's one of the least homologous productions ever.

Thanks guys. I didn't feel like answering that kid anyway.

I had a GT Pulse once. Kinda miss it.

scrod are you a morning person in general, or are you a morning person because of your business.



I only ask because you respond to many of my "********" morning/early posts.
and i am curious.

The shop opens at 10 during the week and noon on Saturdays.

I'm not necessarily a "morning person" but I enjoy waking up early and having time for myself before going to work.

Hey Scrod, I am in the process of building up a kilo tt, and need some advice on a head set. I'm looking to spend no more than about $50-60 and have a couple in mind,IRD technoglide, Ritchey logic, cane creek sas, or shimano pro rm-01. Could you please tell me which of those you'd recommend...and if there is anything else that might be better than those at the same price point. Thanks for your input[h=1][/h]

Hey Scrod, if you had to replace the standard external bottom bracket on the Andel Deluxe track cranks
http://www.retro-gression.com/produc...-crankset-w-bb

What would you recommend as a cost effective replacement that would be as good/better?

The FSA Orbit X and IRD TechnoGlide are my favorites in that price point.

I love my technoglide if it helps.

What's wrong with the one it comes with?

NDS has a lot of resistance as compared to the DS which has become significantly looser since I've had it.

Just wanted to know what I should look into if I decide to replace it somewhere down the line.

Unless you want to shell out big bucks for a Sram Ceramic (which is stupid, imo) or Phil Wood, you could always just replace it with a standard Sram GXP BB.

No difference between shimano external and sram gxp?

The spindles are not compatible between Shimano Hollowtech and GXP.

Correctly me if I'm wrong then, but doesn't the Andel deluxe have a shimano bottom bracket?

Oh ****...maybe it does have a Shimano-compatible BB. In that case, GXP is out.

I'll have to investigate when I get back to the shop on Monday.

No worries, I have the on-one version of it (all other things being identical), so from what I read, it's "shimano compatible".

When I read this, I thought to myself "I don't usually mind working on them", then today, I had to set up some cyclocross cantis and I wanted to kill myself the whole time.

Yeah, I think you're right. I never really put any thought into whether the spindle/BB was Shimano or Sram.

It's funny, I did a tune up on a cross bike this afternoon and was dreading changing the cables. It was easy as pie and they gave me absolutely no trouble.

:lol:Nice, I'd just never set up brakes like that from scratch so it was a strange thing.
