Which adapter were you going to use?

the FSA press in one.

Hey Scrod do you know of any good 16 spoke wheels, I think I saw you post something in an older thread. Thanks.

You must be mistaken.

Scrod,
I recently threw a new set of wheels on my bike. DA22 on joy tech hubs. They were cheap and it's my first SS conversion. After the swap from the old 27" x 1 1/4 I'm noticing more friction while pedaling. Is it a wheel thing or just a coincidental problem in my bottom bracket?

Scrod,

I have had a Kilo TT Pro for a while now and I want to move onto something a bit nicer, so I have two questions:

1. Should I invest into more parts for the Kilo TT? (I already put a new saddle, pedals and stem/handlebars on it)
2. Or should I look into getting a new bike and if this is the case should I look for a prebuilt bike or go to a LBS and build one up?

I love my Kilo TT but I just want something newer and I also wanted to try out Aluminum frames.

What do you mean by "friction"?

The Kilo is a great frame and I don't see anything wrong with upgrading as you see necessary (just ask Nagrom). If you're happy with the frame, I vote for keeping it.

Also, cool thing about it, when you eventually do see the need to upgrade the frame, everything is compatible with damn near every other frame.

That is, if you're using a 1-1/8" stem with a shim.

Indeed I am :thumb:

So what should I look into upgrading next? The Wheelset?

That will be the most noticeable/performance enhancing upgrade.

and/or contact points.

Derp: Didnt read. You already did that.
Tires.

Hey Scrod. Is it true that you can't get brake cable clips for a 721 frame?

Yes, which is most likely we see so much derpy cable routing on Japanese Leaders.

Hm maybe it wasn't you. Do you know of the best wheelset I can get for around 200 dollars then? How do the pre built wheels on your website hold up?

Im referring to the alex novatech ones.

You may want to read the first post in this thread.

Those are stupid and serve no more of a purpose than a zip tie without the dumb little skull.

kay, have any experience with these?

Yeah, those are actually pretty good. The little clips pop off pretty easily but unless you're tearing through the woods getting caught in brush and whatnot, they'll be fine.

I read something about stressing the wheels after the first time you tension it? What do you do?

Okay, minus anything about your store, is there a wheelset around 200 dollars that sets itself apart from the other cheap ones? In a good way.

Are you seriously asking a retailer of bike parts to advocate for the purchase of goods from a competitor? You've got a pair, friend-o.

Yes

Scrod rec's products from other shops when the question is asked. I've seen him link from Velomine plenty of times.

Why wouldn't he? A huge reason RG is so successful is probably because he's honest.

It's like the feeling of a brake pad rubbing the rim lightly. Like when a calliper doesn't open all the way. But it's surely not the brakes.

Yeah, maybe I overreacted.

Will the wheel spin freely when bolted in the frame without the chain on the cog? If not, your hub is adjusted incorrectly.

There are many. To start, Velomine sells several wheelsets that cost less than $200 and this is a topic that gets discussed on this forum regularly. I don't think I need to provide links to every single one.

Relax, Big D. :)

And why not? I know my shop can't possibly sell everything people want so I have no problem referring them to other reputable sources.

Usually like this:
