It has old 5 arm Deore cranks.
<<Vintage Sugino Japan 36t 110mm>> chairing would work?

Do I need to make a picture?

Thank you

If the crank bcd is 110, any 110 bcd chainring will work.

Hey Scrod, what's the best type of foot-strap for a size 8 shoes?

Also, what is the best brakes and brake levers for road bike, for the money for a single speed/fixie?

Thanks!

I have a stupid little question for you, is it bad to take your axle bolts off the front of your bike and put them on the back? It always seems like if I don't put the bolts back to which axle they were on originally they're harder to get on and don't go on smooth. So could I mess my threads up this way? Or am I just thinking to hard about this dumb question.

I can't see how you're messing that up. Front axles are 9mm and rear are 10mm, which obviously means the front won't fit on the rear and vise versa.

I've never gotten a flat with Pasela TGs.

Keep your psi up and they shouldn't be sluggish.

Aside from doing some work on a bike that had Pistards on it, I don't. The rims seemed decent and Miche hubs are quite nice.
