just curious, does anyone run these on a frame with horizontal dropouts rather than track ends?

Oh man, that thread.

I don't even need to click the link to know what thread that is going to show.

:thumb:

Yeah, I almost felt like I had been Rickrolled when I clicked on it and remembered what that guy was advocating.

That thread was so informative and conclusive that it was locked before the integrity of the information was compromised.

Scrod,

I've been mostly absent for the last few months. Have I missed anything good?

Why do so many brands of SSFG frames max out at 58cm? Just a lack of demand for larger sizes, or is there some other reason?

Probably just lack of demand. The majority of frames my shop sells are between 51-55cm.

Aside from a few good FixedDriveJess episodes and some semi-recent drama in the RG thread, not really.

Do I need shop experience to work at a shop? Or will "I do all my own ****." work as a resume?

Maybe Scrod will write a letter of recommendation.

It depends on the shop. There's a shop here in town who only hires techs who have gone through some sort of schooling (like Barnett's), yet I got a job at the old shop where I worked a few years ago by walking in to buy something and the owner said something along the lines of "Do you know how to install a headset? Tools are over there. Get it done".

I get what you mean. Think I'm gonna hang out at the local co-op over the summer.

Is this worth $550: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-s...AdIdZ478714253

Hubs are novatec, rims might be deep v, not sure.

It looks decent. It's brand new and you most likely wouldn't be able to build it using those parts for less.

Spam bot. I think.

Indeed. Be weary of chinglish/ short posts and broken pictures.

What exactly does it accomplish?

They use them for the "mother server/ spam gif host" to monitor BF's traffic, keyword farming, and cookie stuffing, a form of spamming where spammers embed links in gifs.

Know any way to fix this?

Nope.

lol

Scrod i run a kmc z610hx and i was reading up on the 710sl whats compatable to that it 3/32 and your opinion on the chain im running

Comparable*

Do you know how well the chain I'm running holds up to abuse like running brakeless?

Will a Sugino XD2 crankset be a notable upgrade over my current Sturmey Archer FCT-20? I can get a set with a 44t chainring and chainguard, and 42t spare ring for €50. It'll definitely look better on my bike, but I'm not sure if it will have any impact performance-wise?

And is a chainguard cool? Or will it impair my skidz and street-cred?

Scrod,

whats your take on the Cinelli Gazzetta as opposed to purchasing the steamroller?

Probably not.

Who gives a crap about what's "cool"?

This is like asking, "Should I wear flip flops or construction boots?"

They're two entirely different frames. One has tight track geo, one has relaxed geo and can fit fenders and big tires. Which suits your needs?
