Why does it matter? What's good for me won't necessarily be good for you.

Just want to know your personal preference :thumb:

Be a sport Scrod, he really wants to know what style underwear you prefer but is too embarrassed to ask outright so he's building up to it.

ive already asked; didnt get an answer

He drinks Miller and you're gonna give a crap about his preferences?

I'm not the type of person who criticize other people's opinion/preference.

Well, that stuffs a promising conversation.
Seriously mate, you need to ask yourself if you weren't asking him to specify your bike for you. You can get a feel for what he knows works by visiting his shop. Take into account your budget, ask specfically, and most questions will be answered. Beyond that, there are plenty of thoughts on the forum. Scrod's very good at specific questions, general questions are so common, I understand his reticence. Ask yourself, how often would I like to answer this question? It usually sends me scrabbling for the search function ;)

need another opinion:

I'm not too great with the geometry thing. If a 55cm kilo tt fit me well should I go with a 56 or 59cm kilo wt?

Go by top tube length.

Scrod, I'm considering a new roadie. What do you personally think of the Caad 10 105?

Can you tell me the name of a light aluminum frame with ability to mount a rear brake?

It seems like a really nice bike but I have absolutely no experience with it to base an actual opinion.

Hey Scrod,

Should I use some tri-flow in the threads before I put my cog back on? There is a little lube on a new wheel I picked up, but want to make sure my cog is on tight, but will come off easily. The last time I had to take it off was a beast.

No, use grease.

Thank you very much.

Ah, I understand now !

Scrod: What are your opinions on the FSA track pro chainring and the sugino ZEN chainring, is the ZEN noticeably more stiff compared to the FSA?
And about the brake levers on the retro-gression website, if I send you a picture of my old brake setup will you be able to tell me if the levers are compatible without having to change the brake cable? I'm not too familiar with brakes.
Which tires last longer with skidding and less prone to flats gatorskin or the ribmo ?

Are you really concerned with flexing a chainring while riding on rollers?

Both.

Haha, I still ride on the streets, I don't want to ride the T1 around too much.
Okay I'll send you the picture, answer the chainring question !

According to their overall design, Zen chainrings are machined to be among the stiffest, roundest, smoothest track chainrings in the world.

I hope this worked.

If it matters at all my brakes are dia-compe BRS 101

Which levers are you talking about?

Tektro RL series.

You can use those cables but it will be better if you use road cables with a smaller end.

Right on! I'll be ordering those along with a chainring

What's your opinion on Omniums? I'm considering a Dura Ace crankset. Any pros or cons between the two?

Omniums are a great crankset but personally, I don't like them very much. GXP can suck it.

I just won a Level Super Professional frameset with Hatta BB and Headset. And I suppose I have to build it up now, what would be absolute minimum I'd have to spend? And what would you suggest for parts?

I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not going to do your NJS shopping for you.
