Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

It's all possible because I've seen amazon carry VAR's offerings direct via prime.

Do those take a 3/32 or 1/8 chain?

Scrod, can you recommend me a good quality 165 crank/BB set in the 200-300 range for a leader 735, needs to not be afraid of water due to living in Portland.

Also, how bad would a 30mm rake fork be in terms of toe overlap?

Even the smallest size Leader's have no toe overlap - even with the recommended 30-35mm rake fork.

You'll need to be more specific about the crank. Are you looking for 130 or 144 bcd?

Just so everyone knows, Angie and I are leaving for San Diego in a couple of hours and while I may check in from time to time, I most likely won't be spending my time there on BikeForums. If you ask a question here, please be patient.

Thanks!

Bummer you aren't stopping in the bay area. I'd buy you a beer. Or a burrito, whichever you prefer.

I have an Aunt who lives in Renton - I should visit her soon. And bring my bike. And ride with you. And drink beers with you. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

is there any reasoning behind the way some spoke companies sell only odd or even numbered lengths?
