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)

1. That wasn't my first post since being back.
2. The number of times I've had to tell people in this thread to ask Retrogression-related questions in the marketplace thread is uncountable at this point.
3. I'm not "grumpy", I'm a realist. Having to say the same thing over and over again gets old fast.

Dunno mate. When I behave like that, I'm called a grumpy old phart, the difference becoming, the old phart part is accurate in my case

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't deserved, more that the first question you were asked (in this thread) since your trip, was one that you'd been asked many times before and needed this response.

Bikes: Custom frame

i have omniums on my kilo tt, with a team sram bb. I'm installing the stock truvativ (dark Grey round) bb on a bt edge. The same crank arms from my kilo that fit, do not fit on the bt edge. The spindle is too long, I bottom out the spline on nds and the cranks can slide a good 5-10mm with a real audible slap. I know spacers aren't supposed to be used. My question is, why does the cranks fit on the kilo. With a 68mm bbshell and doesn't fit on btedge. (68mm bbshell) also, does anyone know what I can do? My neighbor had same issue with stock bb and cinelli mash. He used a 1.5mm spacer on nds. And because of the nds arm rubbing on bearing seat he blew the bearings to crap. (should i cut my losses nd get sram team bb)

Sizing issues are a common problem with omniums. Just take it to a LBS.

What are you even talking about?

The known problem with Omniums is clearance, not sizing. He's talking about something altogether different, which none of us understand.

Speaking of omniums, i'm thinking of picking up a 165 for my leader 735, am I gonna run into clearance/sizing issues?

Edit -- oh yeah, I'll be mostly running a 48 on it, maybe a 50 if I want to be ambitious.

I'm thinking that evil is just having trouble tightening the cranks on all the way and thinks that the splines bottomed out. Lots of people have this problem and then think that they need a spacer.
