I don't know if electrical tape or old tube works but hey you found a 22.2 lever

magomaev 09-05-15 04:04 PM

thank you so much for help.
where i can buy this shim?
tektro FL750 look good :)

TejanoTrackie 09-05-15 04:41 PM

Why don't you just get this ?

Dia-Tech Dirt Harry brake lever | Retrogression

Scrodzilla 09-05-15 05:57 PM

Go to a bike shop and ask them for a reflector shim (most shops have a box of them sitting around). Cut it to the size you need. Done.

magomaev 09-05-15 06:21 PM

Thank you so much...

If I wanted to re-space my rear Phil track hub from 120 to 130 do I have to send it to Phil or will they just sell you the parts?

Scrodzilla 09-05-15 08:52 PM

I'm really not sure. It's easy enough to do but doing it yourself may void some sort of wacky warranty or whatever. Give 'em a call on Tuesday and ask.

Just picked this kit up. Really well made and legit.
If they're doing one for retrogression I'd definitely recommend picking one up. (They run small tho. Size up )

Mumonkan 09-06-15 09:33 PM

even HP says size up but i find it fits me at my usual size perfectly. so either its just a race cut or im losing fat somewhere and gaining muscle somewhere else

They will sell you the parts. Neat.

How do the new Andel cranks compare to the IMO much sexier looking RSC1 Andels?
On that note, any idea where I can find a white andel RSC1 crank? I believe leader had a version back in the day.

magomaev 09-07-15 10:00 PM

hi scrod. I have a sram omnium crankset. is it possible to have a dust cups for this set. like sugino 75? thank you

rwdbx876 09-10-15 09:57 PM

Dear Scrodzilla,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I am looking to buy my first serious bike and torn between All City Big Block and Thunderdome. I want to use it for 4 mile commuting and occasional long ride on my day off. It seems that Big Block might be a better choice for a newbie. But I live in Tokyo, Japan and Thunderdome is off the catalog next year and if I don`t get Thunderdome now it might be really difficult to get it in the future.
Can you recommend Thunderdome for my situation?? or should I get the Big Block?? Thanks.

Au contraire mon ami, the Andel Standard looks a lot nicer than the RSC1. But, if you must the RSC1 in white >>> CRANKSET - ANDEL RSC1

No, but I've seen a few people use a bar end plug to fill the hole on the NDS side.

I have no answer for this, as both frames may have the same geo and are great frames but are also very different. I can't tell you what you are looking for.

I thought there is a captured bolt on the nds that essentially plugs the hole.

rwdbx876 09-11-15 10:39 AM

Thanks. I guess I will go with my gut feeling.

Coffee apparently hadn't kicked in yet. I meant the drive side. :lol:

Thanks TT, I've seen those as well, but from what I can tell those are 130 BCD so thats a pass. I guess the to the standards I shall go! =)

I think that's a typo. I've got the RSC1 and they are 144mm BCD, although the required BB is 103mm JIS, whereas it's 110mm for the Standard model. Still, I think the finish is nicer on the Standard, which is also available in white and the chainrings are really round.
