I'll go take pictures right now!
Also, how's stock on the Kagero looking? I should have enough money by the end of the week. Well your frame spacing is not going to be exactly 120mm; there has to be some wiggle room to put/ remove the wheel. ;) Of yeah nearly forgot, /not scrod. ;) |
hmm. Well, what exactly is that little black thing that spins along the axle? It has a flat surface on each side. I could spin the inner one, but not the outer one, and there's a washer in between.

Scrod, why don't you run clipless?

What is the bain of Scrodzilla?

Scrod, do you think it would be possible to set up a teleportation service, so customers don't have to wait for their bike parts to arrive?

Steel chainstays are fairly flexible, so they're generally a bit wider than the exact spacing: When you bolt the wheel on, they squeeze together against the spacers. It's possible to go the other way and squeeze in a slightly larger hub, or cold set (read: bend) the chainstays out to handle a much larger hub. There are a lot of people who do this to fit a modern 7/8 speed cassette hub in a nice vintage frame.
- 50% larger than Scrod (in the picture you can see a gap right near the fixed side of the hub, it's supposed to sit right there if I'm not mistaken) |
Scrod, how does one become a mighty moderator? There are people here that have higher post counts, just as much knowledge, and aren't. How does the process work? Is there a panel? What color smoke comes out of Tom.Stormcrowe's chimney when one is chosen?

Dear Scrod
Why is the post a saddle mounts to called a seat post and not a saddle post?Or why is the saddle not called a seat? |

Scrod,
What's your unbiased opinion on Leader risers and the Nitto B259 Urban Riser (i think they just gave it a new name/number)? both are the same price leaders have 2 degree sweep vs. 12 for the nitto correct? which is more comfy? i have a old cinelli stem that is more of a matte silver than straight chrome, id like to get as close as i can too that. the nittos look a little more matte i think.... thankssss |
The 'Urban' model is cro-mo, not aluminum like the B259AA.
I honestly can't tell you which bars you'll find more comfortable. I've got Nittos, Angie has Leader risers and I find the sweep on the Nittos a bit much at times. |
I see you have a single cross lever up on the site... does this mean Angie is brakeless now?
|
No, they came in a pair and she's using the left side.
|
Oh.
|
Why is it when I click on the most recent post on the SSFG forum I get to a post around the 3rd to last page?

This Kilo TT ad says the fork is partially threaded and you could finish threading it. Is there a special dye for bike forks? Before you advice to run threadless, I want to run threaded so that I could use a Nitto Jaguar NJS stem. |
scrod, how do I know when the usb chargers are gtg?
edit: and what are the name of those straps that go around your pant leg so you don't have to roll it up? |

The Orbit Z is a little different than the ZS3 but I believe the bearings and crown races are the same.

Dear scrod,
I noticed you've stocked the loose ball SG75 BB; are you tempted to try it? |
