Hey dude, I'm going to sell my Kilo tomorrow, and the guy actually wants the stock wheels with it. But I've run into a problem I've never experienced before. The spacing on the rear hub actually... got wider? I first noticed it when my axle nut, fully tightened, was flush with the axle itself, whereas it usually tightens past it. Do I even make sense? 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,

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, 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.

I tried a while back and wasn't very fond of it.
You mean bane? Styrofoam.
We've been experimenting but so far I can only make things move about five feet.

(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?

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.

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.
