~126 gear inches. that hurts my knees just thinking about it. must be a fun top speed but holy hell i hope you use a brake.

I rarely use my 50 x 11 on my road bike, and if I do, its because I'm sprinting downhill with a tailwind. I can't imagine having something that steep as my only gear

Seriously. For some reason everyone thinks Southern California is flat.

GX1 is a fine choice or GP1 or go for another if you want some bar ends. The GP series is certainly more comfort oriented while GX1 is more race oriented but both would be comfy! I haven't used or seen the downhill/enduro grips in person so I cannot say if they are good comfort wise or not but knowing Ergon they probably are.

I know, I was just being a turd.

This guy is either a troll or is strong enough to be in the olympics.

randomrider56 is Shane Perkins confirmed

lol. no but I do ride a **** ton. I tried to upload a few pics of my bike but it says the file is too large :( how can I put some pics up here ? im new to this site so any help would be appreciated.

File is just computer talk for gear ratio.

my set up is a 12 tooth on one cog with the sram s300 cranks and a MOWA 56 tooth chainring. kmn kool chain. I was running the kool knight chain for looks but it broke. :'(

Even at my fastest at the track, I never pushed anything close to a 56:12. I'm also a pretty big sprinter.

So either you're incredibly strong (again like olympic level) or your cadence is like.. 5

Yeah, let's talk about something else now.

No not even close. haha. i am thinking about switching to a 15 tooth permanently. I strength train alot and ride more than i should. i really want to post a pic of my set up on here. how can I? I mean without it saying the picture file is too large.

You need to upload the pic to a hosting site like imgur or photobucket, then copy & paste the img code into your post.

Dear Scrod

Does BFSSFG make you want to punch yourself in the face? If so how have you managed to be so active after all these years?

When you say you ride that up hills, do you mean high spots in the carpet in your living room?

Scrod - all black Chrome Metropolis bag. Have in stock?

Yep, saw it on the site. Wanted to make sure before ordering.

If you can put it in the cart, it's in stock.

;) (glad i got the black tho)

yo scrod, would it be too much of a pain to cut one of the pairs of bars I just ordered, down a bit? Hahaha

EDIT: Maybe nvm, I think they look just right for grips and a lever stock, without being a bus length wide.

Thank you. Wasn't sure. Debating on that Metropolis or a MW bag. 1st world probs.

Only qualm with the Metropolis is that it lacks organization. Switching shoulders with MW stuff is pretty cool though

Scrod, do you have an opinion on mess bags? What's your pref?

from what i spy in the pic....
Map. Swift industries. Specialized. Giro. Bridgestone. Sunrims. Garmin. Sram. Incredibell. Sturmey archer. Shimano. Velo orange.

Your bike needs moar brands.

Dr. Scrod,

Oddball question for you. A brand new, hand built by you or another quality builder, 36h, 700c wheel, no mileage. If one spoke broke (let's say due to a defect in that spoke) how much would you expect that wheel go out of true?
