That won't be a problem. The 115mm isn't listed on the site so just shoot me an e-mail when you're ready to get it.

Hi Scrod, I was wondering if you had any Italian thread lockrings available? I've got a pair of Hozan Pliers in the basket, I was hoping I could get both at once since I'm in Aus and can't find the Hozan pliers anywhere locally.
Thanks,
M

We've got some Miche lockrings on hand but for some reason they never made it up on the site.

Go ahead and attach a note along with your payment or send us an e-mail in response to the confirmation e-mail you receive after placing your order, I'll have Angie invoice you for the lockring prior to shipping.

Hey Scrod,

so you know the chainring bolts that use allen wrenches on both sides to tighten? What is the proper name for that? My google search terms weren't enough to get a good answer.

I don't even like looking at it when I change my bandages daily. Posting a pic wouldn't be in the collective best interest of this forum.

edit: I know someone will be along soon to ask what happened so I'll explain:

I mauled my left hand pretty badly while working on my moped a couple of weeks ago, resulting in a missing portion of my thumb and fore finger. The side of my finger got ripped up pretty badly and the nail was ripped off but there's no bone or tendon damage. My thumb, however, is about a half-inch shorter than it used to be. It sucks but it could've been much worse.

lol i love gore.

i almost lost the first two digits of my left index and middle finger from an infamous "machete incident" when i was around 10, 3 years later a friend stabbed me in the forearm with a samurai sword while we were high. dont do drugs kids.
got cool scars now tho, and my left hand fingerprints are pretty much useless

its all good, both my grandfathers were butchers and were missing chunks off more than one finger, its badass!

any nerve damage? the index finger mentioned above has a spliced nerve ending so if i press or grab something in the wrong way my whole hand feels like its being electrocuted

Hey Scrod, I recently purchased a used sworks langster frame. I was having a hard time getting my rear wheel into the dropouts so I measured it. The dropouts were spaced at ~113mm, and the only way I can get the wheel on is to kind of stretch the frame and shove it in. Is this normal/ and or safe to use my wheel like this? Thanks

Your thoughts on drilling bullhorns for internally routed tt/reverse brake levers?
Would just be one side.

Sounds like the rear triangle was crushed a little while there was no wheel in the frame. If it was shipped to you, it probably happened during transport.

If it were a steel frame I would say cold set it and forget it. However, heat-treated aluminum weakens when it is bent. 7mm isn't a huge amount for flex so aside from installing and removing your rear wheel being a pain in the ass, I wouldn't worry about it too much but definitely keep an eye on the welds near the BB shell for signs of cracking.
