Both are excellent tires. The T-Serv is basically a Pasela PT with beefed up sidewalls.

If it makes any difference, Ribmos do ride a little bit more harsh that T-Servs.

Thanks.

This thread inspired me to take a look at the bottom cut of the clamp on my 2015 725; sure enough, there is a crack. I'm in Boston and use a winter beater, so, there are definitely fewer than 150 miles on it...bummer.

Contact Leader and let them know!

Emailed as soon as i saw. Hoping they have a good system in place, as I definitely want something for when the snow (never) melts!

Scrod,

On your site a 110mm bottom bracket is recommended for the IRD Defiant for most set-ups. What chain line does that produce, 45 or 42? Now, before you stab me in the eye with a rusty spoke for being anal about chain line, :p I'm asking because I'm dealing with a frame that has BB shell that is offset about 4.5mms. Thanks.

assuming you havent already, if you could go ahead and fire off a message to her thatd be splendid, been around 2 weeks now

wanna order the frame and get this ball rollin on payday

Hey scrod, which sizes of pasela PT's do you usually have on hand in-person at the store?

Please update with how it goes, I'm curious how things turn out. Thanks! :)

Hey Scrod, road into work today and the "non-drive" side crank was loose...again... I already did the nail polish thing and torque, but it seems to have worked itself loose again. I checked the crank arm and it doesn't look rounded out. Go with the locktite and retorque? I am thinking its time to start replacing parts...

This bike is only a rain bike/beach/store commuter. What exactly do I need to replace? Bottom bracket, crank, etc...?

I have searched around and seen people say, replace the crank, crankset, bottom bracket and/or just all of it....your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Bike specs:
Specialized Bicycle Components

CASSETTE FREEWHEEL
Shimano 16t freewheel plus 16t fixed gear cog

CRANKSET
Sugino Comp, five arm, polished arms

CHAINRINGS
42T CNC Zen Messenger

BOTTOM BRACKET
Sport cartridge, square taper, 68 x 103mm

Right now we have 25 & 28. Just sold the last two 23c we had but more will be here Thurs.

You could probably get away with simply putting a drop of blue Loctite on the crank arm bolt.

Hey Scrod,

Can you confirm these measurements for the EAI black delux 1/8 cog? Chainline on Bicycles without Derailers

I'm currently chain line obsessed and was thinking of throwing one of these on my formula hub to move my chainline out a little compared to what I have now. Currently i'm running an all-city which i suspect is made in the same factory as the surly cogs because they have the same measurements. The all-citys are 7.4 mm thick. Sheldon's site says the EAI cog (doesn't specify which one) is 8.24 mm thick, which would be a good fit for me.

Yea, I guess I could just add a 1mm spacer but why not upgrade to a famous cog while i'm dickin around right?

Scrod what are your thoughts on this. From the stupid measurement of a the stand over picture and geo chart it should be a 57 which has almost same tt as my pake.

Get over it. 42mm is a unicorn.

What?

Oh **** I didn't post the link

Seller says the size is XL. Better ask the seller what the top tube length is. And I think a 57cm Pake has a top tube of 560+

The good: they are responsive, polite, and more than willing to honor the warranty claim.

The not-quite-as-good-but-understandable: they wont acknowledge it as anything other than a unique anomaly. Which ( if this is a design flaw) means I could very well be repeating this process 200 miles from now. We shall see!

Last question, since I don't want to detract from this thread: How much was shipping/processing? (Assuming you're in CA)

do you have any 3/32 half links in stock? In the site you have 1/8 only :(

That's a reasonable point. Thanks for your help ((not being sarcastic)(or am I?))

can abort the contact to surly, they actually got back to me

what confused my eyeballs is all the sizes have 2 sets of brazeons on the DT, but only the larger ones have the ones on the seat tube as well

Hey- I'll bump the "Leader Love" thread with details when this is resolved.
