Whoa "Ask Scrod" threads are still here. That's pretty cool.
How's the move to the west coast been? I heard your name come up when a lot of dealers dropped Leader recently (not here to stir the pot) and felt I had to log back in and see if BFSSFG was still the same squad.

Scrod,
i have andel standard track cranks but I need a 48t chainring. I can pickup an Omnium chainring for super cheap but I know they are beefier than most. Will it sit flush on spider and can I use my existing chainring bolts?

Try it. Worst case scenario is that you'll need longer bolts.

Newbie question...
Bottom bracket thread size is always a common spec given for frames, but why is the length (spindle length, correct?) of the frame's not usually given? Is there a rule of thumb for buying a bottom bracket for a frame you don't have in front of you to measure the spindle length?

Scrod do you know the rake for the mondial track fork? Also can you sell them separately.

know of any 36h 650b rims that are 30-35mm wide like the Velocity BluntSS but come in silver? msw/nmsw doesnt matter
unless that rim combo actually does come in silver and the Velocity site is a lie.
