Scrod,
The Phil square taper BB I installed in November acts like it's over tightened/indexed if I let it sit overnight. Once I turn the cranks by hand a couple times it frees up and doesn't makes any noise when I spin it, but it doesn't spin freely like it should. Is it relatively easy to over-tourque the cups? I used a torque wrench and tightened them to the specified 40 N-m/30 ft-lb. I haven't removed it yet to assess the damage Any tips are appreciated. |

The grease inside those bearings can be a little sticky at first (especially when it's cold outside) but I'm thinking your cups are a little too tight. Experiment a little. As long as there's no side-to-side play, the cups are tight enough.

I noticed their BB instructions spec 40 N-m and their all-in-one product torque spec sheet says 27 N-m. Interesting. |
I would just contact Phil Wood's service department directly. They're very easy to deal with.

Dear Scrod,
Re: tipping mechanics - does the same rate apply as with food service? Or is there some scale that i'm unaware of? I'd like to tip the mechanic who installed brakes/cables/bar tape. I'm relatively new to the shop so I don't know what his preferences are in terms of food/drank so cash it is for now. |
There's no actual "scale" (that I know of anyway) but a few bucks up and over what the actual charge is can't ever hurt, as long as the mechanic deserves it.
People here give us all kinds of stuff from cash to donuts to beer to gift certificates to weird little toys and it's always super appreciated no matter what it is. |
Scrod, have you ever taken the "Omnium" text off a set of the cranks? I want a set, but I think that logo on the crank arm is just ugly as hell.

Lame. It's the one thing keeping me from getting a set, I just think it's a hideous text/logo design.

I got my Cinelli in the mail today, Scrod. No question here, just wanted to say thanks for the cool cockroach and thanks for being awesome.
To my bare eyes, it looks like the top of the head tube is dented like my Leader's was.... Hopefully I'm losing my mind. I'm taking it to have the headset pressed tomorrow and if the top bearing race won't seat I may lose my mind. |
Scrod can we hold hands
|
Have any ezpz recipes that you feel like sharing at the moment? I'm hungry and want to make something tasty.

Thoughts on Brick Lane Frames, specifically the BLB Classic R? Really digging it but don't know much about them.. Whats the weight of the 56cm?

I'm not at the shop to weigh a frame right now but it's what you'd expect a 56cm steel frame to weigh. Probably around the same as a Kilo TT of the same size. |
Cool. Thanks for the insight -- Looking to build a new steel framed bike, just weighing out my options. I know that you love the Bareknuckle a **** ton, so that might be another option. DECISIONS DECISIONS

BLB makes nice framesets. The Classic R awesome if you're looking for something inexpensive but decent. The chrome lugs on the fork with the BLB logo on them look great.

Cinelli is 100% amazing to deal with and I'm glad we were able to get you taken care of so quickly. You'll have your new frame early next week. |
