The original "Columbus" headset is just a re-branded FSA C-40.

All Sate bikes are overpriced for what they are.

So, the new undefeated 2 wouldnt be worth my 880 $? Can you think of a similar build that is more high quality for that price?

Hey Scrod,

I saw on your Instagram that there's a new Heavy Pedal Zephyr with a tapered head tube. Does this mean that we've seen the last of the retro model with the threaded steel fork ?

Both 1 1/8"-1.5" tapered and 1" threaded versions will be available in the monochrome colorway.

Either the Park FR-5 or FR-5G will remove most modern cassettes from any hub.

Hi Scrodd,

How would I be able to get a replacement fork for a 2010 Schwinn Madison? I cant put a normal fork on, it would not look right!

Schwinn never sold the forks alone so unless you happen to find one used on eBay or wherever, you're **** out of luck!

Hi, Thank you for answering.

Well I'm in the UK and I have not seen one in @ 6 months so I guess I will have to get a similar looking set (plain ones would not look right). Any suggestions? (my model pictured below).

Several questions:
Do you have a shop employee named Todd?
If not when do you plan on hiring one?
When you have hired them you should make Scrod and Todd stickers ala The Simpsons. It would be hilarious and people would buy that shizzzzz. My guess is those Ralpha jonxes on the Radavist went real fast because I can't done find them anytwhere.

Gran Compe hubs are much nicer than Formula.

Hi Scrod,

So I took a flyer and purchased a Dengfu Carbon fork for my Aventon Mataro. It was delivered today. Is it even usable? It has two holes toward the bottom of the fork on the inside. I emailed Denfgu but not holding my breath for a response. Is this fork safe to use?

Those are vent holes to prevent the fork from filling with hot air and exploding when it was molded.
