What's the best way to convince my parents to go (or sneak in to) The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo?

get 'em drunk.

Hmm. I didn't know your last name is Scrod. Are you and Dave related somehow?

This might belong in RG, but I thought I could get a better response here.

How would the IRD Defiants work on a 722? Any comparisons between those and the Sugino RD2's (which I'm currently running)? I don't think I'm quite ready, or even need, Sugino 75's yet, but I do want a nice crankset.

The Defiants will be stiffer and - in my opinion - better looking than the RD2s and will work just fine.

How much would a phone like this be worth?

My protype BB came in the mail today and I installed it. I've never installed a crankset before, but it was pretty straightforward. My question is about the spindle/crank arm interface. I have maybe 4-5mm of spindle showing between the crank arm and bottom bracket shell. I can't seem to push the crank arm down the spindle any further. Is this how your 75/protype bb setup looks?

scord,

when will you have kmc kool chain's back in stock?

Man, if you're parents aren't letting you out to see a movie of such artistic acclaim--though a good bit of it is bologna-- you've got bigger problems on your hand than going to see a movie.

Wrong thread.

You're all set. On a typical Sugino 75 BB, a lot of that extra space is taken up by the external lockring.

Also, that's a very common situation with ISO taper spindles, which have a much longer taper section than JIS spindles. Even if an adjustable cup with an external lockring is used, there will be a noticeable gap between the crank arm and the cup / lockring. The installation on my Protype / Sugino 75 looks just like the photo. You should always tighten the crank arm bolts based on torque, and the value I always use is 400 in-lbs (33 ft-lbs) for square taper spindles.

Is there another reason besides price that most go for the protype bb for 75's; like sealed vs loose ball etc? About to buy a set of Sugino's with the matching BB, and if I can get it for cheaper without causing problems that would be great. I was also looking at these for the crank set, Campagnolo – Centaur BB.

I chose the Protype because it's got sealed cartridge bearings and would rather not be bothered with needing to service my bottom bracket.

Please?

/notscrod but I bought this set and it is amazing! Beautifull, light and stiff

Dude, just go. Do they really ask to see ID at the movies?

They actually do.

lolwut?

that movie will tragedy young minds.

homebrew, you're 16/17?

More like 14/15.

Stay home and Netflix the original Swedish trilogy. It was better anyway.

hahahahaha I wish I could get my little brother into riding enough to want a Caad 10

I wish I could afford a CAAD10 at that age.

**** that age is meant for bmx bikes and broken arms!

My little brother is 15, 6' tall, 120 lbs. I try to get him more enthusiastic, maybe interested in racing. His first ride was over 20 miles at around 17/18 mph. He could be a killer climber

Scrod, how do I get a 15 year old really interested in more than just slow party rides? I don't want to force him and give him a bad taste because I pushed him a little too hard.

Scrod, have you ever been a bmxer who fought a skateboarder or vice versa?

Same here. I can buy any M game, no problem, but a movie is impossible. And yeah, how'd you convince your parents you needed a CAAD 10? I'm currently in the process :lol:

I literally paid for every dime of my CAAD10. I'm proud of myself for being able to save up for 2 years.

Oh, well congratulations for being able to save that much. If I ever got to that point, I probably would be afraid to spend it :(
