Thanks kaz. What do you use for front fenders?

Are booties/shoe covers are a must? I wear Vans when I ride, but if need be, I could go clipless and buy some booties/shoe covers for the winter.

It's to the point where I imagine him reading the posts you make.

They aren't really necessary. When it's wet water fills up in them like a fish tank. buy some winter boots and bigger straps/clips to accommodate them.

+1. You have to change it back.

You're scaring me...
I still think of Xavier as a girl lol
Back by popular demand :P

I had full fenders on before, but I just took 'em off for CX so now I'm just sporting the back one. It's not too big a deal for me to get soaked on my commute - I shower and change at work, and going home who cares if I get wet. For just regular old rain, my feet just get wet. Like homebrewk says, when it's wet my clipless shoes fill with water enough that it sloshes around. But, meh, they dry during the work day if I take the insoles out and put them on the HVAC vent. I might be getting booties/shoe covers soon but that'll be for CX.

For winter cycling, I wear big ol' boots - my winter bike is equipped with toe clips and straps big enough to fit boots.

haha

i definitely thought that EpicSchwinn was Yung humma

I need some sort of front fender haha. But the Kilo TT's clearance is nil, so I'm trying to see if the downtube ones are even worth getting. :\

Look up SKS fenders. I remember seeing a 47cm kilo on campus with them. Front and back.

lemme SMANG IT GURRLLLLL

oh scrod....does your lady wear SPD shoes? what kind?
looking for options for my finance. i mean fiance.

Can you PM or Facebook me pics? My wheel has like zero clearance with the caliper ( I need a new fork). It actually rubs the front brake sometimes.

Dear Scrod,
Will Retrogression be getting any of the Sugino RD-2's in 165mm soon? Also, do they come in 1/8th inch at all or just 3/32?

scrod do you have a picture of your protype bb with the 75 crank arm (installed) by chance? I was trying to peek at your 725 pics and it looks more flush against the shell than mine does, but my clearance on the chainstays seems perfect. I'm just worried about...

You had it right the first time. Finance.

Dear Scrod,

Who is your favorite Mash SF rider? Rob? Andy? Maybe Emi?










:D

Scrod,

Today when switching my cog when I was putting my lockring back on my hub stripped out where the lockring threads. I have done this countless times and I know the proper way of doing it so as far as I know it wasn't error on my behalf. I'm wondering why this happened? Could it just be because it is just an average non-fancy formula hub that isn't that nice anyways or could it be the lockring, which is also formula, that caused it?

Formula lockrings are known to have very badly-machined edges that can do a lot of damage to hub threads - especially after a few installs/uninstalls. I've seen some that have literally felt serrated, which isn't good. That's most likely the culprit.

Alright, thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna try a miche hub!

As we established on the first page, there is a retrogression thread in the SSFG Marketplace sub-forum. Questions of this nature should be asked there.

There's about a 6mm gap between my nds crank arm and the BB cup. No explosions.

scrod, or anyone

any reason I shouldn't get a miche rear hub to replace my formula?

Your LBS should have a torque wrench.

So who is it? Do you not like Andy, Rob, or Emi? Maybe Dirt or Jonathan?

Most important question you will ever answer: Jacob or Edward?

I have no idea what that means.
