It won't be on the 930, haven't had much time to ride it the past 2 weeks.

It's the DJ bike or nothing as of late.

Do you have any more pictures of your gold 722ts? I'm having trouble between the blue frame (http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/leader...ixie-blue-1732) or gold and more pictures would be helpful. Since you've seen the frame in person, which one looks more classy?

terrible creak noise coming from my right pedal. 99% sure it's the pedal. I took it off and retightened it, but any type of pressure on it at all brings out the worst noise ever in it. If I take my feet off them while riding it gets silent again. any idea? thinking I cracked it in a way I can't see from the exterior. it's the wellgo. louder than any noise our clicking gxp bbs made (this was on a sugino 75 setup anyway)

Damn, man. Rough use or what?

not really. and I didn't even notice it originally until practicing track stands in my living room (maybe that's rough?) :p - the noise was bothering me so I retightened and all that then went out for a short ride and it was a loud beast.

Sucks, man. You are forever haunted.

Are you sure it's the pedal and not your crank arm/spindle interface? Also, check the bolts that hold your pedal cages on.

Is there any play in the bearings?

creaking could be your crank arm isn't on tight enough..

That's what I was thinking too. If that's the problem, hopefully you didn't deform the interface.

I checked the crank arm last night as well, it was already tight as sin, I couldn't budge it any tighter. I'll just throw on another set of pedals here to see if it goes away

if it doesn't I'll investigate further

Scrod,

Do you think a 722 w/ S803 would fit a 27" wheelset without clearance issues? or would it be foolish since I'd probably be limited on tire sizes? I just have an old 27" wheelset hanging on the wall I'd like to rebuild and use for a future bike.

I'm looking at taking a jump into the world of wheelbuilding by building myself a rear wheel (and then a front wheel when I have the funds). For the rim I'm pretty much between the A23 and the Foer 41- I noticed the Foer warns against trick riding, which I don't do, but as a ~135 pounder who lives in a city with pretty terrible roads, should I be concerned about the rim's integrity? Am I going to fold it if I accidentally hit a pothole riding home at night? In general, which would you recommend?

Side note: What hubs would you recommend?

Thanks!

Dear Scrod,
What do you think allows a wheel to support more weight: deeper rim or more spokes?

And will Alex Race 28s be sufficient for around 300lbs?

Thanks

I just tried it on mine for ****s and giggles. The rear just barely fit and the front did not.

There are a lot of variables and it really depends on which rims/spokes.

If they're built right and you don't beat the crap out of them, they should hold up just fine.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Neither rim will explode after hitting a pothole. As for hubs, I've been really happy with my Novatecs.

Ah damn. It looks like I start my search for a classy rim. Thanks for trying though!

I've had this issue a couple times. First time, BB needed greased up. Second time, chainring bolts needed greased/tightened. Third time, pedal was ****ed.

Hey Scrod,
Can you recommend a kind of chain lube? I'm getting fed up with Triflow.

Finish Line Ceramic Wet.

How did you gain your vast bicycle knowledge? Any books you can recommend? I am currently reading Zinn and The Art of Road Bike Maintenance

Scrod have you used this one? It's a cleaner and lubricant

I have a question about installing Omniums. My friend has been riding on his set and has been complaining that the binding bolt keeps loosening up. I took a short look at it and tightening the bolt just adds a ton of resistance to the crank turning. In addition to that, he has wrecked only the drive side cartridge bearing from riding with the bolt tight. I looked it up and there is nothing to this so I'm confused.
