Easy off in the yellow can. Wear gloves and eye protection, seriously.

So I have a creak that just started popping up when I'm out of the saddle climbing/sprinting and only when pushing down on my left crank arm on my Leader 735. I also noticed around that time my chainstays weren't snug to the hub when changing wheels. Possibly related or normal?
I also noticed that when it's all tightened down, it looks as if my left dropout looks crooked.

Hello im in the process of building up a single speed and have come up with an issue. my rear wheel only accepts cassettes with the deep splines (modern 10sp cassettes) are their any cogs that will fit or am i going to have to dissect a 10 cassette with spacers? thanks! i was hoping to find a special single speed cog since their base is wider so the cog doesnt bite into the hub as bad?

As for the creak itself it's hard enough to diagnose stuff like that in person, let alone over the internet.

Also, check out endless cogs. Better than the surly cogs. Wider, stronger, fits tighter and cool anodized colors!

Scrod, we always talk about the Kilo TT being the best bang for the buck in regards to a fixed gear bike. I'm in the market for a decent component single speed mountain bike and I was hoping that you knew of one which was a good bang for the buck and is highly regarded like the kilo?

While it's certainly possible to leave a mark on the world and affect others, life has no actual meaning to you because at the end, you die.
You get one shot. Make the most of it while you're here and don't let too much of it pass by unnoticed. Know yourself. Make every effort to satisfy the yearnings within you no matter how big or small, share your time with people who are truly good for you (and in turn, you are good for) and don't take any **** from anyone. Don't regret mistakes, learn from them. Check out with a smile on your face or at least confident that you gave it your best.

I must say that the material/thoughts contained in these last three post restores my faith in.....I don't know, you lot. I don't expect such depth here. Well done.

Quick question. Right now I'm running with a Velocity Deep V wheelset (32h laced to formula hubs) and I'm looking to change my wheelset and hopefully upgrade from the Velocity Deep Vs. I'm looking at H+ Son's TB14 Rims laced to Formulas, as well as Mavic Open Pros laced to Formula hubs. I found that the mavics are about 70-80 grams lighter than the Velocitys and the H+sons. Will I be able to notice a difference in the weight when I'm cycling? Also does the wider rim of the TB-14 make a difference too?
Any opinion on these rims will be greatly appreciated
(Edit: I just noticed the Archetype rims, and these are also added to my consideration for new rims)
