Any question answered...

I have a Bergaus one. Was about 160 squid and is good. Don't know the name of the actual coat but the bloke at the Berghaus shop said it was their most popular one.

If you are not trolling

He isn't strictly trolling, but he is jumping to conclusions as you haven't told us why you're pulling the BB. If it has been in your indoor track iron for a decade and you just want to freshen up the grease, stick with the loose ball Sugino, it's faster than a cartridge BB and will last effectively forever on a track race bike with a modicum of maintenance. If you have fucked the bearings by commuting in all weathers for a month, definitely get a UN55 or a Campag cartridge BB.

No, I thought he was trolling because the Tange Seiki one I linked is the only drop-in replacement (AFAIK) for 75s, it's either that one or Sugino, everything else is not quite right or completely wrong.

As for the why, I will not open it up just yet, but I want to buy the tooling, as I plan to re-grease it before the next winter. Which is also probably an overkill as I generally only ride when it's nice weather (which is most of the time where I live) and avoid rain.

I thought about buying sealed cartridge Tange, but I think it's not needed, I will know more when I pull it out for the first time.

If it has been in your indoor track iron for a decade...

It can be any BB as long it's the correct length, doesn't even need to be ISO.

FWIW, I've been impressed by the Token cartridge BB in my RollerFort, I'd take it over the Campag Centaur just for the better tool interface, and it's half the price.

Hey guys, my previous iro track frame ran a 110mm bb with some converted road cranks.
Surely a fuji track frame with the same BB shell size will also need a 110mm bb to run the same cranks?

Do Sidi make any of the mtb shoes with replaceable bottom parts in Mega fit?

Cloth bar tape and hockey tape are pretty much the same thing, right?

Anyone own a good looking detached house with a driveway in easy distance of central London?
We need a location to film in this coming Monday (27th April).
We have dollar (some).

Hockey tape is stickier.

Much stickier, awful substitute.

I was wondering whether my hubs were 11 speed compatible. The rear is a novatec F172SB. Version 2.3 of this hub is not 11 speed compatible, but version 2.4 is.

I emailed novatec's european distributor to ask how to tell whether I have version 2.3 or 2.4. They replied with the attached picture. They said that if my hub has the spacer it is 11 speed compatible.

I attached a photo of my hub, which appears to have a spacer, for confirmation and they said

"Yes, it means you can use it with 11speed shim cassette body."

I am confused I thought that an 11 speed cassette body was longer that a 10 speed body, so I don't know how it will fit on given that I have a 10 speed on there currently and it isnt wobbly.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Yes @spotter has the details

What tool is this? Apparently pro mechanics used it as a pump during paris roubaix

@amey not exact brand but should help find something.

@laner I thought the new UK version of the dominator 5 would but I can't see it on sidi cafe.

Thought dominators had made the switch to forever un-replaceable bottoms

I don't see how a spacer there would help with cassette fit.

Maybe you're supposed to remove the spacer and fit a larger freehub body?

Theres a special UK version with replaceable souls

http://www.sidicafe.co.uk/sidi-mtb-dominator-5-srs.html

I've got them

replaceable souls

Want.

Yeah I have a pair of those, too.

bly.

Just have the jab, it's one

you're in east right? there's a drop in centre in stratford, on vicarage lane, open until 8pm every evening, they might do it. it's not the nicest experience going there, but it's free and open late enough to go after work. just be prepared to wait

It doesn't says anythin about it being in a mega fit.
