need to decide:
a) if i stick to square taper and get me a suntour superbe 144bcd faux track (i have the seatpost in the parts box, pedals are suntour superbe road, see dolandale track '17),
b) get a bb for my da 7710 that actually is smooth. 5500 was naff. (da 7710 seapost now on and wheelset is da 7710 to a23s) or
c) ditch the old technology and go something external.
i might go cheap and cheerful with an alfine and 43x16; same ratio as 51x19 and i already have an extra bb and fitting chainring. could go onnomnom but dont want to really.
will also fit well in the dropouts with 2mm more tucked, and was planning to change the 33mm challenges out for black 30mm schwalbe g-ones anyway. this is very related to the length of time require till i p*ncture again on these tyres. very pwetty though.
have a slr flow with cutout waiting at mums to be picked up when i go back 'ome next week
