Current Projects chat and miscellany

They have some decent looking 3/32 chains here

Are you on commission?

Don't cut the fork. Unnecessary.

maybe not necessary, but it will save weight and i hate spacers on top of the stem.

apollox have you thought about Miche system? http://www.velosolo.co.uk/michecog.html
although it does involve taking a lockring on and off.

Eingang what wheels you using on the Seta?

who did that super light weight seta project a while back? it was sold almost as soon as it was finished as i remember

Leave a tiny bit of spacer on top for safety, especially on carbon steerer.

In that case fit the bits you have laying around and complete with purchases as and when. I wouldn't go mental on the spending though.

Turns out it has 27" wheels, I wanted 700c, I converted my fixie to 700c and don't like the gap but have good 700c wheels and tyres lying around. Plus he's gun a clean it up and sell it for a lot more than I offered for it. Can't really blame him.

I too loved to have a Seta, it tick all the box, I can easily imaging it to be made a lots lighter than that.

Nice work Eingang, reckon you'll enjoyed that a lots more than your previous bike.

The whole thing about fixed hill climbing is the responsive nature of the drivechain. The lack of freewheel means near zero lag. I competant cyclist could simply maintain pedal pressure.

Stiffness is everything.

bored photo, still not sure if i like drops or risers more

put drops on the bmx

Chainline now spot on, (thanks chrisbmx for the BB tool!) the chainring is like a mm from the chainstay :|
Just need to buy some brake cables/housing then set it up and i'm ready to go

Saddle angle on the bmx can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Always.
Drops.

Saddle angle on the bmx can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

it's at such a pointy angle because some idiot cut down the post when i lent it to him and how i need it it pointing at the heavens so i can pinch it for bar spins. in my defense though i think the seat must have been knocked recently it's not normaly that extreme

drive side :

^OG Sunday?
It's nice to see a bmx with some post showing.

Took the 8 speed Campag off the Mrs bike last night and replaced it with 10 speed Chorus- dropped a lot of weight!

The rims have a pronounced ridge where they were welded- what's the best way of getting rid of this?

I am considering either a localised Dremeling, or maybe sandpaper wrapped around the brake blocks.

none, buy better wheels

Good plan- I'll grab the shears and take a walk to the money tree that grows in the woods nearby.

put some aside for me then

Installing a SRAM brake caliper to a carbon fork and I'm a bit hesitent to use the serrated-edge washer in case it rips into the carbon. Was thinking of adding a thin plastic "washer" between the fork and the metal washer as a bit of protection. Would that help at all or should I just replace the serrated washer for a plain smooth one?

what wheels are they?

you don't have to use the washer
