Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

i simply don't understand how any company could justify charging that much for a chainring. unless you're racing in keirin?

my bike. have since changed bars to risers. drops are good for the commute, but no fun.
picking up the matching front wheel tomorrow.

still needs - plastic wheel, ridiculous/impractical massive chainring, stupid TT extensions for the risers (want the spinaci lights).

holy fuck.

that chainring costs as much as my first bike.

Oh man but now I want this one.

the chainring on the T1 is not a super zen is it? Seems like a normal much cheaper zen...

oh btw:

Saaame, £299 on velodromeshop, its so accessible too. NO.

What size standard zen would you go for for HHSB, 50? 52? 55?

52 / 18 for 78GI and 9 skid patches?

53/18 for 18 skid patches?

53 x anything = loadsapatchas

52/19 for 19? (although this tends to have 3 hot spots?)

yes, perfect, got an 18 cog ready and waiting, mind my skidding is only just about there on my 48/18 ratio, must improve

I had 48/18 on as that was the standard ring that came with the Omniums, but stuck on 19t for moar skidpatches

I think 48/18 is only 4 or 8 ambi?

Seriously though, don't buy a $300 chainring.

No-one on this thread needs that level of Zen

48/18 is 3

^^not unless you want to beat the OP

oooh, soo ghoood.

No way in hell would I pay retail or general 2nd hand price for a Zen, pure ridiculousness... Luckily I have a friend who gave me a good price.

And that super Zen.... I could ask someone with a steady hand to write "Super" on mine perhaps?

pretty sure 48/16 is 3
not 48/18

48/16 is 1

my new build, may qualify as salve

fuck i need a bigger chainring.

Reee, apologies

^^^ That roadbike is amazing.

Totally answered my geared salve question.

^^^ Track not tarck

although the bottle cage and gatorskin are throwing me slightly...

If that bike is used regularly on the track, I'm the pope.

Totally answered my geared salve question.

Salve?

Will people stop posting Land Sharks here before I garrote someone with a brake cable!

Its not that I don't like them, in fact its the opposite, I love them a little too much, and my wallet will not take another impulse buy and the rent and I don't wanna be homeless!

P.S.- Not really, you can keep posting them, I don't mind too much... just need a spunk proof keyboard.
