Mr Miyagi's 50p thread

what are the tester approved 1 1/8' chain

tractor?

Can you use diagonal restraps with MKS GR9s? Want to give foot straps a try but not sold on the bmx pedal look

^^ 1 and 1/8th of a foot? What the hell is he riding?! Not even a tractor uses a chain that big.

"Can you use diagonal restraps with MKS GR9s? Want to give foot straps a try but not sold on the bmx pedal look."

...or horizontal Restraps for that matter. What is the best pedal/Restrap combo?

Leatherman Wave, great all round tools, but I abused mine and the knife is chipped, you do need to keep it cleaned and oiled, still recommended them mind.

Someone recommended me the Victorinox Swisstool Spirit as a replacement as it's identical in cost and apparently better.

I used to have the older version of the Victorinox and really liked it until someone stole it. The one thing is it was very chunky and doesn't have the same ergonomics as a leatherman. But it looks like they have dealt with that.

That's a bit odd, the recommendation was that the Victorinox Spirit is more comfortable to use than the Wave.

Let see if I can restore my Wave as it's really is fucked (can't open the pilers anymore) before deciding.

Anyone want to trade some skills; your graphics for my building?
I have a hand drawn image I want 'live traced' in Illustrator.
I have carpentry plastering and plumbing skills on offer.

PM me.

Size is definitely < 64x64 and <6.0kb.
Any other things I need to be aware of?

It takes about 50 goes on average.

^^^Cinelli for me... Never tried the Fuji though.

Will Brian Rourke do C2W? Custom fit 653 track frame ftw.

i would take the fuji over the cinnelli, i bought a camera made by them and has been reliable for along time =)

Check the geometry as well as taking it out on a test ride.

Biggest difference in geometry between the two is that the Vigorelli have a longer headtube (150mm vs. 120mm*) and a slightly lower bottom bracket (58mm vs. 45mm).

Meaning you can "slam that stem" without fucking up that ancient back of your.

Hope this help

Does it need to be Evans. These do C2W.

I'm sure you could sell the handlebars.

it does unfortunately (i could possibly price match from a few places though it they're listed here)

I have the Fuji frame and forks (last year's in blue that I bought from Hoke). It is surprisingly light and stiff as a stiff thing so should be a good bet for track. Fork drilled for a front brake too. Can't comment on wheels, drivetrain or finishing kit as that's all my own on mine.

i just put a question on the evans site as the description and photo shows omnoms as the crankset but the spec says fuji alloy track. :-/

Oh Bready, have you even check the whole specification?

If you were to believed the specification, it got a steel frame and fork, have a quill stem, a 1" threaded headset, pairs of brakes...
