Have wider bars on it now which vastly improves handling when the rack is loaded (obv.)

yeah i think I would have to get even wider bars to cope with a rack.

No sram force Carbon with 49 ta

I genuinely might...

Gangsta-riders, did you ever ride a Milwaukee Bruiser and could do a short comparison?

Id say that the all city drop is closer to the bruiser, there are few people with them. Im sure +dom could comment

First time I've needed to replace the headset, is it gonna fit a V2 with a cluster fork?

that only one available is 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 so not right for a brooklyn

no, but one of them will

@dimi3 any recommendations?

Bearing are pretty much all the same, just get whatever's cheapest.

@Thomas63

I meant to ask when I saw you, what are those tyres? they looked sweet.

best BB for sugino75 + gangsta track combination? mine is dead. looking for good value

Anything Campa 111 mm

IDK if you consider it value but my phil BB and dust caps has lasted me for ever, they come in pretty much every configuration you can think up. You can also get replaceable bearings so they hold their value pretty well.

IMO if you're getting anything less than phil then you may as well get whatever shimano un54/5 offering you calculate to work.

Not with 75s. Campag Centaur 111mm is the correct answer.

Royce 109mm. Best clearance ever and keeps on going. Closest you'll get to the s75 Bb length with the correct taper and with sealed bearings.

i have a shimano un-whatever with my sugino 75s. have not died.

cant remember what I bought off @Fox but it started creaking after 3-4 months slightly but now it is so so loud.. think I would rather spend a bit more if it lasts longer. i am so fed up of all 3 of my bikes having knackered BBs

tange ln-7922 from japan, some on ebay at the moment, closest you'll get to a shimano un?? with the right taper, but phil is what that deserves ;)

Get get a 75 or hatta BB. i've had one in my brigestone for like 2 years now and i think i've had to clean it out once.

Get Shimano UN55 instead, and if the bike doesn't have a hole underneath, drill it.

oop what size do i need.. conflicting spindle lengths in here. age old question JIS or ISO though

So I took the plunge and bought @Dom V1, love it but currently feeling the need to try drops on it, need to feel how it handles with a different bar setup
