I agree with snoops, just keep the downtube sticker. Lose the rest.

just the downtube. always the way.

i was thinking that.

Also it's a 3/32 chainring 59t. Any got a 1/8 between 44t and 46t to trade?

anyone know what bcd the miche primato cranks are?

Just picked up the Rixon. It's much nicer in the flesh!

hhhmmm, not sure if i should keep the rixon stickers on it - thoughts?
Also, those atlanta rims seems really narrow, i was planning on using this for work has any one run 25's on these rims?

i run 20s on mine, think they are designed for 19s really. i think 23s are ok, suspect a bugger to get on and off tho. Could always flip the wheelset the recoup your original outlay (edit: what are the hubs, miche too?)

miche are 135 BCD, a little pain...

condor have some nice 135 chainrings in the sale atm, £24 i think. loads of sizes, even numbers only.

that bike is nice chan. you riding it brakeless for work? or drilled fork?

yeah miche hubs too. I was thinking about selling the wheels, but i'm gonna hang on to them for now. I'll be using cxp 14/ goldtecs on this bike anyway(work mode)

I really dont need 2 wheelsets, but i'll end up regretting it if I sell them.

Anatomic Ed?...

the thing you should be asking is;

"ahead stem Ed?..."

Threadless is superior

This is true

not silver, they are black. and not cut out

sonic cycles do gebhardt rings for pretty cheap, not cut out though. if you want old school look will have to go TA Specilities i think. Or just get another Miche?

any good? I use the 84bcd version of these on an old stronglight chainset and the chainrings NEVER EVER WEAR, they're wicked. Bit big poss?

i'm after a 1/8, but thanks for the offer

Think the newer Miche Primato have changed to 144bcd so it could be either... best to measure (but it will be 135 OR 144)

This is a lie

Dr.chan, you could try goldtec, double sided.

Surely all single rings are double-sided? Is flipping them a good idea, or are there down-sides?

nope, they are usually made to be run single sided.
usually normal ones have cut-outs for the chainring bolts. on one side, some are machined only one side, and the teeth can be offset.
those goldtecs are machine to be run both sides. ie; machined on both sides for chainring bolts and teeth allignment.
