  who's a lucky mother fucker!

  

  Believe it or not this was won, with 15 other frames, at the Strathclyde Police auctions in a lot described as 'pile of scrap bikes' for £125 at the weekend. That's a record carbon seatpost, record headset, chorus bb, alu record cranks, alu record front derailleur and a carbon stem. All on the 'scrap bike'.

  Again a proof that bloody coppers have shit for brains

• Convert a alu/carbon road frame to fixed... Dropouts?

  on race cranks the right crank is the crank with the normal tread,

  with reversing you would have to reverse your toe clips too, or have symm pedals. Look keo pedals are useless now,so yes thats one problem indeed :D !

  treads treads treads,

  is there a tread tread here on this site? :D

  hmmm, with the cog tread you have a point there! But only with the old style treaded shimano cogs, without lockring since you would unscrew the cog on cycling! with a locked cog this is not the case. Skidding on right hand chain loosens your lockring sometimes if not properly fastened, (by the shock it gets) but the fact you can skid a bike with a well fastened lockring, would prove you could also ride hard forwards with the wheel reversed

  No! as amatter affect by cycling the movement loosens your pedal! this is also with BB cups. think of it: your righthand pedaltread is normal tread! imagine your bearing would be "fixed :D"

  then imagine a forwrd cycling rotation, your pedal would come loose!

  with symetrical BB it is the same, left , right, it doesnt give a fuck! at some point all went to the right because of standardisation of parts, for geared road bikes

  i was thinking about that the other day also..... but why is it definied that the chain should be on the right??? on roadbikes it is but on my trackbike..... switch the cranks and reverse the wheel and it is the same! only thing i know of is that on track tubes the decals are on one side (left side) because you ride on your right side of the wheel and the surface of those decals is slippery.
