    I'll take the front off you if they'll fit my fuji track?

    48/19 was too spiny for me. I'm now rolling on a comfortable 48/17 which around town and uphill is fine but down the hill by the American Cemetery I'm hitting the brakes at around 32/33mph. It's called personal preference.

    ^^Hallelujah. Tried the 48/17 on the rear halo aerotrack and vittoria rubino pro (23c) today and it felt smooth and organic. Perfect gear ratio and tyre combination for me, and no, I ain't lance armstrong and I use my front brakewhen needed.

    I live in Bristol, which is quite hilly along the path I travel. I used the stock 48/16 for a few months which I kinda liked although can be hard. Tried 48/18 which was way too spinny for me, so I've just swapped it for a 17T, although haven't tried it yet.

    Thought it was about time I put a picture of mine up since I've changed the stock rear wheel today!

    Stock 48/15, haven't really thought of changing yet.

    Anyone knows the difference in sizes between 2007 and 2008 headsets for the fuji track? I reckon mine's knackered as its grinding when you turn side to side. I've taken it out, cleaned and regreased it without much improvement, so probably looking at a replacement.

    Hey peeps, probably a dumb question: how does one find what size headset to replace existing one?

    Hi peeps,
    I've just impulsively acquired two racers from fleabay, thought I'd have a go at conversions/restorations. Anything in particular I should look out for? I thought I'd start with the Dawes rust bucket. Pictures to follow once the sun comes out again...
    Cheers.
