My SPD have never let me down. Boughts shoes and pedals about 6 years ago both still going strong. Never clicked out unexpectantly but then again my legs are like matchsticks with the wood shaved off, so I am probably not generating the power of some others here.

From Pedal Mafia Japanese site. Check out some of the videos on the blog area. The Arabian Crazy Bikes are the best and the one above is pretty cool bike control too.

Just trying to get hold of a headset for a current build. The frame seller states that the headset is 1" inch x 25 Threads per inch (TPI) I checked Sheldons site and he doesn't even recognise 25TPI ? Would a 24TPI headset work with the fork ? Thread is English ?

The solution to drink cycling and seeing double ....

If you're seeing double, just carry an eye patch in your bag. Problem solved.

the start of my french trip last summer was the ride down to portsmouth out of london via chichester set of about 11.30 got there about sun down in august 94.8 miles time 7hrs 06min taken from my cat eye which i think is pretty close. beautiful roads all around goodwood and the road from the a3 that goes down to a272 petersfield / midhurst ish i think great journey nice pub lunch and a pint or two

It did get a bit chaotic shame really was great to see the Mall full of bikes though. I don't understand how the splits occur it's not as if the front of the group were travelling at kilo pursuit pace. KEEP UP AT THE BACK

just bought a set of campy super record strada cranks anybody got any experience with these ? looking to get those onto my current build will i be able to get a single chain ring on them and will i need any special bolts to connect them ? should they fit any campy bottom bracket ?

i'm going 44x16 most of it will be flat i hope apart from that beacon thingy

i agree with what aidan says it is a relief when somebody else buys a bike one likes otherwise there is always the chance you might give in to temptation !!

i think it relates back to a mathematical equation for ..... the optimal number of bikes to own as quoted on fixedgeargallery = n+1 where n is the number of bikes you own

it's worse than crack

I have profile design carbon forks and they are pretty good. rake is good and toe-verlap isn't an issue even on a cannondale

was gonna strip and re sell a few bits put others on a bike

watch out for another pair of nice dura ace mavic tubs at his shop

I reckon the Queens fixed has those wheels on.

yeah i saw it at condor today to locked up to an old school bmx

Thats the way I am approaching things. Axel and crank combo will obviously have an affect on the distance from frame / bottom bracket. Depending on fit and how the crank goes onto the axel

i was just waiting for his rear tyre to go pop or his rear sprocket to explode

i guess one just gets used to calling it 44x16 i don't know my gear inches

I am in the same situation, what goes on first ? I think wheel should be fitted as the rear cog will only go where it is put, not quiite as easy to change position with the rear cog , then the bottom bracket / bottom bracket axle length can be changed to get the chain line right
If it is a steel frame I was told yesterday things can be bent quite easily in the rear triangle to accomodate a smaller / longer axle. See the bottom of this thread
Hub recommendations - High Flange, fixed/fixed, SIlver and Sealed?

44x16 can get a bit frantic at high speed
