Get an adjustable BB, then you can dial the chainline in just right, no matter what your frame or cranks...

Charliethbikemonger does a good one on eBay for JIS square taper cranks, or use the Miche Primato BB if you have Miche or Campag cranks with an ISO square taper.

I do indeed stock the Yancopads - loads of designs to choose from!

They are currently a two piece design (cover over padding), but a new one-piece (like the Re:Load) coming next month - should be a bit more robust...

So, special deal for LFGSS members on the old ones - mail me with your username: freshtripe@mac.com

Have a look here for a recent discussion on Brooks.

I've never had any real problems with Brooks in the wet - I have a cover I put on if leaving it in the rain + I have caked the underside of the leather in Proofhide - seems to do the trick!

I had a pair of these on my off-road fixie:

On-One Inbred

They were gorgeous, but let down by a lack of support - they had been promising a freewheel for their proprietory cog fixing, but it never materialised...

Without the option of singlespeed, I decided that riding fixie off-road was for someone with bigger nadgers than me so I sold them on.

Aww, I've spent weeks pursuading my wife + kids that it was the ideal family day out!

Alton Towers it is then...

Years ago at school I made a compilation tape entitled:
"Now that's what I call Tripe! - Vol 1"
The name has just sort of stuck and I use it for any project that I'm into at the time...

Thanks for your comments guys - I'l give it a squeeze (so to speak...)

Hi
I bought one of these for my fixie, but the rails seem to be spaced at 40mm apart, rather than the usual 45mm.
I've listed it on eBay, thinking it was a one-off, but I've just seen another and its exactly the same...
Is there an uncommon Italian rail width that I don't know about, or should I just get physical and force the rails apart?
Cheers

I've also got a couple of YancoPads (with lock loops) on my new site now if you're interested...
