huh - yesterday they were out of stock on those - ordering RIGHT now

cheers - owe you a beer ;)

cant find em for less than 35 online (in stock anyway)

Anyone know anywhere with any in stock??

Ta

yes i should have done that - doh - apologies.

anyone know of a hozan stockist i london? or failing that a stockist of any other lockring tool??

thank you.

might be better to get the shimano version of the tool as it has an open end so you dont have to remove the crank arm to tighten the BB cup. If your crank arms have a little 'star' type nut at the end of the axle, you use the plastic 'pastry edger' to preload the bearings before tightening the cranks proper. It may be that you need to loosten off the crank arm(s), preload the bearings properly and tighten arms again. It's likely that the arms will come loose after you first fit them as the bearings bed in a little.

Outboard bearings are good, but from a fair bit of experience on 4X MTB's the real cheap units dont last well at all. Also might be a good idea to get the BB faced if it isn't, the outboard bearings are more prone to wear if they don't sit exactly right against the shell.

want to remove the sprocket from my fuji track 08 rear wheel - what lockring tool would do the job?

I take it it isn't the standard shimano cassette tool?

bollocks - flip flop - guess im not that special :(

even a simple black set-up can make the fuji look really nice;

is that yours edscoble? what are those bars?? i dont like the stock fuji track drops on mine, those look nice

will double check tonight, but yes i think i am special

thanks - i think in that case its a fixed fixed that comes as standard on the fuji i have - which means then i dont need to remove the 15t cog :)

vinylvillain, by Cavendish, do you mean Cavendish Cycles at 136-138 New Cavendish Street?

i work right by there and have never noticed them!

hmmm - whats the diff between fixed fixed and flip flop - i notice that the other side of the fuji hub has 2 different thread diameters - like this pic:

(not a halo hub, just looks the same)
is that fix fix or flip flop?

interesting - not sure i understand exactly what skid patches are, but ill go research

will put the 15 back on Cuppa T, when my legs are like iron :)

thanks - so how does the even numbered cog only give you 2 wear patches?

im new to fixed and my regular route has a couple of long shallow hills, the 15 currently kills my thighs - will 17 make enough of a diff?

Ive found out its rotafixa -

would i need an additional chain link to go from 15 - 18t? the wheel is about halfway along the dropout.

thanks bm

Is the stock fuji 1/8 or 3/32 ?

(for the 08 model)

Do you know what that 'wrap your chain in a certain way' technique of getting you cog off without a whip called?

It's a newbie q sorry.

Want to change the standard 15t cog on my fuji for an 18t. What do I need to know about sizes/threads etc? I'd like a decent-ish quality one, where the best place to pick one up in London/online.

Thanks

had mine 2 weeks, so far added a 105 front brake and a goldfinger lever. need to change the cog to an 18t as my thighs are dead. will be going clipless shortly. not too sure i like the feel of the bars. that'll be it though, bought it as cheap trainer for winter when i cant ride off-road so easily.

a list of good riding shoes to go with the clipless pedals list would be nice

have you sold the time's?

ive just started riding fixed on a otp fuji to get fitter, it has 48/15 ratio. Mild uphills burn my legs bad, should i drop to 48/18 for a bit? my legs are quite chunky because i used to train for bmx a lot, so fast bursts for short amount of time, bloody useless for anything else though.

RPM - yep, i guessed that, but im thinking it needs to be tight enough not to feel it slip very slightly when you use the pedals to brake.
