F-ing love skimboarding but Dublin is balls for it.cept maybe a bit of sand skimmin

Anyone been to Zapatha or Yaam? Two of my favourite places in the world!

Thanks,I knew it was a stupid question.

I'm slightly confused and this may be a stupid questioné,but if I'm running a 130mm BCD Chainring on my cranks,can I use a 144mm BCD chainring?

Got two 1mm cassette spacers today from lbs,works a charm.Thanks Tynan,You've saved a poor student.

Thanks!I think it's time to bite the bullet and switch from 3/32" to 1/8".

About two weeks ago,I picked up a Mavic Ellipse Track Wheelset.I took the stock cog off my Bianchi Pista and stuck it on,all fine so far.So during the next week of riding I notice my cog slipping every time I skid,not too much,but enough to make me faceplant..Every day after riding I tightened up the Lockring(with a lockring tool) but to no avail.There's no question about tightness of the lockring,I got it as tight as I could.So today,I decided to take the lockring and cog off,clean everything including the threads and stick em back on.When I stuck the lockring on,I tightened it as hard as i could,until the lockring met the bigger threads of the hub(where the threads for the cog start)..I then noticed that there is a gap of about 2 threads thick between the cog and the lockring, even though the lockring was super tight.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?Is it something to do with the fact that im using a bianchi cog meant for a bianchi hub?Are these crappy stock cogs made just for the stock hubs?Thanks for any help!
ps:Sorry if this post seems a tad long-winded,I'm really frustrated!!

Good Luck with it.And you have about a 2 in 365 chance of seeing me on the streets of London,I Live in Ireland.

Yeah the stuff I used took everything off no problem.When you first put it on you see the stickers and everything bubbling up but don't worry about it.Make sure you cover everywhere(I used a paint brush),leave it for a half hour and then wipe all the crap off with a cloth soaked in White spirits.

i'm loving that bike, so clean.

got any details...
Everything is stock except for:
-Mavic Ellipse Track Wheelset(Radial Front,2X Rear)
-MKS Pedals and Clips,Toshi Double-straps
-Chopped down Viking handlebars

As for stripping the decals,I just used a Paint and Varnish remover.If you do use this stuff,watch out though cus its lethal.I had gloves on and everything but I somehow managed to flick some onto my face,burned the shit out of my skin.Also,bike looks shinier in person,it was pretty dull went I took the photo!

Bike:

Haven't got any photos of me but i'll keep lookin'.

I work part-time in a circus.

That's Ace man.Better avoid cycling through flames for a while after taking them off!

Ever so helpful,why do I even bother.

Anyone know if the decals on the Mavis Ellipse Track wheels are removable?
Cheers

              -Formula Track
              -Surly Track
              -Suzue ProMax SB
