King of losing chainring bolts. Also king of bidhing the counts back together. Cheers to Phil Thomas' establishment

Feel like I've been there before but cant place it

This may have been answered previously but I cba to go through 29 pages to find it.

Would going from a 165mm crankset to 172.5 crankset make much of a difference (fixed) on the road?

Carrying Seriously Rubbish Gear?

I thought you did but I haven't seen your bike in so long I wasn't sure

Anyone got a longish BMX seatpost they want to sell/give away?

Reckon there's any need for double sided fix-g if you aren't really going to run two cogs at once? I was going to do this version so I had a back up but maybe its unnecessary.

I'm going for a Halo Fix-G on my next wheel, in a month or so. Looks pretty indestructible. Threaded too many hubs over the years.

"Professional Fixie Hubs" says it all really.

was meant to get this on my way back from work but i forgot, maybe tomorrow if i remember

The red chain is about 50% of the problem with that bike

Got one on now due to lack of a better option available at short notice, had one last year and it lasted all of 3 weeks. Conti super sports seem ok but they feel like they're made out of plastic and slippy as owt

Had 2 of those on my bike and thye both split within a few months. Wasn't a fixie skidder at the time either.

I'm at a bit of a loss with rear skiddy tyres at the minute, used to swear by thickslicks as they lasted months, but I'm having trouble getting them in the UK now. Anyone know where to get them?

This needs yellow wheels, or it doesn't count as a John Deere.

I need new wheels and a decent frameset :/

sounds like its going to be the same people as the plaza like. i never went back when the plastic hat nazis arrived

Leader 725 and 735 both have smooth, invisible welds,

I think you'll find that 725s and 735s have terrible messy welds with a smooth putty over the top before painting.

a fake leader is probably going to be built to a better standard, the quality control on the leader frames is not good atall.
I had a 735 a couple of years ago, it started making a creaking from the seattube, upon further inspection there was a hole in the seattube, not visible from the outside because of the attached aero piece to the back of the seattube.
I wouldn't own another one.

I had this problem with my 735, had one 'fixed' and sent back to me, lasted 2 days and I sent it back with the original creaking problem, then they replaced it with a brand new frame and I had to send that one back as well with the same problem. Did a little research and found old forums with details of the same problem dating back three years to 2009! Gave up on Leader after that and told the shop to keep it.

I'd have more faith in a copycat Leader than an actual Leader. Never again will I purchase anything from them.
