new stem, seatpost, wheels and handlebars.

i took the stickers off the rear wheel, but forgot to until after i took the pic. 5 minutes later, all my spoke cards were back on

[T3rd Ferguson]

if you ditch that brake could you do barspins?

[Gr00v3]

yessir with a 700

[T3rd Ferguson]

im trying to build up something new but cheap to do tricks on, because with the super tight geometry of my bike i cant do very much anymore

Love the fork and the white Deep V's, but I'd like them better without the stickers:


I can't get enough of Vigorellis:


Another fine Geekhouse offering:

Do you not see the Isis Drive writing on it, doofus?

I had not, up until that moment seen that type of drive interface system. I thought it may have been a hybrid of a multitude of different drives (that I didn't know of anyway) (like a multi-lug wheel) but I was mistaken, thank you for enlightening me with the proper type of drive nomenclature.

Lol i was gonna say somethin but i was hoping they came in different spline configurations. Like "that set of RS's isnt 4x100 is it" only to find out its 5x120. idk

I didn't see that either, for the record, nor know what it was until you pointed it out. I'm still learning about this stuff.

But for those of us who obviously don't know as much as TJ yet...

ISIS Drive, the International Splined Interface Standard, is an open standard splined specification for the interface between a bicycle crankset and the bottom bracket spindle. It was created by King Cycle Group, Truvativ, and Race Face in response to the proprietary Shimano Octalink splined bottom bracket standard. Because the Shimano splined interface is covered by patents, the ISIS Group created the standard and put it in the public domain so that other companies could make interoperable components. As the standards are separate, parts made for one are incompatible with those made from the other; an Octalink-standard bottom bracket (8 spline) cannot connect to an ISIS crankset (10 spline) and vice versa. One shortcoming in the design of the ISIS bottom bracket is the decreased bearing life compared to square taper bottom brackets. This is because it uses a larger diameter spindle in the same sized shell, so the bearings are smaller. Arguably, it was this shortcoming that lead to the development of external bearing designs. ISIS appears to be more durable in a road bike application than for mountain bikes.

yessir

proven time and time again.

pulled off the brake tonight, my brother yanked it while coming down the street and left some pretty gnarly marks on my rim so i decided to just remove the brake all together.

yes, i just gotta flip the stem and i can do barspins all day lon

bar spins are for bmw bikes, not track bikes.

qft, and would replacing the bmw with bmx make it a fixed quote as well?
