Thank you for the quick and helpful answer. If anybody else is looking for same, I just ordered this for $17.95 (a price match) + 1.99 shipping from Treefort Bikes

'Bout to put in an order of a new chainring and chain (both 1/8"). Shouldn't be any trouble with my rear cog being 3/32?
Haven't changed a chainring before and just making sure I'm not wasting money.

You're good.

If you're replacing them due to wear, make sure your cog isn't worn or you'll eat up your new hardware pretty quick.

^ Good to know.

Thanks for the quick answers, fellas.

I need a roll up tool bag that is compact under the saddle that holds basic tools for wheel removal and flat repair like co2, tube and wrench plus multi tool.

I love my YNOT saddle roll.

I almost got this but decided on the pouch instead of the rollup.

I have a tool roll from Lazymonk, and while their website isn't the greatest, its a great product.

$31 for a custom bag after shipping, its pretty nice. Waterproof, and cool colors, if that's your thing.

Trying to remove the Kilo TT's stock 16t cog with my chain whip and it's refusing to budge, any ideas on how to loosen it? I don't have any WD40 with me. Also I'm turning it in the right direction (anti clockwise)


note: I've spent at least a good 30 mins trying to get it off, and I remembered when I took my Kilo to the shop and have the remove they seemed to have a problem with getting it off. Anyone else have this issue?

Place the wheel back in the frame with the chain removed. Attach the chainwhip on the cog with its bar on top and facing to the rear. Make sure ship chain is fully wrapped on the cog and under the whip bar. Brace the rear wheel against a wall and stand on the whip bar.

I'll have to try that, and hope that I don't break something (not too worried about the bike as I am worried about myself...)

bro

probably a dumb question, but are the hatta and sugino 75 bottom brackets, and dura-ace and sugino 75 cranksets all completely interchangeable with the exact same result? im buying a sugino 75 crankset and the frame im putting it on already has a hatta bb, and i dont want to buy a sugino 75 one if i dont have to. like i said prolly a dumb question but im ocd about stuff being perfect

Sugino 75 cranks will work fine on a Hatta 9400 bottom bracket. Make sure it is 109mm, because they made other configurations as well.

63_dorinte

While we are discussing bottom brackets, will the DA 7710 track cranks fit on the DA 7700 road bottom bracket? They are both spec'd as 109.5mm Octalink, but is there some difference? Asking because I have a couple of good road bottom brackets in the parts bin and may be in the market for another track crankset.

Needle bearings vs sealed vs njs.

They'll work.

I have full of mud just between the mini space in the rim and tire, I cant get it off, If I try to wipe it it just seems to be worse and go deeper ... I guess maybe pressured water with a hose should work ... but its winder and the hose is frozen ....

If I take the pressure off the tire the mud will just go in the rim making all of this even worst ... ? Help ?

SquidPuppet

Remove the tires, clean, replace.

kungfu

by the tire you mean the tire off the bike or the tube off the rim... maybe a toothbrush would work ..

prooftheory

You seem to be using these words for things other than what they mean. Take the wheel off the bike. Take the tire completely off the wheel, this includes the inner tube. Wash everything. Put it back. Either that or just don't worry about it that much.

kungfu

Yea, I just hate taking out the rear wheel since I need to re-ajust the chain tension, center it .... Im not really equipped to do this really easily, each time its a fight and I kinda hate it so a solution without this step would be better, gonna try water + toothbrush.

Philasteve

You don't own a 15mm wrench to put your wheel back on? It takes 20 seconds for me to put my wheel back on and set the tension.

Anyone know of some drop bars that have a flat top that are rally wide,similar to the cinelli ram 2?

How long should my front brake cable be? I run bullhorns right now, front brake on the right, it goes past the second handlebar clamp bolt. (it was even longer at the shop)

Huffandstuff

Long enough to reach the brake.
