Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yes. It is the Parlee clamp and will hold the Ultegra Di2 front derailleur.

When I was building up my rock lobster I came very very close to ordering that. Had it in the cart, ready to checkout and everything.

But the miser in me ended up settling for the no-frills sram one at a fraction of the cost which ended up complimenting the frame better as opposed to the crankset.

Random factoid: parlee is located at where scrod+RG used to be located

Killed my non-drive side bearing. Took 4,000 miles, a little less than a thousand in Iceland and a couple thousand during winter. Not bad!

Any bike, especially one ridden at night is good for a dynamo set up. With a Shutter Precision you can get something super light and nice a small and Supernova makes some reasonably small lights. You can also go SON hubs and go contactless if you get a fork made or modified to take their system.

white industries g30 cranks. anodized black w/ purple extractor bolt cover.
30mm bsa bottom bracket. going on my new nature boy frame that is set to arrive tomorrow.

i'll probably get a whisky no.7 carbon fork when they arrive back in stock. since the only thing i race really is single speed gravel/cross i'd like to make this one as light and fast as possible.

Barfly Road 4 Max mount for the new Di2 build.

I emailed Tate Labs to ask a question and the owner of the company called me today to personally answer my question over the phone. I didn't quite understand his description of how how the Di2/EPS mount attached and so he took the photo below and emailed it to me.

This will be my third Barfly mount. I can't say enough about this company and their outstanding products.

Decided to give clippless a try, so hopefully it works out for me cause it wasn't exactly a cheap investment. I thought about just getting some pedal straps but I think they look silly, like something that belongs on a kids bike.



Went with the 530's so I can ride with or without clips.




And I did put a better seat than the stock one on my fixed gear but I decided I liked it on my mountain bike better, so I figured I'd try one of those charge spoon saddles that get such good reviews.

Those arent designed for use without spd shoes. They just have a platform around the mechanism for a little more stability when clipped in. THe mechanism still sticks out. I did some damage to the sole of my right foot riding on clipless pedals in regular shoes. I'd advice against it.

If you flip them over it's just a platform pedal on the other side.

Those are different pedals. The one in your first post is the m530 (clips in on both sides). This one with the platform is the a530. Make sure you got right 530's.
