Just practice doing rollouts the other way on a bank or something.
Eventually it gets easier cause its more of a fluid motion to continue the rollout the way you spun.

since the BG mainpage is now The Union's mainpage i can't find the chart that lists rear end length for different gear ratios. i'm trying to figure out what a 10/29 would slam at though, so any help could be appreciated. i don't have a 29t sprocket yet, otherwise i'd measure that shit myself. i'm assuming i can just add a half link to my chain and have my axle stay in the same spot (slammed), but i wanted to be sure.

Wouldn't you also need to know the rear end length to calculate it? Assuming its a 13.75" rear end you should be right around 13.85" with out half link, and you should be slammed with a half link. These are just rough estimates but you get the idea.

use this for all your gear needs... includes half links and all that jazz. also, set it to display as tabulated text for clarity.

Has anyone run a set of brakes on an Alienation Deviant rim.
I know the rims are terrible but it's what I have available to run with a front break setup. I don't want to crush the rim.

My profile crank arm sits kinda loose on the spindle. Left to right is tight, it just rocks back and forth in the circular direction a bit, like the splines on the spindle wore out. Is this the so-much-talked-about Profile Wobble? What's a generic fix?

Yeap, that's exactly what it describes. I fixed my 41 Thermals using 271 Loctite. the 242 didn't seem too hold.

My V2 Fly cranks seemed like they were beyond Loctite I used JB Weld on the spindle crank interface. That was more of a permanent fix. Just holding me over until I get new cranks

Allright thanks. I was afraid this day would come. I see there is one 1mm ring inbetween the crankarm and the conical spacer so I'll try removing that first and see if it helps. The spindle is titanium so I wouldn't like messing around with that too much. Is it usually the splines on the crankarm or the splines on the spindle that wear out?

I need a metal guard for a wtp supreme front hub. What fits?

Why run so many tall headset spacers and then flip your stem?
