Chrome Slam Bars, they're a bitch to cut down.

Bought a brand new hacksaw this morning, and it will not cut through them. It's not even making a mark. Any suggestions?

make sure you're using saw blades meant for metal (i.e. fine tooth)

Reduced pasta was shit, sent them an e-mail:

To whomever it may concern,

It is with great regret that I write to you today. Normally Co-op is a sure bet on packaged foods, alas today I was disappointed. You see I stayed at a friends house last night and between us we enjoyed a few alcoholic beverages, as you would expect. Now, come this morning he is still in bed. Not being one to rifle through his cupboards I took myself over to the Co-op over the road (ideal placement) and bought myself a breakfast triple sandwich, some crisps and the aforementioned "honey & mustard chicken pasta". Now, the pasta was reduced which really was the only reason I bought it in all honesty but still I was not best pleased with what I consumed. With a title as such I was expecting at least some honey and chicken flavour. Unfortunately no, all I was met with was mustard. Mustard every single bite of the pasta thing. Not great first thing on a Saturday. This e-mail is here to suggest that you re-evaluate the amount of mustard you put in these things for any lesser man than myself may struggle to finish one, should they make the purchase. Since I am Billy ten men I obviously finished every last bite, other than the bits I dropped on the floor. My friend's dog took care of those, though he looked equally as unimpressed as I was. I sincerely hope that you will consider this e-mail urgent and address the issue of your too mustardy pasta for I feel if it was made a better product then it would not have to be reduced in the first place. More money for you, more tasty for me. Greater good for everyone,

Thank you for reading,

Yours faithfully,

Thomas Halliwell (breakfast expert)

How would I be able to tell if my Tree sprocket is US made? It's a lite Bolt drive I got a little over 2 years ago.

If it is 2 years old, I would assume it is US made.

Will Profiles GDH spindle fit the 19mm Fit indent cranks?

tim_sch · « **Reply #623 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:00:32 AM »

It should, because all the 48 spline spindles are the same I guess. But I'm not 100% sure.

How many people are running 27/9 gearing? Im abit fed up of "standard" gearing, even though i plan to run a freecoaster i want harder gearing. I want to go fast at things & backwards without back pedalling lol. I know some of the Trails guys are running ALOT harder gearing than what i plan on, so is it noticeable? Cheers guys!

^ for the brief little bit that I ran a 9T driver I ran 28T in the front. I'm running 30-10 and 31-10 on my bikes now. Once your rolling it's unnoticeable other than the less spinning out. It's great for longer distance street riding. downside getting started in close up spots. I wouldn't go back too standard gearing now. i don't have any experience with harder gearing on a coaster.

Kinchy · « **Reply #626 on:** February 18, 2013, 03:02:24 PM »

I much prefer 3:1 gearing now I tried it, feels better than 'normal' gearing.

I rode 27-9 for a while on my beacon and it felt fine. I liked it, I usually run a 28-9. It's nice for getting going a bit faster without it being crazy like 30-9. My buddy riding the Ezra coaster rides a 28-9 as well

Topsey · « **Reply #628 on:** February 18, 2013, 05:02:34 PM »

Quality, Im dead certain i want to run the 27/9. I know there's trade offs but the extra speed is gunna be great!

33-9 feels awesome!
