The Bike Shop / Re: Brake lug length?
« on: June 10, 2018, 07:39:30 AM »
Not a problem, forgot to mention use the brake bushing itself as a guide so you can get the right amount of lug just a hair or 2 past the brass bushing, had the same problem fixed it right up.

Yes filing down the lug itself will help with braking power and noise as it will reduce the amount of travel when locking the brake no matter how small. If you go this route do it with a file and go slow, bit by bit until you are happy with it. Simple and good luck.

This looks so good, how's brazing tubing together compared to tig ? Might be a stupid question but I'm genuinely interested, does/will it hold up well ?

You could also take a look at 34R ORTO bushing BB's, they come in Span and Mid, 19-22mm, I've used both Span and Midd in 22mm and they are awesome+light. Won't work well with Wedge cranks aka Odyssey Wom/Twom and Thunder. You use the crank arms bolt as tension on the BB for how much resistance/drag you wan't. Very Nice.

Everything has just died down now in terms of innovation. So stale...
Fly used to come through with some nice prototype stuff though, not anymore.

Paypal is the shittiest way to sell, you can get scammed real easy, I would suggest bank deposit or cash in hand (ie meet up).
Just search paypal seller protection, I've seen a few people get done in for selling via paypal and there are countless other stories on the subject to.
Paypal used to be good a few back, not anymore, one example, buyer can claim item isn't as described even though it is to a T, paypal can then decide to automatically refund the buyer you lose both ways, paypal is good for buying not selling, I'm sure anyone who has used paypal a fair amount of times knows what I talking about, there is ZERO seller protection. Fuck Paypal.

Agreed.

I'm running a Tree Lite SD on my Columns with a 22mm Stolen spindle which is paired with kink spindle bolts. You can run any spline drive sprocket as long as it is 22mm compatible.

The Bike Shop / Re: profile column cranks super long spindle
« on: September 15, 2016, 09:35:35 PM »
You can shorten it by a couple mm each side, me I went 5mm each side, if you do that you will also have to shorten the spindle bolts as well but be careful if you decide to do so as the Allen only goes in so far and what I mean by that have a look at the 10mm Allen and where the thread is and you'll see what I'm talking about , I've done it myself and it's nothing to worry about.
If you can chamfer the edges it will also help with installation, just a quick grind and or file will do the trick and a little bit of fine sand paper to finish it off.
Obviously you'll want to get the cut as straight as possible otherwise when installing sprocket or crank you can have a hard time and depending on the work done could cause problem but a little bit off won't do much mainly if the work is haggard.
Or you could just pick up a 22mm stolen spindle with some 15x1mm accompanying spindle bolts to go with it from Dans for $40 if your not up to modifying.
