    Well noticed man! Ha
    Yeah it it’s. Its because I flipped the wheel around to use a smaller sprocket
    :-)

    I thort that was probably why,

    hey rudy what ratio do you usualy use skidding,traffic ect..?i use 47×19 too light? but i can spin.
    also have you covered the breaking serface on the hed clinch?
    soz for the Q’s
    you prob see me on the 26th.

    sound! Arthur.

    Man…Gear ratio is a personal thing I guess, if you think 47×19 is good for you, thats good enough. Then drop to a 18 sprocket to try it out.
    We can talk gear ration on the 26th.
    Hope you can make it dude.

    Hows that saddle? Im looking into getting one.

  • Comment by Pedro — December 20, 2011 @ 1:37 am

    I dont seem to under stand cranks and BB for leaders :/whats the size of you’re bb? what should I get Sugino or SRAM Omnium?

  • Comment by Rudy — December 20, 2011 @ 10:12 am

    Sugino and Sram Omnium are both great and compatible.
    Sugino 75 with a good BB is better tho. The 725/735 model both take English BB 68mm.

  • Comment by Pedro — December 21, 2011 @ 4:34 am

    Thanks Rudy, what crank would you prefer?
