Spinnywin!

Since the cranks I wanted are on backorder at the moment, I'm on the hunt for a new crankset.

• 165mm length
  
• 130mm bcd
  
• External BB
  
• 42mm chainline
  
• black
  
• sub £80
  
  

Anything? I could be persuaded to use 170mm armlength too if there's nothing availible...
And I just don't like the look of the Alfine ones...

with a really cheap chain you could actually make a profit!

I'd rather say no braking effect because of chain grease on the disc?

Really take time and get your chainline straight.
1/8" chains are often made with bushings and therefore less flexible to the sides. A non straight chainline will lead to drops.

Here's some advice on the problem: http://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html

Found this while internet searching for fixed gear bikes with disc brakes today...
Looks like it didn't occur to anyone involved that a chain usually has some kind of lubrication that will wear onto the chainring..?

From the look of it... 10 years ago, middle to northern Germany?

Only professional Mountainbikers know how to hide their balding head with a helmet.

This is the only proper way of dismounting.

Thanks, only thing I dont want is to make it too light (not that there is any danger of that) just want it to be reasonably heavy to give me more of a workout.

Some Weight Weenie just died because of this.

I just finished skidding through a Deda Grinta. It was shit and lasted about 3 weeks. Had to buy an emergency gatorskin from cycle surgery and I fucking hate gatorskins...

Nope, missed that.

Imagine a brakeless magnetic fixed gear...
HHSB 2020.

It even loads your gadgets whenever you slow down...

Magnets. We'll be braking with magnets.

In the CP Megathread on pages 3859-3862 @miro_o , @AngelD and I had a discussion about sealed brake cables, ferrules and rubber boots.
Maybe you can apply this to gear cables as well?

more is more. 31.8 > 25.4

Drafted an old lady on an e-bike on the way back home yesterday. Felt bad.

And then there was that mamil on a hybrid BSO. IF you have to go full-kit-wanker at least have the bike look the part too.

Well, you'll get over it.
Drink some beer, punch something, sleep it off. Repeat as necessary.

So I understand traditional > bushingless on fixed gear bikes?
Why is that?

Be sure to announce in here as soon as you make a new batch.
I'll have a trackstandbear in charcoal Medium then.

That was a joke reffering to @HoKe 's Canyons cracking all the time.
My early morning attempt at being funny, sorry.

No, because I am such an amazing rider, I managed to drop a person approximately 40 years older than me.

Yes, but won't it crack?

Genuinely nice older man on some hybrid BSO today.

I pulled up behind him at a red light and on noticing me he made 2 steps back and waved me forward as the light switched to green, waited 'till I was gone and continued in his own slower pace.
Made me smile.
