Yeah I was in padova yesterday, nice city ! Must be tough riding on all that pavement.

Wtf I saw it at the exact same place yesterday !

^ It was made for a contest of Pignonfixe.Com they took shitty frame and painted it themselves.
One my friend did this one with the dude of the previous bike :

Considering the fact that it is custom made and italian, it's a very fair price

This is the shit

Well, it's older than Chrome, made by hand in Canada with superior materials by couriers for couriers, used by most of them in North America. The buckle is plastic and hence it doesn't rust but it's also more expensive. It's a tougher bag, that is all.

Hi,

I'm selling my Pac Designs messenger bag as it is too big for my daily commute (it's 30 L) I bought it in january and it's a really great bag, better than Chrome IMO.

I'm in France and it's 100€ shipped in Europe. Payment via Paypal.

Yes, I had this problem with 2 wheelset, I have to play a bit with the tightening to get it inline but it doesn't come naturally, i have to push one towards the bike in order to have it right.

The compact drops are coming (the ritchey I've mentioned).

Concerning the dropouts, there is only steel on the outside, the inside is a bit damaged by the nuts. The bikes is only 7 months old but could it be this ? I know someone on Pignonfixe.com (as I'm french it's the forum I'm on the most) had this problem but nobody else seems to have it, it's only a 2-3 mm offset and I doubt the chainstay would bent with the alloy rob use.

I've almost finished my hhsb mielec, I've ordered some ritchey logic curve handlebar and will change the crankset to some black sugino 75.

However it becomes more and more difficult for me to get a perfectly inline rear wheel. Has someone had to deal with this problem before ? I don't know if it comes from the dropouts that are damaged from too much screwing and unscrewing of the rear wheel or if the chainstay is slightly bent.

Loving the Mielic LOW

There are only genuine low on this page

The dropouts are the main reason I'd never get an original cannondale

ftfy

looks like a toy.
I have the impression they liked the mondrian colour scheme of look

ouch ! More expensive than a custom aluminium orlowski shipped

Great, I did one time, their english was... special

why don't you just send them an e-mail ?

The serious answer to this is that if you're riding brakeless a carbon clincher makes sense. With no rim braking you dont have the stress of weakening your rims ability to hold your tyre on. Plus I would'nt want to be skidding tubs anyway for obvious reasons.

Dont worry about the stress of skidding.

The only question, is wether you'd really want to mash around town on pricey carbon rims. A dent in an alu rim is usually ignorable. A crack in a carbon rim less so. So its a bigger outlay for less resiliance.

But meh. If you have the funds, buy some fat carbon rims, and ride the fuck out of them.

Yeah I'm riding brakeless, those wheels will probably be a grouped christmas present.
Although I know a crack on a carbon rim is more dangerous than a dent on a aluminum one, I ride fast but cautiously hence I don't worry too much (ie : I've never wrecked a wheel).

mmh, interesting design, never seen it before but unfortunately too expensive for me. I might find some used ones.

Okay thanks, I know my original message was intentionally stereotypical but that's all I needed to know.
You guys should do a Shit fixie skidders say video that would be fun.

Yes, tubs are much better for skidding.

I know rite

To get on a more serious level, I'm genuinely interested in getting a carbon wheelset for street use. Although I know that higher spoke count equals a more durable why would a 24h rear wheel with a super-wide carbon rim would not be suitable ?
I mean the carbon rim compensate the lower spoke count, when I see trackies rockin on 20h zipp 404 which must produce far more stress than a skid I ask myself "why the fuck not" ?
Any experiences or you guys keep thinking it's completely retarded.

^ you're right, I will take some of those track specific vittoria tub although I'm worried with the puncture resistance

Any serious answer, my slave bike hungers for carbon

are those kind of wheel ok to do mad skidz in low spoke count ?
