Is this thread real?
Suggesting Shadow chains over Odyssey?
Chain line? what? How could that have anything to do with it? lol maybe im missing something.
Chain line mathematically?
Haha, anyway (after watching your vid) I've noticed this same phenomena before on my BMX with a Drop Buster chain (z510hx). I wouldn't worry too much about it... but thats just me.
If it was a more perfect fit I think we would get more adverse issues.

The Bike Shop / Re: A question to frame vendors/repair shops regarding Standard bykes custom
« on: April 25, 2015, 01:35:14 PM »
The only thing I have a problem with is standard getting the frame back and them saying it's straight/true or fine or whatever. With just that little explanation?
What are their (standard 'byke' co) tolerances/specs on this exact situation?
It's the first sentence in the OP!... how does TpeHep not have a direct answer to this question from Standard themselves?!
Am I wrong in thinking you really don't need a professional frame builder to use measuring tools coupled with a flat counter top? Or something that basic DIY, to properly 'prove' your point? Not a damn camera ALONE. You need both the picture/video with the PROPER MEASUREMENTS IN the said pic/vid, a proficient professional confident in their skills wouldn't hurt though. (any good welder? 'engineer'? machinist even?) Do these pictures exist we just haven't seen them?
Was a refund in any form discussed? (if the frame is so fine to them they should be able to re-sell?)
Since you're 'stuck' with it have you ridden it?
Did I miss where you are from?
We still don't have a REAL measurement, that was visual. and 1/8" = 3.18 mm which is out of G's suggested 'specs'. Is that what you would expect for a ~$600 welded frame? be it on your bicycle? Or what if it was a motorcycle frame? I don't have enough experience building this type of stuff but I will certainly ask those I know who do. How about if he was professionally racing BMX? When does it become acceptable?
IMHO it seems acceptable for a bicycle... but I could go either way since we are supposed to be talking about some of the finest welded 4130 in BMX. Not just any bicycle...

Put on Progressive 11" 412 shocks. Had to knock out the old bushings for the updated ones, & it rides much better now. 3/4" lower
What year Sportster is that? Is 2003 the last year for solid motor mounts? Rubbermounts are longer and heavier.. afaik.
This thing is awesome;
So, my shit got hit last week and I'm hating life waiting for insurance to come through. Not sure if it's a total loss or not, but based on the fact that it's 40 years old and was a two year bike I'm guessing that they're gonna write it off. Now my next big decision to make is what to get next. I keep going back and forth between these two.

Radically different bikes, each with their own pros and cons. Thoughts gents?

The Bike Shop / Re: odyssey quik slic cable
« on: February 22, 2015, 03:09:12 PM »
After directly comparing TWO of the new Odyssey Linear cables; 'Quick Slic' & standalone regular 'Linear Slic', to the old OG 'Linear Slic Kable' version sitting on my shelf yesterday. I can say definitively; Odyssey... YOU DONE FUCKED UP. Your new cables are shit compared to the OG ones in terms of HOUSING flex (when pulling brakes hard). It's painfully obvious you changed your Linear housing for the worse.
What gives? Please fix them. I put my OG housing back on yesterday after trying out two of your brand new 'Linear' cables, it's sad. They no longer remind me of upgrading to stainless brake lines on a car.

« on: February 11, 2015, 10:59:13 PM »Seriously, how the fuck are you supposed to replace the ratchet ring? Does anyone know what that piece looks like on a Colony hub?
?
Unthread it? I'm not saying it's going to be easy...
Imagine one of these aluminum drivers being shark-toothed over time by a half-link chain.
