^ for the brief little bit that I ran a 9T driver I ran 28T in the front. I'm running 30-10 and 31-10 on my bikes now. Once your rolling it's unnoticeable other than the less spinning out. It's great for longer distance street riding. downside getting started in close up spots. I wouldn't go back too standard gearing now. i don't have any experience with harder gearing on a coaster.

Traded for a Primo Pro hub. Hub was in excellent condition. It was packed super well and  Fast shipping with tracking. Deal was smooth and drama free.
Would deal with him again

I always use a bit of tape around the bar too help stop the chrome from flaking when I cut it.

Tried to put a fresh coat of clear on my frame. Not sure if it
Was the humidity from the rain or different clearcoats reacting
Badly. I now have a nice coat of orange peel now. Guess I'll redo it
in the spring.

Anyone perhaps ever successfully fixed profile crankarm wobble with tinfoil?

 IF you can find Teflon plummer tape, I've used that in the past. It's not permanent fix but it helps

Is this the so-much-talked-about Profile Wobble? What's a generic fix?

 Yeap, that's exactly what it describes.  I fixed my 41 Thermals using 271 Loctite. the 242 didn't seem too hold.

My V2 Fly cranks seemed like they were beyond Loctite I used JB Weld on the spindle crank interface. That was more of a permanent fix. Just holding me over until I get new cranks
