The Bike Shop / Re: Does no one make <25t sprockets anymore?

Maybe I will do a proper check and some better pictures, but I probably won't. You can probably figure out whats on it. It might be the only 22 with a coaster though.



I have only gotten a chance to ride in front of the house, but it feels incredible. I had to take 2 years off riding while I waited for a knee surgery and after coming back my BMX bike just felt really cramped and uncomfortable. I put off buying a 22" for over a year because I wasn't sure if I would like it, but i finally bit the bullet and it feels great. I have been waiting a long time for this bike.

I never liked 28/9 on my 20", 28/10 always felt pretty good to me. The 23/9 on the 22" is pretty darn close. Everything is in the mail now, and I am super excited.

I found an animal in 23, I guess I will go with that.

Flatland fuel?  Profile wake sprocket $25

I've got whombolts so it needs to be 15/16th

I was planning on getting a clutch freecoaster, but I guess I might just lace up my old 10t ratchet and run a 25. Its really annoying, I remember years ago being able to get almost any sprocket in 22-30 and all hubs had a 9-11 option.

Or 10t drivers either.
I am building up a 22", and it looks like I want to go with a 23-9, but I cannot find a 23t sprocket anywhere.

That disc brake sprocket combo is a marvel of engineering.

Ive got front brakes, bad ideas for that rail, and it looks like you are inviting me. Sadly I don't live anywhere near Iowa.

To expand on what others have said, try looking for local road frame builders.
Its not uncommon for the heat from welding to pull an otherwise straight frame out of true, and its also not uncommon for high end custom road bikes to be aligned after being welded. One of them might be able to help you out. No idea how much it costs, but explain your situation and maybe you will get an empathy deal, a lot of road builders are really passionate and cool people.

He hung up.

The van should have been going faster, obviously.

I love that it was Nate Wessel behind the wheel again. Its a real shame that show didn't go into the backstory of the stunt because its one hell of a tribute to an amazing rider and I presume amazing friend.

Didn't Allan Cooke or someone do the go-kart flip after Colin's death as a memorial to him? I might be making that up.

He did the full on van flip. I cried.

This is a pop rivet with built in threads for a water bottle cage.
You may be able to track one down that is the right size for the cable stop screw.

« on: February 22, 2015, 09:23:00 PM »

The rise/drop is certainly more true than the way BMX measures it, but even that has issues because fork length is going to change it slightly.
Its really hard to come up with a 100% true way of measuring a frame thats consistent across all manufacturers, you can also see this in the several different ways Top Tube length gets measured.

I found a set of tan wall, white tread, k-lytes in my LBS' bargain bin. I was pretty stoked.

I'm really thinking about biting the bullet on one of those ATFs. I'm 6ft tall and I ride a 21.125" TT right now, which size TT should I go with, and what size bars do people usually run on these?
