... Nah. There are 3 standard finishes in the bicycle parts business: - anodized (AL) - clear, silvers, Ti, grey, black, primary and secondary colors - chrome...
... They're having a big debate on the iBoB now about bike fit. I think so many fit issues could be smoothed out if we could just learn to love stems with a...
... That sounds a tad specious. Why beautiful curly lugs then & cream head tubes a la Kogswell (and Rivendell) then? Riser stems work fine--I had one on my...
I have no way of reading JPEGs from inside my email program (which is text based and running inside a terminal window) so I have to save them to a web URL and...
I love those stems! Can I have one? Especially the black threadless, it's just what I've been looking for. My current G has an aluminum stem that looks like it...
... A little rise helps a little, but not a lot. I like the Nitto Dynamic II stem which has a 90 degree angle instead of a 73 degree one. This gives you 17...
I like both stems, stem one is nice, I could see buying one or two. For me, I like about a 20 degree rise on a stem. That coupled with the head angle gets a...
... That threadless stem is only available in 11. Go figure. But it hints as to the future of threadless; stems with style and functionality. ... Right....

... This can also be done with a stem that uses an internal expander wedge (sort of like a quill stem, but on it's side). These were pretty common 10 years...
... Sorry, I meant a compression wedge. I pulled one out of my stem box and snapped a few photos: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/bikes/stems/ I think this...
I'm being offered this crank as a double: 48/34 It's 110BCD. Should I bother? The price will be about $70. http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6071/crank0we.jpg...
Random thougts: biketoolsetc.com is a THE business that specializes in bicycle tools. That is reason enough for me to support them. When they go under, we're...
... There are a lot of 110 doubles all of a sudden again. I think it would be great to see more 110/74 triples (the Sugino XD is the most common option these...

Looks very nice. Any possibility of larger chainring options for those of us who are not compact-enabled? Thanks, Forbes Bagatelle-Black Santa Clarita, CA ......
... The 110 double has become a hot item in Taiwan. I think it has something to do with road racing (duh!). The cream of the crop is this one from HS (FSA): ...
Square taper please! I love having limited choices in bottom brackets!! ;) It is a nice crank, looks similar to the new Interloc alloy compact crank. The...
I am a dyed in the wool 48/34 compact double fan. I have that combo on 3 out of 4 bikes. The other has 46/34. I run big cassettes on the rear up to the 34...
... I wasn't trying to suggest that you should use a square taper crank. I think BB standards are dead...ISIS and Octalink won't be around that much longer as...
I like the 48/34 combination, and 110 is a good size for BCD. Harris is selling NOS Suntour cranks for 79, with square taper and 160 length. I bet that's an...
I use a sugino xd compact double that comes in 48-34. It has the benefit of a Japanese square taper and it comes in silver. It's nicely finished. It says to...
... That's a gorgeous crank. 34/36 with a 48 rocks. ISIS is just fine with me. Michael W. is right about the fundamental sensibility of splines compared to...
The splines on the Miche cogs can strip under hard loads. I've seen two of them do this at the hands of top caliber junior track riders. It's great idea, just...

I like it. It's my kind of crank. However, it seems to me that square taper is dead because of more of a want for something different than a need. Mike...
Chris, Yes, that is just what I was thinking about. Integrate the cog and the hub. The Miche was just an example of how a splined interface would be a better...
