quick question.

I was taking off my chainring earlier today and i only managed to get 3 of the bolts off.

The other 2 dont tighten or loosen, I tried holding the back part of the bolt with a wrench and then a screwdriver, but to no avail.

Does anyone know of a way to solve this?

get a chain bolt spanner. it looks like a fork with the prongs bent at an angle, one for each notch and one goes through the center of the bolt.

thanks a lot.

Anymore info on these? Why you love them?

[dokydoky]

They're like deep Vs but they have more street cred because they're Campagnolo and they don't make them anymore and you have to dig up old NOS ones and shit.

[hamburglar]

they are nothing like deep vs. and they still make them.

Lighter, stronger than V's or ?

[hamburglar]

deep vs are heavy. they come in many colors and are cheep thats y people buy them. shamal are lighter and more aero then anything made my velocity. shamals are not trick wheels. they are real ass track wheels

what's your gear ratio?

[kenthenoob]

[offmybiscuits]

i see

to do those gnarlay side skids like those jazzy guys in mash sf

i have 53x17

friend gave me his 19t gear

and i got tired of rubbin my balls on my stem everytime i skid

However the new ones do not have the same supercool graphics.

It's a Wipperman BMX chain, pretty easy to find online.

[offmybiscuits]

i see

i dug up my old 48t gear.

and ima try it out with 48x19

edit:

out of curiousity

you know what massan rides

i think hes got the best style

[corter]

you're going to be spinning out super fast, no? i run 48/15 and sometimes spin out, although boston's pretty much as flat as it gets

[captain5640]

I was running 48/16, then dropped down to 42/16 . I recently stripped the threads on my cranks so I got a new set. I'm now running 46/16. My preference is to have a higher rpm than to have to power through things. So I'd recommend going with a GR of something along the lines of 70-75.

[silence_kid]

sorry, new to this thread.. so all you guys mostly used fixed gear?

[fix.]

How do you guys like the track pro for riding on the street? I'm thinking about getting an '05. Also, anyone know a cheapish wheelset to put on the fuji? Something light, aero, I like the look of deeper rims too. The earlier shamals are sexy, but too hard to find.

[Ry'on]

those wheels are very nice looking

its stiff but a good ride i like it better then the concept and the felt. look around for old zipp clicher rims they are Al and are pretty strong.

what's everyone's preference on handlebars?

I have the stock straight bars on my Langster New York and I don't like them. I'm in a fix between bullhorns and drop bars

I'm rockin' both bullhorns and risers. I like to use risers for trickin' and bullhorns for longer riders. Bullhorns provide a lot of different options, as far as hand positions go.

Mostly, but there's some BMX also. I've got a tri/TT bike as well, but I learned what happens when you post that here.
