great frame but the fork looks way to big

[Wolves]

i think they leave it really big so you can decide to finish "threading" it and then run it threaded quill or you can chop that part off and run it threadless. I'm thinking I want to use threaded.

[the Repeater]

Why!?!?!

Threaded sucks.

[hamburglar]

threaded is herra sweet

you suck

I crashed and I need a new rear wheel. Decided this after ~4 hours of work trying to re-true it... but the spoke tension is all sorts of fucked.

Are alexrims r-450 ok (for ~$60 for the rear wheel/ $110 for the set)?

How about Forte Titan's for $160 for the set?

Can anyone recommend a different decent rear wheel or whole wheelset on a budget?

If you rely on your bike or ride pretty hard you should spring for a decent rim. A Mavic or Velocity of pretty much any kind should do the trick, but you can figure that a rear wheel will cost you a little over $100.

Worth the extra.

after burning through 2 pairs of Alex wheelsets, i bought some Mavic CXP22 w/ Formula hubs, and they've been perfect and true for almost a year now. great combo for the price. i now have them on 2 bikes.

http://wheelandsprocket.com/itemdetails.cfm?id=7103 has them for $149 but looks sold out possibly? i've seen them for $199 at some other places.

^ i have no idea how you burn through 2 wheelsets. gotta be some serious installation or jumping off of shit you shouldn't be fails.

Hm, my pickle at the moment is that I'm leaving in a months to travel Southeast Asia for 2 months, so I don't want to go and blow potential travel-money on an expensive wheelset. But the clicking/rattling of the spokes on my rear wheel is freaking me the fuck out.

Damn those would be fantastic... except that I have gears. Any other ideas in that price range?

i had some 'clicking and rattling' up front that i thought was a wheel tension problem, but it was incredibly pitted bearing races on some shitty stock KHS hubs (even though they're on some awesome semiaero araya rims). sounded like a popping/ping sound.

Interesting... I will look into that if I get time. I've had some far more knowledgeable folks than me take a look, though, and they corroborated my suspicion about the dodgy spoke situation. He took a quick look/feel at the hub and said the bearings felt ok.

[mlproject]

yeah.. i initially trued/tensioned the wheel and it was still popping. i soon realized my neglect on maintaining the loose ball hubs. they were thrashed.

I'm looking to get my girl a new frame that's pink for x mas. Size 48 - 50 cm.

Right now she has a KHS frame that rides single speed.

She has bright green deep v's and I was thinking of getting her pink so I could cut a bunch of watermelon seeds out of electric tape to make it unique.

If anybody has any good leads I'd love to hear em.
