(Jun 14 06, 10:16)That was the first site that came up on google. How's the quality of those bikes? Better than the quality of their site I hope.

That redline looks an awful lot like a late 90's Bridgestoine X\0.

chain stretch is actually not stretching, but wear of the rivets in the bushings that causes elongation. but, yeah, chainrings and chains do wear out faster. i just use cheap KMC BMX chains that are like 9 bucks, change it every 6 months or so, and usually swap the chainring every 2 years

That's awesome

hahaha great idea. we used to weld/braze bottle openers on certain peoples bottom brackets.
flip your bike over and pop a bottle of beer open.

Mr.D also invented the "Hotdog in the seat-tube trick" for those annoying customers.

Dont you stretch chains and wear out Chain rings more often when you stand on your pedals all the time to get moving?

I used to paint rivendell frames in the waterford factory.

i figure by the time i get new a new crank, sprocket, rear wheel/hub and chain i might as well have bought one of the shelf.

i had never heard of a bb lockring, just googled it. ha! what's the point if it's threaded the same direction as the cog?!?!
- e_b_c0
and if anyone starts talking to you about "bottom bracket lock rings" turn around and walk away.
