Joker Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Cool article. I think I've asked this question before but I don't know if I ever got an answer, so I'm going to bug you all once again. I have an eccentric rear hub that is currently set up on that overly silly Look 595 fixed gear project of mine. Since the bike has done nothing but sit in my house since I rode it home (kept catching the pedals on turns... bottom bracket too low?) I've decided to take all the parts and components and build up a fixed commuter/utility bike. Something with full fenders and racks that can do double duty, be fun and look somewhat kooky in mostly white. Anyway, the question is... if I get a traditional track frame with horizontal drops will the eccentric hub work okay with that? Or are they made to be used in vertical drop outs? I know, probably a silly question but I have to ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh yeah... if anyone is interested I have a Rapha Rain Jacket for sale. It's a size large, smoke gray color. Vent in the back, taped seams all over the damn thing, pocket in the front that is waterproof, offset front zip which is waterproof, high collar, tight elastic cuffs, long in the back - short in the front, race fit. Asking $125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbish heap two Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Joker - pretty sure the eccentric should work totally fine. The pedals are catching in corners either because the BB is too low, the cranks are too long, or both. Generally on road conversions its best to go with 165mm cranks... short by road standards I know, but that cornering clearance is crucial and spinners are winners! In other news, my CAAD9 came today. Fuck this money pit of a bike and fuck bikes in general. With that said, I'm starting base miles tomorrow on my CX bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PentiumOrange Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Got mine used from Craig's list. 50 bones. Frame is fine, seat and handle grips were trashed. It has after market crank, fork, rims, tires. So i can't complain...oh except for the fact that it doesn't have breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbish heap two Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 bridgestone. Damn euth, I love Bridgestone keirin machines but how about posting a regular ass driveside picture? Nice bike. Tip to anyone training around this time of the year: go get buy some vitamin D3! People doing road rides in the summer absorb plenty of it being in the sun for hours, but in the winter not so much, and low levels hurt endurance and make it easier to get sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count chocula Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 just finished up with a solid race clinic. did some real valuable drills involving bumping, moving up/around in the pack, and even saw some dude mash his grill into the pavement on some turning/suspension technique stuff. hopefully he didn't lose any teeth. it's time to work on my sprint.
