KM4RT Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 He caused the crash I think, saw some footage this morning. Looked like he went of his line. Sucks for Haussler, he was just coming back from all the problems he's had this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 i bet you anything it was an internal hug 3 speed. those things are everywhere down here (probly cus we actually have a beach) but those are a pain in the ass to work on, and heavy yeah it was. i only pulled it apart once because it was a pain to get to. that bike was fun for biking under the influence. other times i didn't really enjoy it too much.

gitmosteez Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 does anyone know about FSA gossamer cranks and the compatibility the outboard bottom bracket has with different manufacturers? i've been looking for the FSA megaexo BB all around town(PDX) and want to know if i should just be looking for a compatible BB. the spindle is 24mm. would a SRAM or dura ace outboard work? or does someone have one that is slightly used (no ovalization of the bearing or busted bearings)? PM me with any information or anything. not very keen on the whole outboard BB setup on a fixed but i take what i can get. ceramic would be nice but with the stress of distance rides and city riding, plus the cost,.. i'm debating about hooking the whip up with a bmx drive train. ANY INFORMATION HELPS. ^about the 1x9: is that 1 chainring with 9 cogs in back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 1X9 part, yes, one in front 9 in back the other part, i have no clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANY INFORMATION HELPS. ^about the 1x9: is that 1 chainring with 9 cogs in back? Gossamers came stock on my CX bike. The FSA BB that comes with them is the weak point - not that great durability wise. If you want to go baller, you can run a Chris King bottom bracket. I think Shimano may work too? But really, if you're doing external BB on your fixed gear, either get SRAM Omnium's (baller) or SRAM S300's (budget) and the corresponding SRAM GXP BB. I can vouch that the Omnium's are certified stiff as fuck, although the BB isn't as smooth as it could be. But hey, like they say, you gotta pay to play... with Chris King. Joker, are you back to racing again? I didn't see you out the last two days, Tabor and PIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitmosteez Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 ^thanks rubbish. yeah, chris king is definitely the ultimate goal. i've been looking into racing track recently. i plan on making it out on a wednesday to learn the etiquette of the velodrome. riding the fog line on the road while mashing just isn't cutting it anymore; neither is running a weak 46-17. too quick to spinout.

rubbish heap two Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Try out 49/16 for a beginner gear. I'd cough up cash for the Omniums as well, and shop around online for the best deal. I got them + BB for like 175 shipped a few years back. Cranks are a great thing to invest in... they'll outlast any frame you have. Hell, get in an accident and the cranks are rarely even scuffed, even when other shit is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitmosteez Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 i had a buddy get his fork and front rim ran over the other month [and his wrist] and he just got it repaired a couple of weeks ago... then he ruined his rear wheel. i just need something to hold me over until i can upgrade the cranks. if i knew how to change the bearings i would just invest in a couple of bearings to swap out. having to buy a new external BB seems wasteful, especially when [for me] the bearings wear out so quick. just finished truing my wheels and can't wait to ride again. ^49-16? and then increase as the season progresses? word.

Lew Blum Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 That bike is odd. Is it 700 or 26? It looks like somewhat of an attempt at a fix-trick type bike. 3 peice bmx crank seems overkill for a commuter, and dual pivot brakes seem a bit weak for tricks/single track/etc. 500 dosent buy what it used to, even 4 years ago, but thats not bad for that type setup. Fuck that seatpost though, i hate those. A cheap kalloy post will give you more adjustment and be lighter and more dependable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 yeah the seatpost, seat, stem would all have to go as soon as i bought it. it just doesnt have the finesse factor most fixies do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
