The brisk pedalling was fun until i lost my top jockey wheel' date=' then was not so fun' date=' converted to a single speed and pedalled home.[/quote'']

"The Star of the South is shining brightly." Stern des Suden is FC Bayern's song. Into the semi-finals we go!!!

 

How did you do that?????? smiley3.gif Kieran, haven't you educated poor Hummy about SRAM Red yet? Poor guy is still using Crapagnolo. Hummy, just because Kid is your father doesn't mean he is always right!

 

I'm trying! I'm giving him head starts up hills and still catching him by the top. Showing its SUPREME climbing prowess! As well as grinding the pace in Intervals but he's not biting smiley19.gif

Well he has Crapagnolo, he can't do much! It even falls aparts. I wouldn't trust that. What happens if it is in a race? Way too unreliable and slow. Yes, it is great at climbing. Top three in Tour de France even.

Here we go again. Well I'm getting the octalink BB for my 105 groupset today, but cant remove the crank arm's. It looks as If you need a special tool/socket to push the crank off from the BB becausde their is thread on the inside of the crank arm. Any suggetion where I can get both tools-one to remove the crank and then the tool needed to remove to octalinkBB???HELP!!!!!

Tahchy. It seems as if your current cranks are a tapered square drive. You need to have a special tool to take the cranks off. 

 

If you are changing to an octlink BB, you will need to change your cranks too. Square drives and Octlimks kinda don't fit together.

Why would he make such an awful decision? Look at your Crapy? You break chains and bend this and that!
