    Enless Cogs

    they look really nice :cool: also it looks like that they have a quite a deep tooth profile and wide base however being made out of aluminium i would be concerned about the lifespan of them

    how do you measure effective top tube length? is that the measure from the top of the head tube back to the seat post where the line of measurement is parallel to the ground. ie does this correct for slanting top tube? thanks matt

    singleators?

    also you might be able to get good chain tension with a half-link, though i think they're pretty hard to get if you are running a 3/32 chain (spicer cycles sell them though). but by all means run a singleator, i've used one for about a year and a half without much problem. make sure you...

    26.8mm seatpost in a 26.6mm frame

    the frame is 7005 aluminium alloy. i'm pretty sure i know what you mean by a flex hone (its used on engine blocks). i wondering if it will just fit albeit a tight one, given that the difference in diameters is less than 1% of the overall seatpost diameter. i don't know how strict tolerances...

    26.8mm seatpost in a 26.6mm frame

    i was just wondering if anyone can give some advice about fitting a 26.8mm seatpost in a frame designed for a 26.6mm seatpost? the bike i have is a 2000 norco nitro and norco in their infinite wisdom decided that a 26.6mm seatpost would fit nicely. however except for axiom (norco's component...
