back on topic…
get a syringe or 2 and fill em with your favorite grease not only do you now have a home make grease gun for repacking your speedplay pedals you use less and make less mess…
i have a 5ml and a 3ml with phil grease ( some times the small one is better than the bigger one ) and a 3ml full of Ti prep…
Why is that?
cheap, poorly made hubs laced to heavy rims. hubs are easy to strip the thread off, and the bearings disintegrate after a while
Dam i was going to buy a set of these, i got a old frame and i want to do it up but i don’t know where to get a flip flop wheel from, these were the only ones i could find that were not gonna cost me a fortune.
try this out for size: DEEP V FIXIE/SINGLESPEED WHEELS, SEALED BEARING HUBS (eBay item 180622142737 end time 16-Feb-11 20:33:13 AEDST) : Sport
formula sealed bearing hubs, so they should be buttery smooth
Bsan - flip flop is a farce. A freewheel will run perfectly fine on a fixed thread. You’d have to have a crap load of torque to strip it forwards.
Buy a set of alex g6000’s or the ones posted above. Both decent, though the bearings on the listing above would probably be a lot smoother, but repack the g6000’s with some grease and youll be set.
great i will look into them, i just messaged and asked how much postage was.
How much generally do lock rings and the cogs and stuff cost, i see those alex rims don’t come with them?
your lock ring and cog can be as cheap as $15.00 each for a basic one or up to $55.00 each for something like miche, surly, campag (really nice quality stuff) and your freewheel your looking at $19.00 for a basic one to $50.00 for a ACS or shimano or $150.00 for a phil wood sealed one
Left hand pedal has left hand thread
Thanks. I have been really bothered by that four word post made in September. Someone had to say something.
Are their bikes any good to start out on?
whose bikes? those are wheels.
I think he means one like this from that seller, he has a whole bunch similar

They sell bikes complete also - see other items

just got a Vader from Bike Bandits…
Happy Days
I prefer not wearing one. 
Its more comfortable.
Unless the aerospoke has spacers on it already you cant do it because the size of the rear hub is bigger than your frame. You could cold set your frame but i predict that would be expensive. It would work alot nicer if you just got a 120mm rear aerospoke.
Regular track 'spoks should fit in a Masi. I have no idea why the 'spok would be 130mm, unless its a road wheel and then it’d be pointless because you couldn’t redish it to track.
just chained my cog to surly 18t. every time i try skid now my cranks feel like there ‘jumping’ i don’t know if its my cranks or cog or chain. anyone got an idea? thanks
Both the chain and cog, possibly.
Make sure that after you take it for its first ride you tighten the lockring again. The cog would have tightened while riding there for ethered be some slack in the lockring.
Also make sure your chain is nice ‘n’ tight.
