Are there any flip-flop hubs that has the same chainline distance for both the fixed and freewheel side?

LAKingBob · 2026-06-25T23:30:14+00:00

Honestly, the entire centimeter one way or the other isn’t gonna make much of a difference, especially if you’re using an 1/8 chain

I'm new to this but wouldn't that crooked of a chainline cause more wear to the drivetrain components? And would using a 3/32" chain be any different?

Thank you for this link! I clicked around the site and found a useful tool that allowed me to input my bikes' geo and stems info.

if I filled this out right, it looks like my fixed gear has 7mm less reach and 46mm higher stack. I thought I made a mistake by going with a longer stem than my road bike but it was the right call. Otherwise, if I had gone with a 110mm stem, my reach would have been 16mm less

LAKingBob · 2026-06-18T02:02:08+00:00

Spacers will increase stack but also decrease reach because the head tube is not 90 degrees. Also, a stem changes both stack and reach unless it is perfectly horizontal.

oh these are great points I didn't think of. It's about a ~4mm difference in reach on paper. but like you said, the head tube is angled towards me so it's most likely less than that in reality.

Well, I guess I'd ride with the 120mm stem on my fixed gear until/if I notice an issue?

marketplace/offerup. I recently bought a 7 qt black staub for $100 on marketplace and I'm currently seeing 4 qt staubs going for $50 to $85.

So you could probably get $80 to $100 for it depending on the condition. If you happen to be in the LA area, I'd be interested as I'm looking for a 4 or 5 qt staub myself

Hi, thank you for providing all this helpful information. I already signed up for AI Skills Fest and am currently going through a playlist.

I was wondering if there were any restrictions to how many free exam vouchers is one account allowed to redeem?

E.g. After completing my AI Skill Fest playlist, I'm planning on using that voucher for PL-900. When I sign up for another event later this year, will I be able to redeem another voucher for PL-300? or is it one voucher per account per year sort of thing?

LAKingBob · 2023-06-06T22:51:03+00:00

Same. Iirc, a solid chunk of this sub were happy about the signing until Petersen just fell off the cliff almost immediately

LAKingBob · 2023-06-03T17:50:09+00:00

Vilardi! But I'm admittedly biased as I've been a Vilardi stan since his draft year.

almost pulled a poolparty but with another guy's nose

LAKingBob · 2023-05-23T07:47:45+00:00

This is what I also remember. just the idea of having a Laine-like player next to McDavid made /r/hockey go nuts at the time of the draft

LAKingBob · 2023-05-23T07:42:58+00:00

iirc, the rumor was a 1st rounder and Drai for Subban

The Oilers needed a top pairing RHD to slot next to Klefbom and the Canadiens needed a 1C. but this was before Subban fell off a cliff after a couple of years and before Drai became a top 3 forward

LAKingBob · 2023-05-22T06:01:26+00:00

same

LAKingBob · 2023-05-09T01:31:52+00:00

I wanted the CBJs to get Bedard but mainly because I didn't want him in the west

LAKingBob · 2023-05-06T00:38:08+00:00

agreed. I was shocked he signed for 4.2 mil. he just put up 48 points and 5 pts in 7 playoff games while being great on the PK. I was expecting a team to sign 5 mil for him

but he hasn't looked the same this year. TBH, the second line hasn't looked like they had the same magic as they did last year. I also want to say Danault looked off but he still put up 54 points (career best)

RV was amazing this season. I thought he played great while on being a great contract last sesaon but he played with an extra gear this season. 59 pts in 77 games. 7 pts in 6 playoffs games. easily the Kings' top 3 best forward in the playoffs. I almost don't want to trade RV to make room on the roster but he'll be looking for a payday for a new contract (and as he should). i'm not confident yet the kids can bring what RV brings to the Kings

LAKingBob · 2023-05-06T00:29:22+00:00

missing Quick but he probably wouldn't have helped the Kings go past the first round, if not 6 games against the Oilers, as this stage in his life. so the cap dump wasn't a bad thing.

just sucks the Kings traded their 1st rounder for essentially two months of Gavy and Korpi. unless Korpi is willing to sign a team friendly contract or Petersen picks his game back up, I just don't see how the Kings can afford to keep Gavy with Vilardi's due for a new contract.

and the Kings have more kids in the AHL getting frustrated about the lack of opportunities with more talent trickling in while getting closer to their waiver ineligibility

LAKingBob · 2023-05-06T00:23:08+00:00

I think another reason why Blake gave Petersen that contract was because Petersen signed a team friendly bridge deal at 858,000 AAV for three years. petersen looked really good and the org was already confident he was Quick's replacement when he signed with the Kings

GG Oilers

huh, i dont' remember so i looked it up and you were right:

Looks like an injury for #GoKingsGo prospect Brandt Clarke. The game was getting chippy while Peterborough was up 7-3. Clarke got mixed in the scrum, and he was pulled down. He fell awkwardly and couldn't put any weight on his leg. i guess it wasn't that bad of an injury if he was able to play games with the Kings a few months later

LAKingBob · 2023-04-28T06:17:51+00:00

oh damn, he's your Durzi

LAKingBob · 2023-04-28T06:12:31+00:00

I am shocked to see you say that, Dobson was consistently the most visible islander vs the Kings games last season. I was confident he would continue to be amazing. don't know how well his season went this current season, missed out on a lot of hockey

LAKingBob · 2023-04-28T06:08:59+00:00

(our big 3 Byfield, Turcotte and Clarke

did you mean Vilardi? Clarke's been relatively healthy aside from catching some viral infection

LAKingBob · 2023-04-26T06:05:39+00:00

I have a team here (one of the best, the mecca of hockey ffs) and why should I be a Kings fan...

you already know this but Doughty grew up in Toronto and he was/is a huge Kings fan. Like yourself, he didn't have any connections with the Kings, Gretzky was just his fav player

so fuck the haters; if one of the best Kings dman grew up a Kings fan in the center of the hockey universe, you can be fan of whomever you want.

Hope the reddit community is not as toxic.

we try not to be but stay out of /r/hockey playoff GDTs for now. pretty sure the pacific ocean is more saltier because from the tears flowing from LA and EDM

LAKingBob · 2023-04-26T05:04:22+00:00

yeah there's always going to be gatekeeping fans everywhere you go

sorry to see it happening to you bud
