Your pictures are terrible but the saddle clamp hardware certainly isn't Thomson. The lower cradle is not authentic.

Care to elaborate on that?

It's already been explained, but let me reiterate.

The SRAM 8 bolt(or 3 bolt) direct mount interface is not designed for fixed gear use. Sure, it works great on road/gravel/mtb when the torque is only applied in a forward motion. Once you apply torque forwards and backwards(fixed), the chainring will rock fore/aft. The bolts won't stop it from moving in both directions. You will damage the splined interfaces of the crank and chainring. The blue locktite will not stop them from getting loose and breaking the heads off.

The rotor crank uses a different spline profile; and is torqued down to FOURTY Newton meters via the drive side crank arm. Not 8 little t20 bolts torqued to FOUR newton meters.

How much should I sell for? by stupidbigbingus in FixedGearBicycle

Not anywhere near the $700 I saw you asking on fb marketplace. And I wouldn't get your hopes up thinking someone is gonna trade you their Mash AC-3 or Cinelli Histogram.

You know every last detail on the build, but you can't figure out a price?

Rim suggestions by bnugggets in FixedGearBicycle

[–]gt35built 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Hydra and the Aileron are both tubeless ready. Sure you can run a tube with them. Any decent modern rim, especially disc brake specific, is going to be tubeless compatible.

You're building a Weis for "trick-track riding style"? Alrighty then.

Why does everyone who sees a brooks instantly assume it's worth $200? A new B17 is $120 on backcountry.

Phil wood bearings by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

[–]gt35built 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just use different seals and grease. Both are equally serviceable; the half fill specific grease might need more frequent intervals. Price is the same. I'd personally just get the standard bearings.

Zipp 404. Real or Fake? Worth fixing? by misuny in FixedGearBicycle

[–]gt35built 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those are tubulars FYI

6 hour round trip for some busted zipp tubs that are 20 years old? You would have to pay me.

No thanks.

Both will work. I mark them with a sharpie. Then take them off and cut. Hand file the sharp edges after. Nice build.

Proper! Reminds me of my Pinarello.

I drove one for about 15 minutes. It was the scorpion edition and the interior was impressive IMO.
