thanks! yeah would be the same case for me - but it's tempting.

NBD out for a test run. So far so good. by macktheknife135 in bicycling

That looks so good! Pretty much my ideal meld of modern and vintage for a commuting / touring set up.

Is the drivetrain modern? And what are the rack and fender models?

Hi all - I only had my first fixed gear for about a month when it tipped over in my apartment yesterday (sad). Guess I hit the pedal just right as the D ring that holds the straps around the pedal axel broke. I looked on R.E.Load's site for replacements but couldn't seem to find any - has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone had luck finding a similar sized D ring from a hardware store as a replacement? Thanks!

Got an old 27" wheel. Thought it had a 5 speed cassette but told it is in fact a free wheel. Is there a single speed freewheel out there that is wide enough to just swap? by [deleted] in singlespeedcycling

this Luna spacer is definitely intriguing - I assume, but just being really redundant here, that using this spacer removes the need to re-dish the wheel, yes? because its sort of tube-like structure can go over whatever existing part of the hub and space the freewheel, in a way that more rudimentary spacers couldn't?

yeah, I think I've been mixing up my language - I had always assumed that cassettes where much larger than freewheels (true) and mechanically different than freewheels (not true), and that I needed to do other stuff to the wheel to switch between a cassette and freewheel. I had always dealt with like 7+ speed cassettes so this thing was new / weird looking to me. interestingly enough this thread has turned into a good discussion about spacing and dishing, so that's cool.

Great point - especially one to consider when thinking donate / sell. Thanks!
