mks toe clips are pretty much the standard metal toe clips.

i think toshi doubles are the best doubles on the market.

nothing beats clipless

 

clipless ftw

 

Another for clipless.

 

Double straps are actually easier to get in and out of than singles and are wayyy more comfy. Doubled my confidence on the bike when I switched over to them. My All City's have been have been holding up really well too.

Clipless is the bee's knees though, I'm thinkin about getting into a set just for races.

 

My new build will be clipless. Thinking about going with LOOK Keos.

 

Here are my fixed gears, and I will throw in a pic of my SS mtb as well.

Guerciotti


Orbea


Uno, early build, currently getting rehauled


Specialized S-works, Full carbon SS

 

i like the uno pista and the orbea (minus the saddle )

 

Thanks, yea I know the saddle is an eye sorer, but its the most comfortable thing I own, I took the bike with me to key west, and the saddle I took turned out to be crap with out bike shorts, and I bought this one down there and havent turned back, and havent gotten a brooks yet so Im sticking with this one, cause my butt likes this one!!

 

yea if u are talking about the kashimax u have or aka the *** hatchet. i understand. i had one on my nagasawa =\

 

yes that seat was a pain, I sold that with a bunch of parts already, now Im selling the frameset, or trade it with my car for a different car, I dont ever ride it, so I dont need it anymore...

 

New bike:



Thanks Terrence and Ronnie, for the pics.(not on HT)

 

^^ prettty cleeeean! obligatory you need bar ends / grips.

 

I wear gloves and working on getting some caps. TY

 

nathan what stem are you running?

brand?
length?
I asked this at SF fixed. Don;t know if you saw it.

 

oh sorry man, i'm hardly on sffixed anymore but....

if u are talking about the FTP then it's a deda newton pista stem , 90mm, with deda pista bars. 31.7 mm clamp dia and -23 deg drop. i wanted a negative rise stem and it's one of the only ones out there that i like . i bought the stem+bar combo off fixed.gr/nyc for like 95$ shipped used w/deda barwrap

im hardly in the drops when i'm riding my loops because it's pretty intense, but i like it for what it is!

 

crappy cell phone pic, thought I would share since I'm usually just lurking around.

 

Thanks for the information. I really like your Fuji Track bike. I currently have the Thomson Elite X2 stem, same length as yours, 90mm. Aluminum made.

 

thanks man!

thomson elite x2 is nice , IRC does it have a zero slope? it's not negative is it?

 

it's 10 degree positive or negative.

I'll post pics of my bike later.

 

word

 

I'm thinking about getting the B43 rims, how much do they weigh? Anyone know?

 

i have b43s and they arn't exactly light, but then again...what can u expect with a 43mm rim constructed from alloy

edit: president, do u keep ur saddle angle that steep or was it just for the picture?

 

I ride my saddle like that. So it doesn't hurt my *****. Those are my stock rims, 40mm in depth, took those stickers off too.

640 grams a rim, is that considered heavy?

Nathan, how much does your carbon HED3 rim weigh?

 

i can't recalled exactly but the last time i weighed my wheelsets was last year

saavedra turbo rims laced to 36 sansin hubs - 1850ish grams
deep Vs laced to 36h da7600 hubs - 2050 grams (eek)
hed3 with track axle - 875ish i believe


i ask about your saddle angle (and i know that personal preference takes precedence) , but i find that when a saddle is level, it reduces the pain on your taint and also reduces alot of the pressure off your hands. I've had saddle pointed up ever so slightly and it's hurt my lower half over long rides, i've had saddles pointed down ever so slightly and my wrists/arms hurt. obviously it's up to you, but it's just my .02
