But I rode all last year like that and it was okay.<br /><br />Having said that I think it'll be good to make them "right".Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-26305351769379799842011-02-02T11:33:04.540-05:002011-02-02T11:33:04.540-05:00I understand the rush to get the bike rideable, bu...I understand the rush to get the bike rideable, but I'd really face that shell a bit more if at all possible. I have a relatively new supersix and the bearings are very smooth. It probably doesn't matter that much for performance, but after all you've done to maximize your equipment for this season, it's hard to believe that you'd settle for such tight bearings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-64510861389125102012011-01-31T12:14:59.915-05:002011-01-31T12:14:59.915-05:00I spent some time looking for a BB30 facing tool. ...I spent some time looking for a BB30 facing tool. I remember one of the cycling sites said that at least one, if not two, were being released. But I couldn't find any, at least not as of now.<br /><br />Fork - I didn't know that. I typically get exposed to what I buy/use or what my friends buy/use. I mean, yeah, I see stuff and read about it, but to actually work on it, that's when you truly understand it. My last few forks have been Reynolds, with their expanding plug thing. The sleeve gives me confidence though.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-76456444686277477962011-01-31T10:51:07.730-05:002011-01-31T10:51:07.730-05:00That's how the alpha-q forks worked, the glued...That's how the alpha-q forks worked, the glued in insert. 3T must have taken over since, as far as I know, the AQ division of True Temper is gone.Marcusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-89686975502657757852011-01-31T10:17:11.524-05:002011-01-31T10:17:11.524-05:00Well this is interesting.

There must be tools available to framebuilders, since any metal frame gets welded and heat treated, and carbon frames are also baked.StevenCXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238613743890222089noreply@blogger.com
