Barely used, this Roe Unlimited is light flex and still sports the amazing Roe/Insect heavy duty grip tape of ealrier days. The deck has no dents or scratches. It is being sadly neglected while I give all my attention to long distance pumping these days. I'm hoping for a new and loving home for this...

Go to your local bike shop and ask to see their box of chain link spacers. They will fit your axles and you’ll find them in a variety of sizes from 2-8mm. They’re perfect for what you’re looking for. Use them on the hanger side and use your speed rings on the nut side. They’re basically like a norm...

I have been thinking of a way to create a nonpermanent long straight line on which to place cones. A chalk line came to mind. They come in about 100 foot lengths. Anyone tried this? Any reason not to go this route? Would it be a problem for slalom wheels if they ran over this line?
