Crank Brothers Speed Tire Lever Review

Crank Brothers Speed Tire Lever
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This tool makes easier work of even the most difficult to install bike tires. I recently installed some Continental 4000 clinchers (700C), and read in a couple online forums that these were notoriously difficult tires to stretch onto the wheels. I don't know if I would have been able to get them on without this Crank Brothers Speed Lever. I may have gotten them on with another tool, but with much greater risk to damaging very expensive rims. This tool is simple to use, and makes most tire removal and install issues a snap.

Sugino Single Speed 165mm Road 48t 3/32" 130mm alloy Review

This is a very good chainset, rigid (esp with 1/8 chainring), beautifully finished and not so expensive. Not much to write: solid piece of bicycle hardware.
The only problem is, that it is often advertised as track chainset and is expected to have 42mm chain line. It is not true! I heard it was a case for Sugino RD but it is not for available nowadays RD2. I have two RD2, one with 103mm tange bb, gives me approx. 44-45 chain line (acceptable), the other one (newer) with 103mm sugino bb gives me 46-47mm chain line (perfect for bolt on cog on front shimano disc hub, but fail if you need 42mm). I didn't try to find out if the chain line difference is because of bb or cranks. I moved the chainring to be inside and added 2mm spacers for my BB, now I have perfect chain line.
Sugino website states correctly that the chain line is 45mm.
Overall, it would be 5 star if the chain line is 42mm.
