As usual, we’ve been busy fixing bikes everyday. It seems like many people are preparing their bikes for spring. Let me show you the bikes we worked on.
\n\"\"
\n\ufffcThe first bike is the Surly Cross Check. The owner wanted to make it single-speed.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\ufffcI removed these sprocket and crankset.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe new hubs are Pil Wood<\/a> KISS-Off hub. The Pil Wood Keep It Single Speed Off-road hub is originally designed for single speed MTB, but now it is popular among fixed gear riders and single speed cyclocross riders. It is made of 6061 aluminum alloy, which provides high durability and solid looking.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nThe rims are Velocity A23. These are one of the most popular hubs in Blue Lug Hatagaya. The rim is capable of fitting 23mm – 35mm tire width, which is awesome.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe crankset is the Fairweather CX crankset<\/a>. Fairweather is Blue Lug\u2019s private brand and the crankset comes with the original brass caps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe also changed the brake levers. The TRP RRL SR alloy road brake levers are designed for single speed and match the classic styled bikes.\u00a0 \"\"
\nThis single-speed bike looks neat and very clean.\u00a0He said he will come to change a cog next time. I am looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe next bike is a Japanese custom bike called Pegasus from Jingane Bicycle Shop.
\n\"\"
\nA lady has been riding this bike for a long time and taking good care of it. Last time she came to the shop, I changed the handlebar and installed the Wald basket<\/a>. This time I changed the wheels.
\n\"\"
\nYou may have seen these hubs before. The Phil Wood Rivvy hubs are made exclusively for Rivendell cycles by Phil Wood. It is designed for 7 speed thread on freewheels.
\nFreewheels are more affordable than cassettes and it is stronger, which I believe. You don\u2019t need 11 speed, if you just ride around Tokyo, so this one is perfect for her bike.
\n\"\"
\nFinished!
\n\"\"
\nThe end cap is very long.
\n\"\"
\nThe hubs got oblong drill-outs on high flanges. So cool.
\n\"\"
\nThe rims are the vintage Velocity Aerohead.
\n\"\"
\nThe tires are Continental Getorskin<\/a>. The orange logo is a perfect match to the rim color.<\/p>\n
