I consider it common sense to protect your frame with tape and innertube when clamping to a painted tube. But you're right, clamping anything risks paint damage. Maybe that's why I don't mind used, pre-scratched bikes! On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 7:04 AM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > On 10/07/2014 07:

Among the advantages of running the S3X fixed hub with a freewheel is that it doesn't make any noise while you're pedaling (because there are no pawls inside the hub). I believe (don't have anything other than my personal experience) that the hub is also more durable than a standard 3-speed IG

The SON Deluxe weighs 390 grams. Significant weight savings? A Shimano 105 HB-5700 front hub, for example, weighs 210 grams. A pound is 453 grams. I'm not sure I could agree that 180 grams qualifies as a significant weight savings. On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 6:21 PM, Jack K wrote: > Hey Andrew,
