I was thinking we could start a thread where those of us with less bike knowledge (me) ask for advice from people with more bike knowledge. I have a creamroller with a tire clearance of up to 700 x 38mm. I am looking at these rims as I want something beefier for bike polo: www.jensonusa.com/store/product/RI308D03-Sun+Rhyno+Lite+Rims.aspxI have been trying to research this, but am semi confused. Will I have enough clearance for these rims? |

i don't see a size for these rims. I would be looking at the 700c, I am having trouble finding what the inner width is, is that the size you need? |

If you get the 700c rim, it will fit a 38 mm tire. Your surly creamroller fits up to a 38 mm tire.

this is the diameter of a regular road wheel. the 27.5 mm is the outside width of the rim. its a fatass rim, so 38 mm tires would fit it, as long as they are also 700c. |

I've been looking at changing the crank set that came with the Mercier Kilo TT. I have found a few crank sets from Sugino and other sets, but it crossed my mind to buy piece by piece to build one. Also, I'm not too savvy on how many mm I should get.

I assume your other cranksets are old square taper road doubles? Look for a 107mm jis bb

Actually, the old crank set on my first build is far different from modern equipment. It is a 2 piece set with a cotter pin and large bracket.
I am 5'8" 1/2' - 5'9".

Really? The cranks that came with the bike should be 165 mm, but I'll search for some 175 mm crank sets. |

170mm is standard. I wouldn't run a 175 length on my fixed gear
