Don't discount the White crank too easily. They are much better looking
than the pictures on their web site. The finish is a highly polished
black, not the matt black we associate with mt bike carbon cranks. I

Great pic.
If you lay a straight edge over the top of the chain you could measure the
static sag and provide a very good rule-of-thumb for setting up single
speeds. To be verified by the Park beer bottle opener test, of course!
From the photo it looks like about 1/4 - 3/8 inch?

There's a fine line between slack and super-taut that I consider optimal. I
mostly ride my single-speeds fixed-gear, and I find a loose chain unnerving
when I'm transitioning from forward pedaling to back-pressuring and back to
forward pedaling again. With a freewheel, I'd probably run a bit
There are tons of very cool 31.8 bars available now, which to me makes a

You managed to get a 32 on a Sugino Alpina? I thought the Alpina was 110mm
BCD, and as such only goes down to a 34 with Sugino rings and maybe to a 33
if you buy a TA ring. My recollection of the VO Suginos was that they were
all 48/34.

I listed a few $1 auctions on ebay. Included there is a NEW Sachs-Aris
8-speed freewheel body. If you are running 135mm Phil FW hub, this might

the cogs and the spacers for various 7-speed Aris freewheel projects.

I'm curious as well because 13-34 8speed is my preferred cassette, but
I have to make it myself. To the best of my knowledge, the only
readily available 8 speed with a 13 small cog is the 13-26. There is
a 12-32 from I believe Sunrace, and numerous options with 11t small
cogs from Shimano, SRAM,
One more option. If you like the White cranks but not the rings, then
check out the DaVinci Cranks. These are actually made by White, but are
designed much like the TA, with interchangeable spiders. You can buy the
crank and either 110 or 94 spider and put whatever rings you want. The
I just noticed that the DaVinci web site now shows the crank with black

I didn't see 94mm spiders on the DaVinci site. But you can go down to a
32T in 104mm BCD 4-arm, which was what the OP was about. I think it's
tricky finding 50T rings for 104mm, though. 104mm is a good option for a
48/32 double for sure.
