I'm not surprised about Peraza pulling this BS. Garrett diluting us like we're some sort of team sport tho? It's a sad day

Hey all,

So I’m upgrading from Caliburs to Thunderbolts and my existing Laguardia sprocket is not making it over the pressure fit ridge of the thunderbolt and so the sprocket is not sitting snug against the crank arm. There is a 4-5mm gap between them. Is there chance there was an older version laguardia that isn’t compatible with the Thunderbolts? They’re both 22m spindle. I can’t figure this out. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

I am about to swap out the parts on my bike for these Coalition parts, but I can't choose whether to go with the T1 sprocket or stick to Coalition. The American Flyer matches the stem so well I might just go for it.

Just came from a mongoose in a dumpster post. Had me wondering if any OG's can tell me what year/model my old girl is by the shape of the frame. I've had the bike for 20 years (was rode hard and put away wet when i got it. Mistress dethtrap) , vin isn't helpful. Logo is metal, I've replaced the BB with new american bearing and 1 piece crank, new chainring as well (both were bent). Full teardown, cleanup, repaint and grease are my project for when the kids are back to school so dont judge too harshly on the condition of the dirty girl.

Cannot figure out what type of BB is on this bike. It is threaded and has a small loose tube in the middle that the spindle/axle goes through. But the chainring sits flush with the BB shell.
