I can get the Sram PC-1 or KMC S-1 Chains for dirt cheap, but I'm worried they may not perform to the level that is needed for actual Track racing. Does anyone have any experiences with either of these chains on the track, and what chain recommendations are there for somewhat budget chains
TPU tubes are tempting since you can pick them up for very cheap on aliexpress, but I'm not sure if they are rated for the pressure/forces of track cycling. Any thoughts?
I'm in the process of building up a track bike, and I'm considering building up this BXT 045 Track Bike. My only question/ concern with it is that it looks like the seat post clamps are round, and only compatible with circular aluminum saddle rails - not the ovalized rails of carbon saddles. Can anyone who owns this particular bike confirm or deny whether this is true, or if it comes with a clamp that can be used with carbon rails?
