I’m going to try and rip my TK SB1 for this, can anyone help with a decent setup? Right now I have the axle double wrapped with no pads or anything. Is that ideal or is there a better way to go?

All you can do extra is add a turbo disc to at least one side in the inner face. Otherwise your all set up in a stock setup.

For an sb1 I use single wrap 6 count cotton string. A drop of thin lube on the axle will help as well. If you need a wider gap you can shim the axle with card stock between the wooden sleeve and metal halves.

I don’t on an sb1, the gap is already super thin I don’t need it more responsive. Just adjust the string tension based on what you need. I do see the advantages for stuff that uses sidewall friction since the sb1 doesn’t have the resistance that wood would have.

Warming up, rediscovering fixie. Did they change something on these butterflies in recent years? They’re little rippers!

Not the same plastic though, feels a bit more brittle.
