If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I ride clip or clipless or wtf ever you call them 99% of the time. At times I will ride flats on a downhill bike depending on what type of riding it's going to be.
One thing I find difficult when I ride flats is that I never get my foot in the same or exact position. Maybe that's something I've just grown accustom to with spd pedals and I'm just out of my comfort zone... idk. I will say that with really good flat pedals and legit shoes made for flats (510s) it's nearly impossible to just slide and reposition.
TLDR? clips 4 lyfe.

Thinking about materials order for my single bike build.
what bottom bracket standard will stand the tales of time best in the future and have the best performance?
Threaded bottom bracket will probably last forever, but will any of the BB/PF bb types catch on for keeps?
Im thinking of running PF30 for the frame build, but im not familiar with which one is most common.

I wouldn't worry too much about which bottom bracket standard you go with. If this is a custom built frame, you could always ask the builder for a recommendation. Otherwise, I don't think the PF30/BB30 standard is going anywhere anytime soon.

I still have the clanking cassette, which makes me crazy. When I'm in the 18-tooth, the chain just barely climbs one of the flat teeth on the 17-tooth. If I adjust the RD inboard, it won't shift from the top. My old cassette, on the same wheel, with zero adjustment does not do this. I laid it down on a machinist-straight and it's pretty damn flat. What is wrong?

6800. I'll take a video when I get home. This stuff is not that hard, I'm almost certain it's a problem with the cassette. The chain should not climb the lower cog at all, right? The thin, sharp teeth pass just fine, but the one flat, square tooth always lifts the chain just a touch.
