The frame is nice, it has two small kinks, one in each chain tube. If you were going to do a proper build it would need to be repaired. I think it's perfect for a single and you priced it well, thanks. I took off the large chain ring and moved the smaller one to the front, it's a 42 T, with a 15 T and 25's it should be 74.1 gear inches. That may take a bit of work on the hills but the bike is light so I think it will be ok, thats about 20 mph at 90 cadence. If it's tough I'll just bump it up to a 16 T and go from there.

Karl, Heat. What is the math that gets the gear calculations? My miles were a slog but I did them.

Correct sir. If you are in the area I'd be glad to re-jigger than for you.
Recap - Bottom of levers should be even with bottom of bars. That's how all drop handlebars are designed until very recently. Quote:

Too Tall - Thanks. At some point when I get through this initial slog, I want to get with you and check my set-up.

So .... been putting some miles on this and it turns out I have a bit of pre-load loss in the wheel bearings - noticeable tic when I move them side to side. These are seal-bearings so what is the proper way to adjust them?. I adjusted them so that they is "just no tick side to side when clamped on the bike. Correct? or should they be tigher? Is a very small bit of side to side tick OK?

Thanks -That was my thinking. I got tried of the basement rides and been heading out doors.
Thanks Too Tall and VG for reco on PW County Forest - Neat riding and I am sure the out of the seat climbs in 90 - 95 degree weather will be good training for the hot weather DEs to come. Even P/R'd the 11.6 mile ride today by 3 minutes (mostly due to the cooler weather but I will take it). Might start looking for a century in the fall. Still in the witness protection plan for riding - protect myself from witnesses. |
