I'm going to take a shot in the dark since mechanics seem fine and vote for shoe rubbing crank arm. I had this problem with my work shoes, it eventually rubbed off most of the logo on my crank arm. I didn't even feel the shoe rub the crank and yet it was.

My guess is the chain. If there is a problem with a link, it will occur about every 2 revolutions.

the whole drivetrain is ancient, the chain is probably original 1987
It didn't occur to you that the chain might be the issue? Replace it.

Yeah, they don't come with bolts. Go to a hardware store and buy some.

I have some old 7600 DA cranks, research shows they need a 109mm BB... How bad is it to use a 110mm?

EDIT: Nvm, sources say to go with the 109 and use a 2mm spacer.

From what I've read, the 7600 are NJS, but work with an ISO BB? In that case will the 109mm Prototype work?

If they need a 109mm ISO BB, the Protype should work perfectly. I can look into it a bit more and get back to you.

I have no idea. Except for the rounded off top of the NDS arm, they look exactly the same.

The Rando Cross can be a little sluggish but you're most likely not looking for low rolling resistance anyway. If you do get them, you'll most likely never get a flat unless you run over a land mine (and then you'll have other troubles).

So, I bought a brand new 722TS frame off a dude in the summer but only just realized that the seat post collar didn't come with a bolt. Quick google search came up with nothing, so what size bolt should I grab? I assume I could just go to my LBS/hardware store and get a replacement right?

Thanks!

Go to a bike shop and buy a proper seatpost binder bolt.

19-22mm should do.

How do you measure for the correct length for that?

My beater has a QR binder, and I want to swap it out.
