an 80 mile day to do the weekly Beat the Train ride
still getting used to the more upright position. Bike rides great though.
stock build comments
- something started kinda knocking. I thought maybe I got grit in the freewheel. I cleaned it and the noise was still there. I’ve pulled the cranks and bottom bracket and greased things. No test ride yet.
- The seatpost has been slipping into the frame. The build sheet states 10Nm for the seat binder. I had to go way over that. And add carbon paste. The stock post is a Kalloy one bolt deal. Not the Kalloy Uno- which I kinda like. I’ve ordered a NITTO that I like.
- the brake levers have some kind of self adjusting set screw. It looks like they reduce the required amount of pull. Not sure. I backed them out and added blue loctite.
some pics here- since I’ve not been able to create an album for a couple days in BikeForums
