Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Probably for the best. Me and safety wire do not get along. Change the oil in a cessna in 5 mins. Safety wiring the oil filter to the frame takes me days……..

Thats not good for business.

I would think you'd want to start with a microdose, and work your way up to whatever might be the sweet spot.

I still don’t understand what’s going on with the cranks. Why is there so much space between the crank arms and bottom bracket? the front derailer doesn’t line up.

I measure the bottom bracket of the ritchey and they are almost the same size. couple mm different in width.
wrong bottom bracket
I know, thank you captain obvious! I believe that Frame is threaded, just by looking at it, and it's age. It should have external cups. But I don't know what the bottom bracket you have there, or what crankset that is.

Bottom bracket is correct. It would take a shimano octalink for ultegra 6800. The spindle doesn’t come out of the cups, So I can’t just change the spindle. The Spindle is too long, The Ritchey requires a longer spindle. I’m asking around today.


Oh something else that came up. I’ll try and get a picture of it.

So I picked up the microshift R9 braze on front derailer yesterday. Pretty straight forward on how to attach it. However, when I attached it, and I have the bolt tightened the derailer still moves around. It’s not secure to the braze on mount. I took a look at The Ritchey, and it’s identical (except for the R9 instead of shimano). Maybe I need an extra washer?
