Hey Paul, I have a Billie Bar. It does have a bunch of scratches because I tried it with 7-8 stems before deciding that Boscos work better for me. If you have 52cm ALU Bosco, I'd be happy to trade (assuming the scratches won't bother you) Cheers, Ash On Sunday, 23 August 2020 at 08:21:56

Sorry I wasn't clear. Rivendell had kickstand plate failures with the double leg plescher back when their kickstand plates were much thinner than they are now. I doubt the current plates would have a problem. I just measured and the old plates are 0.9 to 1mm and the new plates are 3mm. Huge

You might want to let a bike shop dig into this unless you're committed to buying two types of BB tools and learning all about it. I'm big on the buying and learning, but it's not a small project for a first-timer and you're not even sure where the problem is yet. Could be a headache! Joe "ok

What Benz said. It may be from somewhere else - the pedals, or even the seat. However, a failure mode for Hollowtech is the bottom bracket creaking, and if you’re going to replace it, it is relatively easy. If you’re going to take the old one off and replace it with another BB51 (or SRAM

There is a sweet deal of a green Quickbeam on SF craigslist. The owner says it is a 58 but isn't certain. It should be 58cm center of BB to top of seat lug. Looks like it to me. I found this on my quest for a 56. Anyone want to size up from a 56 to a 58? Cheers Jason -- You received this

Thanks Benz. It's tough to tell exactly where the pops and creaks are coming from but it seems to happen only during hard pedaling and kind of feels like it's coming from the left (non-drive side) crank arm which is attached with hex bolts. The whole crankset has always annoyed me, mostly

Justin, I will suggest investigating what's causing the creaking and popping. Quite often, what appears to be from the crank may not actually be from the crank. Especially with an Xtracycle Free Radical conversion, there are more opportunities for creaks and pops. Unfortunately, troubleshooting

Okay thanks for the info. I'm not equipped or experienced with bottom bracket replacement which is why I was hoping to salvage what's already there and not have to remove and replace it. But maybe this is an opportunity for me to figure it out. Will need to invest in some tools I assume. On

Justin— To answer your last question first, no, that spindle won’t fit. Any way you look at it you would have to replace the entire bottom bracket. The crank creaking and popping is more than likely due to the bottom bracket itself. If you want the cheaper solution, just remove the crankset,

Yes, I can understand the mounting bolt or the kickstand legs, but not the plate. At least not the one on my Clem. I guess if the plate is not beefy enough it could be an issue. Definitely want to design it so that if anything, the kickstand itself fails before any deformation of the frame is
