All, How about $20 for the Shimano 550 canti brakes if anyone wants to buy them. I'll give that money to Riv for a set of new Tektro 720's. - Mike On Monday, May 16, 2016 at 11:46:40 AM UTC-5, Mike K. wrote: > > I have a good set of Shimano BR R-550's that I purchased from another &g

Another possibility: I am using some old Suntour stem-mounted shifters. Is it possible they aren't able to pull enough cable to get the derailleur out where it needs to go? If I traded them out for newer shifters could that make a difference? I don't plan on holding on to this bike for long, so

Yeah. It's an MT60 front derailleur. I can manually push it out far enough to center over the outer ring. When the chain is on the inner ring, I have to adjust the derailleur screw quite a bit and the chain almost rubs the cage as though I need to push the derailleur further from the seat

Tried measuring a few extra times. Looks to be a little more than 1/4". So it seems there's some room to bring the crank closer. On Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 9:40:28 PM UTC-5, Mike K. wrote: > > Best I can measure with a tape is 1/4" or between 6 and 6.5mm > -- You re

Got a few parts that need a new home. 1. SR Apex Triple Crankset. Square Taper. 170mm arms, 30-44-48 rings. Good shape. Great touring triple. Been on a few of my bikes over the years, but I'd be amazed if there's over 1,000 miles on it. Only used for commuting, no regular, long rides. - $55
