It's more a point of aesthetics and nostalgia for me. When I started
seriously riding again in 2006 I bought a bike that came with brifters.
Loved 'em. When I built up my Hillborne in 2010 I installed bar end
shifters, mostly because my aunt had a 10 speed when I was a kid that had

I have Gran Cru on my Hillborne. It's a double. I had to use a 122mm
spindle and even then added a 2-3mm spacer to the drive side. It JUST
barely clears the derailleur. I think I rode it a while with a 118mm
spindle and the spacer. Made it work but the 122 is really better.

You probably know this but recheck the torque on the crank bolts after a
few hundred miles. The cranks seem to settle in after some riding. Probably
one of the reasons why most bike shops offer a free tune up after 30 days
on a new bike. Hope your mystery noise is gone!

about that discoloration. Obviously there was a crack for some time slowly

examined the crank on the left side very closely and (IMHO) it's in great

Were all the other parts of your drive train new when you did the

I'm still waiting for the day, and I think it will be soon, when you

I just converted an old set of tires to some DIY studded snow tires.

When I got my racks and the al fenders for my bike I spent a good week
messing with it before I got it to run quiet. Then after a few months
there suddenly came a rattle. It was one of the screws coming loose.
All the screws got a dose of Loctite after that. No problems for
