As it turns out, when I gave a list of things that could be wrong in my post on my BikeFriday problems:
1. The new brake was wider
2. The crank had bent slight in
3. The crank was mispositioned slightly on the bottom bracket
4. I’m an idiot
5. Something else
The correct answer was behind door number five, “Something else.”
The good news is that it’s all going to be fixed in a couple of weeks when I get some new parts in. The bad news is, well… it’s going to be a couple of weeks. I pull put out a full report when things are back to normal.
My Quickbeam is happy though as it’s back to being my ‘bike of choice’ on a daily basis. It’s been an interesting transition after a couple of months with gears to going back to the single speed. I love not thinking about gears, but getting used to hills without thinking about gears is somewhat tougher.
