Picked up the tyres from downtown yesterday so it won't be long now
... during the journey i've noticed the bottom bracket start to get shifty
Just had it overhauled less than 6 months ago with new bearings/cages/spindle axle for winter
tempted to run 47/19 on ma 'ButtaLugs' seeing that it will be heavier than the current Daily
especially now that i intend to run the Spok full-time
might put the cf tt frame back on duty but hate running such high chain tension because the wishbone has a tendency to swivel under load when skidding or back pedal braking
Im hoping that running a shorter gear will help to extend the life of the bottom bracket by alleviating some of the torque
Ideas?
