Pre Cursa Build F@*k Knee Pain.

Posted on
  • SO... still recovering from knee pain 3 years on but building my new Steed. I'll add pics of the parts and then the complete build once ready.

    56cm Gun Metal Grey Pre Cursa Frameset (Alpina Carbon Fork and inline Seat Post)
    Sugino RD 2 - 165mm Cranks
    sugino sealed 103mm Bottom bracket
    TA Specialties - 49t Chainring (130BCD as all my spare chainrings are 13oBCD)
    Stronglight Steel chainring Bolts (no messing about rounding out Alloy bolts like before)
    Halo Aerotrack front Wheel
    Halo Aerotrack Double Fix G Rear Wheel
    Halo Fat foot/tooth HG Spline Cog 15, 17, 19, 20 (No messing about with Chainwhips and HG Spline Lockring head couldn't be easier also perfect chainline when needed)
    quite happy with a KMC Z510 Chain for now. Cheap and cheerful
    White/Black - Fizik Performance bar tape
    BMC RDB 3 - 42cm Road Handlebar - still undecided if I will stick with this or go back to track bars
    FSA Stem
    White selle San Marco ponza power saddle
    conti - innertubes
    Conti Gatorskin Hardshell
    Shimano R540 SPD SL

    Sadly need a front brake due to knee for now.
    Silver Goldfinger
    Shimano brake lever

    Anyway Excited to start back and get out there again slowly but better than the tube. Yay. Spinny gearing until knees feel stronger. I'll be the Caribbean guy getting dropped by grannies with baskets with a huge smile. As I made it out of the oblivion of "You'll never ride a fixed gear bike again" to slow but skinny.

    I'll take it happily.

    Stay tuned for the pics. One Love.
