Rode it last night. Something is creaking. I think I need to re-grease and tighten the bottom bracket, but I don’t have the tools for that, I’ll take it to my friends bike shop on Friday and do that. The brakes are still really spongy. I’ll play around with the pads and the spacers and see if I can get them better. The front rack gets in the way to tighten the cable, which is a bit annoying. I also think I need more of a setback seat post as well.
Other than that it rode really well. I’m glad I didn’t go smaller on the chainring either. 44t with 11-42 will give me a good commuting range.
Photos to come tomorrow!
EDIT: Brakes fixed by swapping the spacers around in the front. I feel like I have some stopping power now.
