With the new bars, wrapped.
Today I set about seeing if I could slam the rear wheel further into the cutout (I can't without a half-link chain, which I don't really want) and when I came to retension the chain I realised how WAY off round the crankset is. It's terrible! I can have a totally tight chain at one part of the rotation, and on the other side I'll have an inch of play or something.
I'd been getting vibration as the wheel spins which I put down to a tight chain link. I rode it for a week to see if it went away - it hasn't. I think it's because of this, actually.
Next month I'm definitely going to switch out the crankset for something better and then consider this done, I think.
