I ask too many questions. Grant and Co. help me anyway. My LBS doesn’t do that. Nowhere else I’ve been for bike stuff does that. So I buy from them whenever I can (or from the secondary market here, which indirectly supports them, I think, but that’s a different kettle of wax. Grin.).
On my Quickbeam I’ve been puzzling out a series of creaks, chinks, binks, and shifts, all seeming to center the cranks, and happening in multiple layers but at least some of them always happening with each pedal stroke, mostly on the left. Because one layer of them was more with my climbing gear and I could see some shark toothing, I replaced both chain rings and the chain. One layer gone, remaining layer(s?) more apparent. Replaced the pedals (which do feel a bit wobbly on their axel, so I’ll rebuild), and another wee layer gone). But that last layer: how could I tell if it was cranks or BB? So I called Riv. After explaining my question, they asked me to hold. Grant pops on the phone! So I ask. “Try tightening the drive side cup.” Bingo. Rides smooth as butter again. Beautiful! Thanks, Grant!
