2 annoying mechanical issues on my Sam Hillborne: 1. Creaking - sometimes more, sometimes less, but dramatic enough to be easily heard by someone riding next to me. Tried so far - tightening chain ring bolts; cleaning, oiling and finaly replacing the chain; playing with FD trim until cross-eyed, check BB for play. Next steps - replace pedals, replace BB even though no play, ...? 2. Rear shifting - indexed bar end shifter was skipping my favorite cog (15T), so yesterday I replaced the cassette, thinking I had waited too long to replaced the chain a few weeks ago. Now it's skipping all over in indexed mode, both up and down. Tightening the cable (also recently replaced) didn't help either so I switched to friction, which is of course fine. I have nothing against friction, but I don't like it when things don't work. In this case I'm commuting in traffic with a 40-26 in front, so for this terrain it's essentially a 1X9 and I want indexing.
I don't have access to a Rivish LBS anymore, and no one I know around here has ever seen a bar end shifters. So it's just you guys.
