Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Build - Wish Me Luck!

I have never bothered chasing the bottom bracket threads and haven’t had any issues. I think if they’re well greased and you don’t have a lot of resistance, I don’t see a problem. The counter argument is that it’s cheap and easy to do so you might as well do it right. On Sat, Jan 21, 2023 at 11:01

Re: [RBW] Re: Sam Build - Wish Me Luck!

Very nice. I’m not familiar with that model rear derailleur. It may have a different pull ratio than the 9 speed road shifters. Assuming that your limit screws are set up properly it may just be an issue with cable tension. It’s probably not a b screw issue if you can shift it smoothly with frictio

Yes! I would absolutely take a free bandana for funzies. Since you haven’t started the build yet, you might consider some Frame Saver. Especially if you’re anywhere near the sea (my Florida geography is quite limited but I think I see the ocean). It used to be owned by JP Weigle and is now sold un

I’ll play this game. None of those boxes are shaped like a square taper bottom bracket box. Good luck! Reach out for help as needed. It’s much less intimidating than it looks. Park tools has some excellent videos. Make sure you have some good grease and cable cutters. Also feel free to watch the m
