How long have you had the brakes on the bike? Sometimes, it just takes
several rides to break them in.
I’d also check the brakes themselves. Make sure there is no play.Opd v
brake arms could have too much play. The culprit could be the pad holders
as well.

I woke up this morning thinking about gear ratios -- crunching numbers on
BikeCalc and referencing the previous single-speeds I've enjoyed throughout
the years. Things of note about the 'uno:

Hi, I'm interested in getting a Rivendell in a year or so, but I wanted to
try some out in the meantime. Does anyone know of any places that have
readily available rivs (preferably Roadinis)? Where did you guys try them
out before purchasing?
I'm from Florida and the riv dealer near me doesn't
A proper toe-in setup often solves this problem. Sometimes a more
aggressive angle than you might be used to for the first couple rides may
help.

Finding a local Rivendell owner is a good idea, and you should definitely
try to pursue that. In 2024 it can be tricky to execute a Rivendell
Acquisition Plan a year in advance. If it's a year down the road because
you are saving up the money then my advice is to plan on being patient
twice.
Thanks for your input Hoch. The pads are several months on the bike, and
everything is solid as can be in the brake arms. The pads are very slightly
loose in the pad holders though.

Dick, I've heard some loose talk about maybe September, but to my knowledge
nothing has jelled yet. I'll try to touch base with the local planning
group and see what their thoughts are. If it's a go we'll get a notice up
on the Owners Bunch group site.

The OP anticipated a buying frenzy, but that clearly hasn't happened in
week 1 of the pre-sale. I hope that turns out to be a good thing, and
gives people the chance to really think about it and decide calmly rather
than panic-buying with a huge fear of missing out. Now that the real

Is there a site or youtube channel that explains crankset specs and
compatibility (like all about them and how they work with a drivetrain, and
frame). It's one part of the bike I really don't understand.
Reason I'm asking is that at some point, I would like to switch my black
GRX 2x crankset
The way I understand it, brake squeal happens when the pads grab the rim,
reach max coef of friction (after they slip forward microscopically in the
pad holder or due to brake arm play) then slip/spring back. The rapid, tiny
movements back and forth cause the noise.
I’m wondering if holder les

Short, centered pads are also helpful, like Kool-stop City pad, for
example. It's only 46mm long. I never thought making pads 73mm long and
offset was of any actual benefit. more of a nuisance really as they prevent
the arms from opening all the way as they're supposed to. A common argument

Jay, you might start with Sheldon Browns website. He offers several
discussions regarding all things crank. Here's a link to one:

The thing about cranks is that as simple as the basic mechanical concept
is, the variety of design approaches doe
I recommend understanding the concept of a chainline first since nearly all
the design choices and options you mention about cranks involve a builder
maintaining a target chainline. Here's a good write
