Thanks for the prompt replies. I wondered about an errant chain, but I've never dragged one in that deep. Those sew-up wheels came with an '84 Trek 610 I bought that had sat in a barn for nearly 20...

I'm swapping out a sew up Wolber rim, replacing it with a CR-18 clincher on a mid-80s vintage campy record hub. When I pulled the Suntour freewheel, I noticed the outer-laced spokes were pinchd and...

It's pretty bad. I first thought it was the chain rings, so I swapped them out with the AT's, but the wobble was just as bad. I'm guessing the spider's too out-of-whack for tweaking but I may give it...

Thanks. No, you’re right - it makes sense that the left side clearance would be the same. Good idea on the coop for a used cartridge BB to try. Since the 127.5 is about 5 mm shy of allowing the FD to...

Sugino crankset difference, GP vs AT

I have an '85 Miata 610 and had a problem with the chainrings moving relative to the derailleur. I remounted that crank different ways and determined the Sugino GP spider must be bent. I have a nice...

Thanks for clarifying...

I thought the Crestas had cantilever brakes, but apparently not the earlier '82 (I recall an' 82 Miyata 610 I refurbed also had side-pulls)
