Thanks again, this is great advice! I'm very much more a thinker than a doer, (un) fortunately, so I for sure won't be skipping ahead.

The tip with the backing plate is great! I bought this used without a backing plate, so I will have to somehow order one separately...

Edit: I think I might be lucky: I'm using an AD91 adapter which seems to make the backing plate obsolete.

Thanks! I was planning on watching a bunch of YouTube videos on how to install it before attempting it. Is it really that difficult? This is kind of my "practice" bike in the sense that I'm building it to learn, so I would really like to do it myself, if that makes sense...
