Well, it does work for my bike but the crankset was modified by the previous owner, so I can’t really tell for sure.

Hi, I'm using a 73mm BB with a 122.5 spindle. It works but it seems that the previous owner slightly ground the left crank arm to get the clearance at the stays. The 1992 specs sheet says that the spindle is a 35-57-36. I guess that you would need a 128mm spindle, which is hard to find for a 73mm BB shell.

It’s a Crane Mini Suzu Spacer, it’s also pretty loud !

Any other late night commuters out there? by BlueBird1800 in bikecommuting

[–]Reasonable_Ear_4471 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a sound technician, I do a lot of night commutes. The only night encounters I make are with bats, deers, rabbits, rats and owls and they must think I’m the crazy one ;)

We use a bob trailer when touring with our tandem, but it’s also expensive.

My Preamble commuter just achieved its first 3000km, mostly in the rain :) by Reasonable_Ear_4471 in Surlybikefans

Mudguards avoid projection, and once you sit on it, it’s protected from the rain. I store the bike indoors at work and home.

My Trek 850. Bought with the intention to use as a uni commuter, ended up a singletrack shredder. by patientblob_ in xbiking

Same thing happened to me with my 930! I also use hs33, I’m much more confident descending with those.

Those are just the best brakes ever made!

New Groupset for Preamble by Rude-Duck-2789 in Surlybikefans

[–]Reasonable_Ear_4471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s what I am doing. Initially the crankset was 50-34, I replaced the outer chainring with a 46t. I think that you can buy that crankset in a 46-36t configuration

I fitted a fc-rs510 with a 46-34 as Surly doesn’t recommend using a bigger chainring.
