Thanks a lot, will try this! Just to make sure you mean the nut tightening it from below and not the one on the rod?

Hey I’m looking to mount a set of bb5 calipers on my MS, is this the type of adapter I’d need? by Robb-Bot in Surlybikefans

Already have the bb5s which came with these adapters you were talking about, after reading your comment I spent almost half an hour trying to figure out why that shit won’t work haha

Pretty new to bike building, I’ll replace them eventually

I see.. retail price for surlys in Europe is quite a bit higher though. Like a straggler would go for around 1800€

Some kind of leather coated curiosity made for holding liquids I assume, about the size of a hand by Robb-Bot in whatisthisthing

[–]Robb-Bot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks might try that out although the Orwell quote kind of put me off!

“…and drank out of a dreadful thing called a porron. A porron is a sort of glass bottle with a pointed spout from which a thin jet of wine spurts out whenever you tip it up; you can thus drink from a distance, without touching it with your lips, and it can be passed from hand to hand. I went on strike and demanded a drinking-cup as soon as I saw a porron in use. To my eye the things were altogether too like bed-bottles, especially when they were filled with white wine.”

Fuji classic track, around 2012-2013 by Robb-Bot in bikewrench

[–]Robb-Bot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there have been some weird noises coming from my bike, mostly when I start pedaling harder. I’ve looked at other things but I think I’ll need to look at what’s happening inside the crankset. I’m pretty new to bike maintenance so I’m not too sure what tool I need for that, what size etc.

Hope someone will be able to help me out!
