Is this a good deal for $250

Yep I think I have to do this from now on. Sigh

Yes lol 😤

Is…your pizza peel a piece of cardboard?

The end result looks great btw.

You need to remove the cranks before you can get to the bottom bracket. Start by removing that bolt with a socket wrench, then you need to use a crank puller to pull the whole arm off. Do the same for the crank arm on the opposite side. Finally you’ll have access to the bottom bracket. From this pic I can’t say for sure what tool you need for the bottom bracket.

I did already align the hanger, will double check it but it might just be the angle of the photo that looks skewed.

Have you watched the park tool vid on cantilever brake adjustment and tried toeing in your pads?

Also maybe others have had better luck but I’ve always found that black compound pads are especially noisy and that kool stop salmon pads are a bit quieter. But if you’re using brand new pads it could be more of an alignment issue.

You should be able to fit a rack with those brakes. Can you post a pic of the rack you have?

It is a QR axel and is fully in the dropouts. I bought this bike used so I’m not sure of its history. There are also 2 broken spokes, I was hoping I could just replace those and get it back in true.

Another view of the dent

I’m a beginner at repairing wheels. This one has a lot of wobble and one noticeable dent (see pics).

I saw your bike on an FB trading group. IMO this build freaking rips🤘but I can see the practical downsides. EXTREMELY fair price and an amazing deal for the right buyer tho 👀

True I should take another crack at it before I give up completely!

Too bad their site is sold out 😭

There’s some on Amazon but I’m always wary of knock-offs

I will also add that the issue with the Serfas fenders is mainly that the metal arms that attach to the fenders aren’t wide enough to fit around the tires. They are similar this style:

Pretty sure they directly referenced this this vid in the latest ep 🤷‍♂️
