Re: [RBW] Play in an unweighted pedal

Hi Patrick, Hows your Catalyst pedal? Is there an increase in play while unweighted? I understand that it would be annoying with some play and I hope mine will remain good since I really liked them. Ed On Fri, Apr 6, 2018 at 5:59 AM, Deacon Patrick wrote: > The axel has play

Tom: pressure front is 63psi and rear about 67 seems to be the sweet spot considering my weight. They seem nice and soft, but still hold up over the nasties, curbs and such. Clearance front in the Paul Racer Medium at the top is the tightest at 4mm. The arms are super wide. Wider than the fork

Patrick, geez, talk about bad luck ... and good luck (and smarts) for knowing how to do a good enough field repair to let you ride home. This makes me pause a little to rethink max tire width & min clearances. Admittedly, this is not a usual thing. But, for example, if you had stuffed a tire

I think I'll just start out with bar ends since I'm used to them, and get a feel for the bike in general first. I may switch the rear shifter, or both, to downtube later if I feel like changing it up. *Bill*, if you're super bored one day, could you measure the clearance you have on the sides
