I think that bike is small enough to just use the Wald basket and it’s stock struts and it will still stay low enough. That’s what I do with mine and it works just fine.

The chain isn’t even a year old yet
Crankset came from eBay so who knows how many miles are on it

yeah those rings don’t look so hot to trot. how many miles do you put on a chain in a year? i’d say replacing both is in your near future

Not as many as I’d like. I have a spare chainring I’ll try swapping in first.

That ring is dead.
A kmc chain could easily die in a year.

> What did I do to my SO’s crosscheck today? Started converting her old race bike into a beater/casual/bar biek. Was strangely satisfying swapping out campy 10 for Altus 8 speed stuffs. What Wald basket does this need for purse schlepping and maybe an occasional sixer?
I have the road bike version of this bike. That is all.

Swapped chainring, chain is still slightly loose but a little better. I’ll replace the chain next

The first time you reef it up a hill in that little ring you are going to have a very bad time.
Also that Praxis ring looks like it could be well on it’s way to smoked too.

Neither of those rings looks great IMO

Noted, I’ll invest in new rings all around
Any recommendations or should I just go with a sram replacement?
this price seems decent

Cleaned up some old XT v-brake levers and put them on ol’ stumpy to free up the XTR levers on it for another bike for another day.

Shame the stumpy won’t be treated to a nice set of SRAM levers…

Replaced the bar tape on the curly bar bike and fiddled with the headset but it’s still being weird. I can’t seem to get the preload just right and riding no handed is tricky, I should probably just replace it but there are so many headset “standards” these days……

Those levers are the kind of part you build an entire bike around.

Yea, get the little one too.
And a sram chain.
Oh, wait. I know I got all this in the bike office…

Did a 50 mile ride on the Klein. Spent a lot of time at 7 mph. Also did gold sprints later
