Why not get a bike that has no pedals, if you don't pedal?

The Maguras have a tiny set screw with an Allen head that does the job.

Just did that and voila! Issue solved.

I installed the Magura front brakes without installing the 203 mm rotor initially, as I wanted to see what the caliper itself added to braking. A little longer lever pull (could be the rotor thickness, I suppose, or a minor bleeding issue) but vastly improved braking. I will add the 203 mm rotor...

Hell. I say go for it to those to whom it calls. We all have our kinks.

Really enjoying this bike

I wear a Livall helmet with JBL speakers built in. Not loud enough for anyone else who's not right next to me, but perfect for listening to Jethro Tull, ELO and Yes on the way to work.

Working to get to that level of commuting. Right now, 2-3 times a week.

Hey-I resemble that remark!

No need to replace the BB at this time, but thanks.

That is why I selected the 52t over the stock 48. As for high end cranks, I don't consider the ones I'm looking at to be high end, but a needed improvement over the stock cast iron ones.

Yep, which is why I don't want to buy a crankset that doesn't carry about a 65 chainline. The mathing here throws me a bit, since the BB number would need to be reduced by half, but there's more to it, yes?

That is badass!

I haven't ordered a crankset yet, and I'd like to use something like these: https://bicyclewarehouse.com/products/big-city-single-speed-crank-170x52-118-sqr-jis-crankset-black?srsltid=AfmBOoorKSsViCJIyZxFFsDgbQaN8EmCS1bUpL4RK3GHB_CGv5oV5-Ta
