I just picked up a used vintage Windsor road bike that was converted to single speed.
Sadly since I am a pretty heavy rider and this is all older/used stuff, I have noticed a little bit of complaining from the cranks. I expected that.
I intend to keep riding it until there's actually an issue, but in the interim, how can I figure out what kind of BB/crankset I'll need? So I know what to look for if/when I need to replace it.
Also, while we're at it: Are there any good fixed gear/freewheel flip/flop wheelsets that people recommend? I'm looking for inexpensive but still decent quality. Also how can I figure out what kind of brakes my bike needs?
Thanks,
Mike
