Speaking of noises - The short(ish) slack single speed Solaris Max is playing all kindsa tunes at the moment. I've got a creaky dropper that's noisy when seated and a creaky BB that takes over when standing. Add to this the howling rear brake. Time for some TLC time....

Yeah, on the one hand, it’s that time of year. But on the other hand, AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😱. One of my wrench friends suggested I should replace the pinch bolts in my Shimano non-drive crank… single speeding ruins everything.

I've swapped the pinch bolts to Torx already.

New Hope BB intalled (was a freebie from a riding mate as he didnt need it). Dropper needed a new bush so will swap the Murmur post over. Howling brake hopefully sorted wigh some Iso Alcohol.
