Giant Peloton SS

[Bark clark]

Sorry I've been fairly busy and I've not had much time for the bike. I ordered some bar end brake levers today though to get the bike to a running standard. Think I'll order a 15t fixed cog too!

Received my Cane Creek 200tt brake levers today!

The new lever's look good can you reach them !!

 

[Bark clark]

Yeah I can reach them haha. Surprisingly they are a very comfortable positioning

Great looking bike, nice project! I had a Giant Peloton a while back set up single speed . 43/17 fitted perfectly for around 68 inch.

Cool! I'm keeping 39 on the front as that's what's already on it haha. Currently set up as 39x17 60gi but I have just ordered a 15t fixed to make it 68-69gi just like yours was.



Had a quick rough set up to see how the front brake line would set up. Theyll get changed anyways as ive ordered new brake lines, along with my new fixed cog and some handlebar tape.

If you take the big ring off, try a chainguard like this

from Spa Cycles. They do one that suits a 39T inner. I put one on mine, it looks sleek and keeps her trews out of the oily bits.

Or even yer trews, ##**## autocorrect!

Cheers for the info!! Seems like a great idea! Would that just bolt in and replace the outer chainring?

Yes exactly that - slides on over the crank arm, use the same bolts that held the big ring in place and away you go. Just make sure you measure the bolt holes for bolt circle diameter (BCD). Easiest way is to measure from one bolt centre to the centre of the crank spindle (radius of the circle) and then double it. Its usually 130mm for road cranksets but it pays to make sure.

Awesome! I'm pretty sure it's 130mm but I've only checked it once and as you says it's best to double check! Cheers!

Looking for barrel adjusters for my brakes at the caliper end. Can only find 6mm or 10mm ones. My ones seem to measure up at 8-9mm. Any ideas?
