Surly
Surly Steamroller single speed
Components and prices from my urban bike assembled in August 2010
Not included in the list: brake cables
[1] Ordered from: bike-mailorder.de
[2] Bike+/Cane Creek replaced 2011-05-10 (indented bearings)
[3] Spyral replaced 2012-03-01 (ball retainer doesn't fit, headset is always loose)
I disassembled the bike after more than 2 years of continuous use (5000 km max). I encountered the following problems:
- The seatpost is stuck in the frame due to corrosion.
- The pedals were stuck in the crank arms due to the same reason. When trying to remove them, I had to use a lot of force. The pedal threads damaged the crank arm, bringing some of the aluminium with them. Result = crank arms are now garbage. :(
- The chainring bolts cannot be loosened due to rust.
