Errrr.....
Hi everybody!
Spotted this Veloce groupset which I nabbed for a bike build project I've had on the go for a while. It's arrived today, so it's been Christmas in the Archie household.
I'm struggling to see what I've done wrong here: this looks an absolute steal, but there's a couple of things I want to run by you just guys to see if I've got everything expected. Bear in mind this is all new to me, so it's totally a learning experience! So forgive me if anything seems obvious.
First question, and the easiest, I can't find the lockring for the cassette. Should this be there, or with the freewheel (when I eventually buy it)?
Second, rather unexpectdely I've got an ultra-torque crankset/bottom bracket combination. I've already got a Mirage BB on the frame and was expecting the Veloce cranks to be compatible. Not a problem however, as looking at the kit it seems an excellent design (and I've already got Mirage cranks anyway if I don't fancy using them). Just a couple of things struck me however, after checking the instruction sheet and reading up on t'internet.
1. There doesn't seem to be a spring washer with the connecting bolt (there's a washer, no apparent spring).
2. There's no wave-washer to go between the cranks (fig. 12 on the instructions).
Anyone know if I need to go back to the vendor and query these omissions?
Cheers,
Archie
