My Surly was making a clicking form of noise with each pedal stroke which compelled me to search out the supply of the noise. Suspecting the underside bracket I found there was just a little little bit of side-to-side play, so it was time for a brand new backside bracket. I knew I needed to attempt to save just a little further weight with a brand new bracket, so this led me to Omni Racer. I made a decision to go together with the cromo model vs the titanium because it nonetheless saved me about 82 grams over the outdated bracket. On high of saving some grams this half can be made within the USA which I all the time like. It’s an ideal wanting half, take a look:
