>>1751813The wheels I have currently seem to be ok but yes, they need to be true because as I've said the back has a small but noticeable curve.
>32 issueIt doesn't rub but it's pretty close like a couple mm tops.
See I had no idea removing the derailleur would be an issue, I looked at it and a single ring and no derailleur looked so much cleaner that I didn't think twice... it's all there in the corner so I can easily assemble it back if issues like chain popping off regularly happen.
>>1751815How does that happen? Isn't the lever essentially doing the same motion by pulling the cable?
Currently the bike has shimano 600 breaks and I really want to change the levers because they feel totally foreign to me riding a road bicycle for the first time.
That said if I can adapt and have the current breaks stopping well without needing to pull the lever against the bar I may keep them.
