Still working on the bike, and have a few questions for the CP community.
1) Where to buy some cheap brake levers for linear brakes? I thought I would use my old Shimano ones, but they have some extra hardware on them for accepting the trigger shifters and because of that, I can't push them very far along my handlebars to accommodate the SRAM grip shifts and grips.
2) Reassembled Shimano freehub but noticed the SRAM cassette has a bit of play on it. I can rock it slightly back and forth when pushing/pulling on either side of the large cog. The lock ring is tight, but I think its maybe a loose fit with the freehub, which seems weird, but is that just a Shimano/SRAM tolerance issue?
3) How free should the freewheel spin? For some reason, I remember it spinning for quite a while (this is just on the wheel, no chain or anything connected). Now when I spin the cassette, it doesn't seem to carry the momentum very much. Maybe it will spin for 2 seconds before coming to a stop.
4) Wheel truing. Have a bit of a wobble of the rear wheel. At least its noticeable when I spin it and watch from behind. Do you need a truing stand, or can you just use the bike frame to do this? Maybe a bike shop would be better?
Also thanks Bossy22 for offering to help with the crown race. I just got the new crown race in, and was in the vicinity of MEC and they installed it on the fork for free (kudos to MEC). One thing I don't like about the Cane Creek headsets was the blue rubber dust seal on the top assembly. I had to check the internet a few times before figuring out that it is supposed to be visible when finally assembled. Kind of weird.
