Dang. I knew there was some sort of pre/post CPSC issue that I would likely
encounter...Just wasn't sure what.
Does this mean that I will run into compatibility issues if I try to use a
combination of pre and post CPSC bits? If, for instance, I were to use
a pre-CPSC bottom bracket and front derailleur, will the crank arms also
need to be pre-CPSC?
Thanks for your help,
