Nov 30, 2020 at 23:20 comment added Job Van den Berghe @DanielRHicks I've noticed that it usually happens after one to three/four full pedal rotations, could it still be what you suggest it to be?

Nov 29, 2020 at 2:28 comment added Job Van den Berghe @DanielRHicks how would I go about determining if this is the case?
