Bars will be tweaked: today was just a shake-down.
Back brake for the time being: even with two, AX definitely fall into the "speed modulator" category. Thinking about adding a lever on the clip-ons for dual control of the front.
So at £45-odd being the going rate for a Phil, I might end up getting 55t and 56t rings together with a 15t (I meant to write "...if I then get a 55t ring and 15t and 14t rear sprockets..."), which would work out cheaper.
Just checked the 501, I thought it was 23mm, and it's 21mm. The Novatech/Rigida combo looks to come in around the £100 mark built up, so I think I'll go that route: what do you suggest for spokes?
Thanks for the schedule, most useful.
