Well done on stage one!
7 miles> isnt even that much tbh and im not even a 'mess life' guy. I recommend filling a rucksack with bubble wrap/clothes, then find a way to attach them securely so they that they dont swing and the padding should stop the axle from the wheel digging into your back.In terms of stem you could just go one cm shorter and or lift the stem up a few cm. Slammed track stems looks a bit anti imo, aesthetically I think they need a least 1/2cm for it to be pleasing to the eye. Just my 2p!

Cheers! Have you done anymore stages yet?
Yeah... I probably just need to man up haha The real annoyance for me is that with the wheels on my back I'm quite a bit wider so filtering through traffic isn't really very fun. A lot of the gaps are too small for me to fit down without taking out some wing mirrors.
Yeah I had it raised a fair bit compared to the pics above. I'll probably keep it as is for my next session and then decide if I want to change it then. I didn't feel too stretched out or anything so it might be good as is

Completed my stage 1 induction today at LVV on the Neil. I was lucky in the fact that there were only 6 of us booked compared to the 16 in a full session. The bike rode lovely, I had not problems staying in the drops for a reasonable amount of time. I may consider swapping the nitto jag for a pearl to make thinks a bit more comfortable though.
I might have to explore other ways of getting there as this time I changed my wheels when I got there but lugging the wheels on my back for 7 miles wasn't that fun, especially on the way back.
