• Cheers for that, very helpful. This bike is mainly going to be a commuter though I'm hoping to debut it at Welwyn on the 16th.

    I accidentally wore a pair of pads right down to the metal on my mechanical pull discs on the Genesis, it made a similar noise to what this is making now.

  • Debut at welwyn Velodrome? Just moved back to herts and been meaning to find out about it... Is it in use? Are there training sessions? I've ridden a little bit at HHV, can I turn up and join in?

  • I meant my bike making its cyclocross debut, at Stanborough Park. There is a velodrome in Welwyn run by the same club who are putting on this cross race (Welwyn Wheelers, who you've no doubt come across at HHV) but I don't know the workings of it.

  • Was my local club before moving to London. Yes still in use and info on training sessions can be seen here.
