Pinky V4 - Minor Tweaks and Silly Bars
28/11/16

This is a bit of a non-update so I’ll keep it short. I love the look of silly short bars so I bought £4 riser bars from china and sawed them down. I had to fit them upside-down as the brake levers now sit on the riser itself which meant they were miles away from my fingers. Then my brake levers didn’t fit (cable adjusters overlapped as they were so close together) so I bought some £4 ones from China which ruined my ability to brake. So I bought some lovely Dia Comp levers that work a treat. The China-spec pedals were really slippy when wet so I changed those. I up my front chainring to 46T (16 on the rear).
V5 is a fun one that'll bring us up to present day. Stay tuned…
