I think the wide narrow looks great on there.. And they are pretty cheap right? A non wide-narrow 44t would be about the same price?

And on some (not Hoke's) builds it's perfect in combination with this: https://absoluteblack.cc/cogs.html
No need for chain tensioning means your rotor is always alined to your calliper :)

Extentions are practical mod joined by proper gear ratio for beating the wind..I quite liked 47 X 19

on 'nother note, finally upgraded to some omnom sweetness and life is good!

Got a few for when I get round to spraying the raw MKM frame... think I might actually order some more in white, or black with silver outline as I haven't decided what colour the frame will be yet.

also, can someone recommend the best place to find this style of 531 decal?

@HillyBen might have something and is 'on here' so obviously infinitely better but if not then http://www.hilarystone.com/decals3.html

H.Lloyd cycles will certainly have them. A great source for all classic decals transfers stickers etc

Reynolds recommend H Lloyd as their official pre-'89 decal supplier.
This one looks to be a match?

I used H Lloyd before, satisfied with what I received.

Just found some CB decals I was after due to that link.

Cheers.

Thanks all for the recommendations!

Any recommendations for decent slim saddles. I ride a SLR on my niner but thats borrowed and he wants it back :(. I love the shape of the charge spoon saddles, just fits nice with my booty.

So maybe one of the new shallow fabric saddles? However, I really like the look of the specialized Romin/toupe, they any good? Worth spending the $$$

power first, then smp

Never SMP, they ugly as sin. So is the power tbh...

next.

but comfort is 10/10

It wouldnt work with the niner, aesthetically. Its ugly enough as it is.

If you like the SLR, buy an SLR

Got a point.

I quite like the Romin and the Power. I've got the top end Romin but have to admit it is so hard that it can sometimes get a touch uncomfortable on my bones after 6 or 7 hours. Thinking of 'downgrading' to one with a touch more padding.

Well it is for my cross/all road/adventure bike. So maybe not

thinking about a new steel frame gravel/cross bike. would love to try apex 1, any relevant things against (except more weight)? or better upgrade to force 1/rival 1?

Built a home made rear mounted bottle cage holder.

I have a toupe expert gel on my secteur and it's really quite comfortable. Would recommend!

Wow... I love it, great diy.
