More or less finished.
Went for a shakedown with @mashton a week or so back, only to find that Sikaflex does not function in the same way as a mudguard bracket, and that you really have to pay attention to how you clamp a Thomson X2 stem. Returned home with a rattling rear guard, bars at a funny angle and my tail between my legs.
In the end I followed @Scilly.Suffolk 's advice, as I happened to have a spare wider rear guard in the shed. What do you know: no more guard rub.
The bar end plugs that come with Supacaz tape seem weirdly ineffective for the complexity of the design.
Also switched to an inline post as the geo is a bit more easy rider than I'm used to.
Other than that, the next stage is to ride it round for a bit to check I'm happy with bar height, measure twice cut once. Will be my first time twatting a star fangled nut with a hammer, so that's something to look forward to.
