Finally got the blue discs on - thanks @Howard!
Tall person problems; when XL bikes aren't long enough...
Added a NOS Hope 110mm stem (up from 90mm) + ESI Extra Chunky grips (if you have big hands, why not bigger grips?) and my lower back pain has gone. Handling isn't shabby, don't believe everything you read on the internet. I actually prefer the straight line stability.
Grabbed some Onza tyres in the sale at CRC too, think it was sub £30 for the pair. Very impressed so far! Much grip compared to my Aspens of old - they'll be back for summer though. 2.4 Ibex up front & 2.25 Canis bringing up the rear. Haven't got stuck in the winter gloop yet.
Why do bike tyres cost as much as car tyres???
