Haven't used my v1 much since buying it, but got round to putting it together recently.
I really don't want to chuck my Spd's on it so looking for some velcro style pedal retention, red straps are very temporary. Any recommendations? similar to Cinelli or restraps etc suitable for mtb style flat pedals.
Being 6ft 4 and riding a medium v1 comes with its difficulties although it's getting there.
Currently looking for a 130/140mm stem or/and a 29.8 setback Thomson post, no idea even if that is a thing. Ritchey cross fork is on and so far really liking it, eventually will stick a Paul Canti brake on when I find one. Swapped from 25c gator skins hardshells to 32c panaracer gravel king sk's which are surprisingly fast on the road with a little bit of insurance when on rough paths.
Going from 49x17 to 49x16 gearing has been a great change too.
