The triple density is so much better that the double density.

That one density is so often overlooked but is so, so important.

Handmade bearings? Crazy Danes.

Still no decisive moves made to procure bottle cages, tempt me people!

This is all going to look so great on a bike with a straight HT. You didn't buy a bike with a tapered HT did you? Because that would look silly.

If by straight HT you secretly mean tapered HT, then yes I did buy a bike with a straight HT

Wheels don't have skewers, so we have an important decision to make there too.

Aha, the mavic ones are in the wheel bags, but let's have an argument about skewers anyway for the craic.

Tune are the pointless skewers of choice.

Every Mavic skewer that I've had is a bit shit and rattles with intense loudness on lightly rough roads...
Agree with Tune suggestion upthread!
