The slightest of low pro.
Ha!
It's because I had to flip the seat tube clamp on the weeride so it now angles down.
Funny reading back on the thread. That Charge CX would have been such a better choice. But then I probably would have sold it. Whereas this has so much sunk cost and so little resale, I'll probably keep it forever.
The joy of children means I only managed to get out for a shakedown ride today.
Brakes needed a bit of fettling. Front took 5min. Rear took 20min. Standard. Although TBF the CR720 are well thought out.
One of the front bumpers is missing from the weeride, with a Lidl Croc strap as standin. I tried to put some weights in the weeride, but it quickly became apparent that the bumper isn't just to protect the bike. So although I couldn't try it fully laden it was a useful exercise to do without mini-H on board.

Initial thoughts:
Great bike. I really like it.
Makes me a little sad I didn't have it setup with this fork and front brake when it was originally being ridden and that it couldn't come to NYC.
Realistically it's probably going to need gears. As is, it's spot on. With 12kg in the front after a bit of riding?... maybe less so.
The high riding position doesn't feel like it will be an issue, although as a child carrier a longer TT would be best as the weeride is chunky.
Also the Nitto Albatross are fucking great.
