back to the wagon... mounted the wheels for the first time today and went to chase the sun. long boi looks alright. measured the bb height as 300mm, which felt and should be fine. could be less too. the tt is already almost horizontal, which is the aim. the low trail fork should sort the rest. this fork looks nice too tbh but there obviously isn't enough steerer.
these photos brought the new pedals and seatpost out of the christmas calendar, too. the simworks bubblys don't need much introduction. the seatpost is ritchey by nitto, which is a cheaper way to the supple club. i have also added a dropper of a desirable colour on my watchlist lmao. oh yeah and the king cages. the position of the bolts leaves a decent space for a half-frame bag, which is on order.
first impressions after kicking and rolling on the quiet residential street were: the cockpit needs to come up some centimetres. the switchback hills set as tubeless are smooth. the ck classic freehub isn't as loud as feared, rather quiet i'd say. the 8-speed chain doesn't really like the 11-speed cassette, hence the kicking.
