Had a bit of a ride around this afternoon.
Gearing is a bit too high. I have a 17T sprocket to swap in for the 15T, but discovered that I don't have a lockring spanner. Ordered.
The bb high on this bike. When I did the seat post by eyeball it was way too low. Measured it off one of my other bikes and now the ground is a long way away, and getting off a fixed bike is apparently something which I still need to learn how to do.
Also, kerb hopping. How does that work on a fixed bike, or does it not?
