It’s been a while since I posted here and that’s largely because nothing new has happened, but I just put some 28 Pirelli’s on the fixie and swapped the setup from ‘fun’ mode to ‘fast’ mode (this does involve a swap from a 17t to a 15t but I missed photographing that step), so thought I’d post some pics here.
Risers for fun n silly stuff, drops for the semi-regular regents laps and track forays.
Also going to be riding this bike 100 miles in a few weeks on the Deal With It ride, debating risers or drops, I think I’ll flip the stem if I choose drops as the drop and lack of hoods may be a little aggressive for that long of a ride I reckon… But similarly, will risers be good?? Either way, it’s riding a track bike for 100 miles so how ‘comfortable’ is it going to be really?
Not too much has changed on the gravel bike either except some 165mm grx cranks - not sure if I said that here already - it’s running good, can’t complain too much. Definitely not dream dream setup but it does the job pretty well. Here’s a pic of it from a London to Canterbury group ride that I ran last Sunday.
Bikes are good and summer is here. Not much to complain about.
