I think I’d kill myself trying to descend at 40mph at anything lower than 70 GI tbh. I’d say I’m at a decent limit for both up and down with that. Just a bit of HTFU here and there.
Duly noted about the washers. Will try and nab some from work. Nylon will do I imagine.
But do explain, what is this HDIJ you talk of?

Hey if the GI works for you then that's that!
Hard Day is an annual forum mid-winter fixie ride: https://www.lfgss.com/events/7850/

May I recommend you get some fibre washers for the bolts on the PDW guards? you'll want some flex in the fixings otherwise the metal guards are a risk of shearing. I sheard both front and rear guards (and have moved t0 SKS Blumels) - I don't think I'm the only one it's happened to. PDW guards are lovely ofc but really recommend this.
Also recommend dynamo and 65/66gi. Stick with this ratio and you can do anything (except ride the velodrome or compete in CX). Nice build! I hope to see it at the next HDIJ
