• I actually bothered to sort out the saddle position on my mtb, which turned out to automatically fix the other problem I had with bar angle. Feels great now, after getting it right I rode around 30 - 40km just enjoying the city at night. Then yesterday it was way too hot and I didn't feel like climbing hills, so I thought I'd try doing a long ride on the mtb and go and look at the sea.

    Unfortunately while going up a steep hill on the way out of Tokyo my rear derailleur did a thing.
    Fortunately I literally just this week bought a multitool with a chain breaker on it, and swiftly converted it to single speed.

    Unfortunately I forgot I have biopace chainrings and measured the chain at the wrong point.
    It turned out fine tho and I'm not really sure I can be bothered to buy a new derailleur and set it up again so I might have an SSMTB for this summer.
