Still trying to work that out.
If I use the DMR I need a seatpost with a sensible length unfortunately it's 25.8 so more than likely a 420mm USE with a shim and some sensible forks as I'm just not getting on with the suspension. Ideally some thinner tyres might be nice but the ones I have are plenty grippy I'll just be more knackered by ther end of the day. Also I need a saddle I can actually sit on for more than a mile but that'll be borrowed from either the surly or the affinity.
If I use the steamroller I need a either a fork with a disk mount so I can use the wheel and front brake from the DMR and a gripper tyre for the rear or a fork with brake bosses, a brake to put on them and a wheel with a breaking surface. I can use the polo GI though so I'm not worried about having a back brake as it locks so easily.
Which ever bike I use will be fitted with the atacs off the affinity for the day.
Either I need to do some very special tinkering in the next day or two to make monster bike or I need to go spend some money at CRC or similar.
