Had to ride 44 miles for work yesterday - home -> Altrincham -> Sale - > Manchester -> Bury and back the scenic way, so took this out for a proper spin.
Locknut on headset was fine. Which was good.
Chain lasted less than a mile before it snapped as I tried to get on a roadies wheel to draft them for a bit. Removed broken link, and took it easy on that the rest of the day.
Bike fine, slightly heavy and obv with only 10sp on a 42/52 double made the climbs interesting compared to on my usual triple day to day bike...
Really smooth though, soaks up the rough roads nicely.
Need to put 2cm longer stem on and adjust saddle position, will improve fit.
