So I got the sram cranks, done about 300 miles on this bike as a single speed now, maybe more. Yesterday I did the south downs cx sportive, great fun and a good opportunity to get the bike into mud mode. Used some Schwalbe cx comp tyres for this because of some roady bits and could not have wanted more. Chody stem was on there too for a bit more of an upright position but keeping my bars as low as was comfy. Will assess the damage tomorrow as havn't had time to clean the bike yet, bearings could be in trouble. Sorry for the crap photo, the nokia had to do!
Note to self, saddlebags get very wet and muddy off road, the rain jacket that was tucked away in there was more wet than me when it started to drizzle!
