  • What's the spec on your wheels? I'm looking at building up a new set at the moment but 1750ish is about as low as I can get them, although admittedly that's using Sapim Race rather than CX-Ray spokes.

    Velocity a23 rims, sapim bladed spokes and chub hubs front and rear.

  • ^^ lol

  • Must be about a foot and a half?

    I have nothing else to do so I'll go measure.

  • Just over 15 inches from saddle drops, since going for pedals that put me lower I've not need to raise it anymore, also looking to throw a small spacer on the pedals to put them wider as my feet are very close to rubbing even with the cleats furthest in.

  • what is inches? converting to a more sensible unit based on this even my lo pro is only 4.15 scoblebrick, hope you've been stretching

  • Gets my back pretty flat, not been stretching any more than usual yet as I'm fine until I get a backpack on, then I get neck pains.

    Edit: Luckily I won't be wearing a backpack while riding this.

  • try with a longer stem

    Look into IRD cadence road rims

    Current build idea is these hubs (which I've already bought), to H Plus Son Archetypes. Not sure if it's worth messing around with for the sake of 200g, if I want a lighter wheelset I've got a set of PX 50mm tubs sat in the back of my house doing nothing that I could always rebuild.

    Oh and that 380mm saddle to bar drop is fucking ridiculous, fair play!

    Went for a quick spin with 120, wasn't feeling it.

  • Ha that blog is just reposting everything from the sled thread

  • two of my bikes are on it and one of them has 75 notes, does this make me #fixiefamous?

  • all of my bikes are on it, one of them twice. I'm more #fixiefamous

  • They're all on here too and this is the most unfriendly, most famous, bestest collection of fixed scumbags in the universe so who gives a shit if it's on some blog.
