  • Feeling a little too far back on the saddle and its as far back as it'll go in the rails.
    Guess I didn't need that inline after all...

    are your knees in the right position now? You could need a longer stem, one atm looks very short

  • yeah it is pretty short. not sure will have a ride tomorrow and see.
    the frame is to big for me, but i want to make it work. it feels more the saddle position than anything to me.

    and if i can avoid having to rewrap the bars i will

  • what bonor said about knee postion.

    bigger stem?

  • possibly.
    its the saddle is pretty uncomfortable position wise which is odd considering i normally agree with flites.

    will probably try a seatpost first and if that doesnt help then a stem change.

    where should my knees be out of interest?

  • cheers man! will have to give this a go soon with a mate.

  • Raised the saddle and pulled tweaked the nose up a dab and it's feeling a lot better.
    Thinking of trying a longer stem soon.

    Maybe some risers for the winter skkrtluv styleee

    Our weatherman

  • Looks lovely. Can I ask what the chainring is?

  • looks like velosolo to me

  • Yeah velo solo.
    Well cheap and seems real nice

  • Picking up some odgewong made double straps on MKS pedals today and a set of Nitto Risers.
    Going to order a 100mm stem for the risers and see how that feels.
    then depending on that another 100 or a 90 for the drops.

  • can anyone recommend a good removable mudguard that clips onto the seatstays?

  • sks raceblades? I've never used them personally but they seem good

  • I used them for 2 years now, if you take the time to set them up properly they work pretty well. However make sure you put helitape down first because they'll ruin your paint job

  • sweet.
    will have a look for some of them then.

    tidy need some before the rain begins

    Do you use the standard ones or long? I'm looking to get some

  • im wanting standard for sure. long ones are hella ugly.

  • Do you use the standard ones or long? I'm looking to get some

    Ive got standard

    im wanting standard for sure. long ones are hella ugly.

    they are, but they are also hella dry, if your bike will take them get them

  • i like this method of using the standard mounts on the longs, guessing you need a drilled frame to use the longs though?

  • they may fit under my brake bridge. will have to see. definitely can't run a front but thats not nearly as much as worry

  • Anyone got a cheap 100mm quill going?
    25.4 clamp.
    Preferably black but not too bothered

  • get a pro chrome from PX or condor

  • thinking about going Ahead on this.

    decisions are : get converter.

                        patiently wait for a 1inch Alpina. 
                        wound up. (my dads mate is selling a threadless 1inch)
    

    how can i work out my fork rake?
    wound up is 35mm. reckon thats much shorter or longer than the current?
