Not very familiar with racks and all that. Can anybody recommend me a nice rear rack and bags? Light if possible but doubt there's such a thing. As cool as a front rack looks, I personally found it really twitchy when something weighty was in front of the bike. Not sure if its a matter of getting used to it or not but I tried a mates bike with one of those specialized pizza rack and did not like it at all.
Would want a bag that I can pop on neatly on the sides of the rack and not on top, can easily be slung on my shoulders/back when off the bike will be a big plus.
Thanks guys! -
Bought a large restrap frame bag and it seems like it's too long for the frame I'm using. Looking for a trade for a medium sized one if anybody has one. Long shot I know but worth a try.
Or I can sell it for £40, it's pretty brand new and only fitted once, not used at all. Bought from wiggle last month I think. Could've returned it but completely forgotten about it.It's this one right here

Thanks to SBC-Cycles for helping out build this one up. Hydraulic braking is still beyond me..Will need the saddle and seatpost changed. Still thinking if I should get a B17 or cambium for the saddle.
Havent ridden it properly yet as I just picked it up from the shop. So far, so good. Felt really solid and comfortable. First time running tyres bigger than 30c, feels a bit weird, it's like cushioned or something.
1x feels good, less hassle since there's no FD.
Got a restrap frame bag in large but I think i got it with the wrong size, should've went with medium. -

So, uh yeh, the electric part wont be electric at all. Junction box and internal routing around the BB doesnt have enough space to run around the BB shell. It's either I go external which defeats the purpose of a neat clean build or go mechanical, which I did. Got the full XT groupset so I can run with a non road drops. Didnt know this came with Hydraulic calipers and levers so the brand new spyres I just recently bought will be going on sale soon.. >.<
Got the frame, which is fracking gorgeous! This orange is so much better than the ones on the pics online. I pretty mcuh have everything now apart from the headset and seat clamp. Uncut steerer is long so will need that cut.
Will take some photos tomorrow once built up.

Uhm, planning on using some Di2 Climbers switch so I can use Di2 on some loop bars which means I will need to get some flat bar brake levers. Is this a stupid idea? If not, do I need to get two to control the front and rear derailleurs? Are there any other options available? I have 6870 for reference.
