I have similar problems on Monday mornings!

Crank Bros front skewer arrived today and looks pretty nifty, I just need to work out what after market skewers are available for the rear skewer, which is longer than standard.

nice bike youve got there and a good read/build

 

[Nick C]

Thanks Steve.

Small updates.

New saddle and gear cables (idea clearly stolen from a certain RB member and his current 'lush' Ti build ).

 

[Nick C]

Now contemplating whether I can get away with a 140mm fork on this frame?

 

[BertR00t]

Got a 150 one on mine Nick if that helps but the forks A2C is not much longer than the Pace I had on it originally. Rides much better in my opinion though the fork wipes the floor with the Pace.

 

[Nick C]

Yes the A2C is will be the crux. However, I think I'm going to try running with a little less air for awhile and try either a heigher bar or stem to gain a little additional control on the front end. I'll see how this works out for both the ups and the downs before I commit to a new fork.

What travel forks have you got now, 120mm? 140mm would certainly help on the downhills. However, so would some bigger balls
