cheers ken think you are right about the risers, might try throwing the saddle a wee bit more to the front and go with the risers.

great set of wheels Dr S love the wheels and the carbon forks mind you I did think it was pretty funky in it's modern geared clobber- good job and I like the saddle as is, why the flat pedals is that work bike mode?

I tried SPDs in 1990 and I'm not keen to repeat the experiment. Those flats are great, very grippy (ripped my Converse to bits in just a few days) and have magnesium bodies and Ti spindles and weigh bugger all.

Has all this road bike nonsense not blown over yet?? What's next? Cruiser BMX?

Si

Ha ha I agree should be a swear box arrangement for all this roadie talk

 

[kaiser]

the floaty front will be the slight trade off for better downhill ability. Risers will help too. Do you have any? I've a set sitting but they need a shim.

I have a set of x-lite xc's that will be just the ticket but cheers Kaiser , did think about the flex stem for the stumpie but really enjoying the direct feel, it climbs like a ******* mountain goat to
