I hope you asked the Tree's permission first!!??

I would like less gears for sure.  Most of the time I double shift my shimano 11 speed.  I like the 11-46 range, so maybe that in a 5 of six speed. 

I've also been after a wider Q-factor and have just bought the Dagga pedals to improve(?) that. AJ's article helped me pull the trigger.   Testing tomorrow...

You take that boobz comment back!

That's some in-depth trialling going on Andrew.  I'm chuffed with myself for experimenting with stem length!  

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Thanks, I like it. It sent me on a rigid internet odyssey.  Is the geo working?

What frame and fork is that?

I have just tested mine with my 4 year old today.  He loves it.  If you're wondering where to get one in the UK, lovelo.co.uk had stock, so try there.  For his grips, i sprayed some lube in to an old set of ESI grips and slid them on to the inside of my bars.  Works perfect.

I agree, a misogynistic masterpiece, chocked full of everyday sexism. 

Even the track name, Leo-gang.  Leo is a boys name! #sexistplacenames

They are heavy for expensive wheels and I (now) would never ride without a tyre insert, adding even more weight.  Riding pricey carbon and no insert means you may as well flush your cash down the bog.  Stans Arch with inserts works well for me and I'm 110kg (240 pound) and a pretty hard rider.  I can't really see the point in them.

I agree about resin, I run oneup's on my bikes.  I did toy with drilling the stock pedals and putting pins in too, but didn't.  The pins are key.  You can washer the Chromag pins to determine how much pins shows. I've already increased the pin height.  More grip the better it seems, just need to keep the kid in trousers to slow down his shins looking like his dad's too quick!
