I foundd these noticeably less grippy that Freerider Pros, but nicer to wear and ride in just about every other way, comfort and weatherproofing being near top of the list. Plus a hideaway for laces - thin laces which don't soak up water and dirt, and an upper that dries quick and then brushes clean.

Carbon tubes tend to be thicker though, so there's a good chance a carbon steerer won't have a big enough internal diameter.

Pitching Forward: The Impact of Steep Seat Tubes - March 29, 2021, 2 a.m.

I think droppers have gone a long way towards making steep seat tubes possible - and maybe a factor in why road bikes don't favour them - when the saddle gets moved forwards, it can end up in a place that's much less suited to out-of-the-saddle climbing. No issue for me, i drop the saddle out of the way, but for a roadie attacking a climb it's a different story.

My OCD had ruled that out. Tried it a gain, not cure I can live with it :)

Some sections of electrical heat shrink will help - pass the cable ties through it, tighten up, then shrink to fit with hair dryer. I use the same for front mudguards, etc. Gives a layer of soft rubber under the cable tie that takes the wear instead of the frame.

Yeah, am wondering about it. I do have the smallest Fidlock bottle, and the 590 one above also, neither quite work, the odd shape of the YT one might just squeeze in.

I need to find someone with the YT bottle to try it out..... that would be easy if it wasn't for lockdown
