I did some more fettling after yesterrdays first ride- I have cut the bars down so they are less cowhorn width, fitted some Bontrager grips and cut down the lockout cable to the fork by 5". I also got the Garmin mounted on the stem with an older type mount base and large rubber bands. I dropped the air pressure in both tyres by 5-10 psi and the fork by 20psi.
So shakedown ride no2 went well, the fork is a lot softer but might still drop the pressure a little further. The brake levers need tiling up slightly after I moved them in wards yesterday to cut the bars down. Apart from that the bike is running sweet as a nut. It was a very simple out n back local ride from Meadowfield to Bishop along the old railway line. The line was mainly dry and mud / puddle free considering we had overnight rain yet again. It was also lovely and quiet with just a few others out n about. As for the weather well it was overcast / cloudy with some wind but half way back the sun came out briefly but the wind also picked up and started spitting rain. All in just 15.5 miles with less than 400ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
