Anything specific i need to know on Tubeless with CX stuff then fellas ?
The tyres currently on are none tubeless, but i can certainly get some before April next year. I'll likely go Gorilla Tape 😉 Yeah i know i know...
Any pitfalls etc ?
Or would you just get something fairly sturdy but non tubeless and take a couple of tubes ?
Well I took it outside for its debut. Which was pretty useful.
Gearing needed tweaking as j wasn't getting gear 1, that's all good now.
Comfort is good.
Speed is good
Brakes don't exist. The levers there and they sort of do something but it's like going back to 1992
As you may have seen, the CX bike has been on a slippery slope of being potentially sold. Due to advice of wisdom on here I'm trying a few things.
Been testing and the seat was about 15mm further back than my usual position using plumb line off the knee. Not everyone uses that, but both my other bikes are set up the same, so we'll see. Will also decrease the reach and hence the stretch which may help too with the back/neck.
Will measure top tube to give overall reach on both too out of interest and compare to the CX bike.
Of course I get that road bikes and MTB are different so may be different and need getting used to.
We'll see if the legs play ball tomorrow and allow me a ride
I've spent the morning with the credit card out.
