Upgrades:
- 27.0 Thompson seatpost to replace the 26.8mm unit which was too narrow for the seat tube and wouldn't stay up without over-tightening which led to repeated failures.
- Avid BB7s with 203mm rotors. The stock Tektros weren't actually too bad but these are better.
- Surly hubs laced to yellow Velocity Blunts with DT Swiss Alpine III spokes. The rear hub takes a screw on BMX style freewheel rather than the crappy cassette style freehub on the stock hub which would fail with monotonous regularity, as did the spokes.
Update: The Blunts started to show tiny cracks around the spoke holes front and rear so Velocity are upgrading me to Chukkers under warranty. It seems my weight & power and those tough Alpine III spokes were just a little too much for the Blunts. - Recently added a Tora fork with poploc to help make for some softer landings on the waterbars.
- Now with Rohloff.
