WOW!
And wowowow...
Just took him for a quick spin, up and down the road to work (including 1 km
of steep climbing, with sections of 20%, the hillclimb I won the other day
goes up it) and it FLEW up! It climbs better than the roadbike
I then took him into the fields at work, all on rather a slope... the bike
copes amazingly well with camber riding, seems very responsive in the
steering, as we expected, holds a line beautifully and plugs uphill just
fine
I need to tweak the brakes a little because they squeel and are too tight,
so start rubbing when muddy as they don't shed the mud as well... but I also
think I want to replace those funny short stocky blocks the Shimano canti's came with for the long thin
ones I prefer... Braking power excellent, no judder! Thanks to the Kinesis fork mounted hanger!
Will put it through its paces properly on rough stuff on Saturday morning on
a 1.5 hour Three Peaks style ride and let you all know how that goes, but as far
as 'normall' cross racing I reckon it will be brill! Light enough for me to
swing it over a 6 bar gate with ease should help with the runups and
hurdles
:thumbup:
Also, having just hosed it down... Mud doesn't seem to like to stick to the Ti!!!
