    Bahhaha, yep the ol fufu is far too fragile to go out and smash it every day. Low gears are good.

    I'm running 11 speed, so will prob upgrade the stock Ultegra 6800 to long cage GS version. That allow me to run a 11-34.
    Not really sweating the bars at this stage, I'll see how I feel about them after 1000km of gravel riding and assess if they are doing it for me (or not).

    Are you gonna do the Glenhope Gravel grind again this year? We might have to enter the "washed up adventure motorcyclist" class and see how we go.

    Yep, the Glenhope ride is a good one. The Glenhope-Murch was my first ever race so I have a soft spot for it.
    I think there's going to be a lot more steeper forestry tracks this time. Last time it was Tap-Tadmore Hill-Slippery-Sherry River-Tui and back for the 51km version and the Dry Weather Road out to Glenhope and back for the 81km version.
    Apart from the Tadmor Hill, it was sweet on the single speed.

    That 40t lower cog is going to help with that sort of shit

    Last of the road race season last week, I really like this bike as a single speed...
