I agree with that choice of I agree with that choice of noise. I am still waiting for the xx1 driver body which will allow me to get rid of my wretched gears and ride properly.

Progress.  I think.  I sent Progress. I think. I sent White a message and they said they have just manufactured the first batch of xx1 freehub body. I could not find it in any online shops, but I phoned a shop called Sideways Cycles. They can get it for me. About 4 weeks, they say. So I...

I thought I would give you I thought I would give you the story so far. Synopsis: Problems, mostly of my own making, gradually getting sorted out. I think. Now for the boring details. I wanted disk brakes and IGH, so I all I got from Mr Tolhurst was the frame, none of the other...
