    Ultimate hill climber 40/23*11-46

    I purchased my S40 back in October with the view of it being a bike to commute on and also being able to handle hilly brevets. Am pleased to say that with not a lot of tinkering I'm running a 40/23 chain set and 11-46 cassette. All works and shifts well. For the rear cassette I'm using the...

    V20 Framekit questions

    Hi I've received a well packed parcel in the post which is my new V20 framekit - woo hoo! Inspecting the frame everything looks fine but a couple of questions:- 1) There are eight holes in total on the seat pan. I'm guessing the bottom two bolt to the seat stays but what do the other...
