I ended up making just a couple of other changes though didn’t involve buying anything thank goodness. As I’m not riding my Fujiyama much at the moment I took the Grip King pedals I had on it and put them on the Friday. They really improve the ride as the pedals I had before were much smaller. Since I have GKs on all my other bikes I wonder why I took so long?
I also reversed the stem to lower the bars a bit. I’d been thinking about this since I ordered the Ergon GC3s (which haven’t arrived yet). The change is really pretty small but with big effects. The ride is quite different and pretty much what I expected. I’m going with it for a while.
Here’s what it all looks like now…
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
