Some great input guys - thanks a lot  8)

I'm not exactly the tallest so not massively bothered by having a high seat, and the frame I am hoping to use is extra long. The DX post currently on my Expert is pretty high for me tbh. I was more concerned about bending or snapping a weaker one!

I will start a separate build thread once I get hold of the frame and start putting it all together. Hadn't really considered taking a spare chain but probably a good idea. I'll fit my usual ROE Whale Tails to eliminate any chain tightening issues too. I guess grip donuts might be a good plan also. I think I still have a set of those giant inch thick ones in red somewhere.

I was just sat here thinking exactly the same thing  :daumenhoch: (although if I've just finished a 5 week trip offshore beforehand it might already be too late!! Ha!)

rodriguez:
Do some research into seating position as your body will thank you for it and more importantly won't tire out as quickly on the ride.  Easy way to get the seat height is to sit on seat on seat straight leg and your heal on the pedal, allows legs to be slightly bent when you've the balls of your feet on the pedals when you ride.  You can buy 22.2 alloy tubing on ebay and make a post.


Padded shorts are also a must.
