Hi,

I never really got to test it in anger as I´ve not been able to ride really since I got the rl together.

Here are a couple of pictures when I´ve been out with my kid riding nice and slowly though.

OK, this will be the last update in a while.
Tonight I finally got the front mech working pretty much ok.
Not perfect, but workable on the tracks.
Never had a problem before with a mech but it probably derives from the fact I have the xtr bb with only one shim and at 116 mm may be stretching things.
I´ve got dmr v8 pedals on now. Thanks Darren :)
Last pic for now and thanks for looking and for all the nice feedback I´ve gotten.
