Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

Today I switched over to the Ti Flexstem, which I think suits the MT4 colours much better. The steering is a little twitchy but is nice and aero at speed.

Love the coloured metal flake they added to the black paint on the MT4 frame

Re:

Steering a bit twitchy because the Flexstem is a bit short, or for another reason?

On your MT4, is the front mech a bottom pull 28.6?

Yes it is. Both gear cables are down tube routed.

I believe the steering is sketchy due to the narrow bars on the flexstem/bar combo. I'm quite broad, and the bar is very narrow indeed. For road/gravel riding it's fine, of course. Like most used flexstems, there is also some play in the main pivot so you can get a bit of vertical wobble in the bars, which is weird and hampers steering precision, but you get used to it.

There's a trashed Diablo frame and forks on ebay right now:

Shame. He's knackered the frame around the bb.

Re:

Are Pace the best suspension forks to use with Dynatech frames, or have people found others that are better suited?

I know the local tips are closed at the moment but fly tipping is against the law you know.
