    Oh I have gone all saggy ....

    Back in the 90's the likes of Performance Bikes and Fast Bikes would bang on about 'static sag' in articles about suspension set-up. Because it's important, the beginning of setting up everything else. Tent amount to witchcraft is suspension set-up, up there with carburetion..... Black magic...

    Hayes 22mm to IS adaptor on AliExpress and eBay

    Trek 5500

    It does look like the 5500 I have, but someone went to the trouble of swapping all the Dura ace for ultegra? I agree spinergy would look the nuts, bit would cost more than the rest of the bike, if I could find some..... Suppose I can start a 90's Dura ace collection 🙄
