Small update to the Arrow.
Got some black 170mm Middleburns courtesy of @scant to replace the silver ones, these suit the look a lot better. They were a bit of a pain to fit, the silver ones have a tripple spider and the black have a double which affected the chain line. I think the offset of the double was slightly larger pushing everything too far out. Thankfully I could remove the BB spacer that I had used so that the inner chainring mount on the tripple would clear the chain guide, bringing everything in a bit closer to where it should be.
I also changed the Evans own brand FWE stem for a Thompson Elite X4. I do like the simplicity of FWE, but it's a bit too lightweight for this application. The Thompson is a bit more burly inspiring confidence.
