    You'd get the weight weenies complaining about that. I think my one tips the scales at about 10.4kg.

    Disc brakes are awesome on an Audax bike, I have rim brakes on the road bike and commuter bike and I find them twitchy and hand-cramping in comparison.

    Ahem, that'll be Ms. NamelessPhil to you! I didn't take his Boards name when we married.

    Disc brakes are awesome on an Audax bike, I have rim brakes on the road bike and commuter bike and I find them twitchy and hand-cramping in comparison. That's a nice Genesis equilibrium that you have that could only be improved by disc brakes.😀

    Ah yeah... when I put my foot in it, I like to out the other one in too

    I could hear your brakes from the other side of Tara hill. I thought ' well that must be Ms.NamelessPhil braking in a safe and energy efficient manner ' , as I fumbled around with my jittery tektro long drops :pac:

    Thanks, might be a few upgrades* in the summer...

    Edit - upgrades = potenza and new wheels!
