A few more miles

So today I rode into work in rush hour, if anything helps get used to a bike the stop start of rush hour and idiot driving of some is a good test of man and beast!
I will admit I was a little nervous , it's me a confidence thing well lack of it.
Yesterday I dropped the rear suspension a click down to second stop to see what it was like. Interestingly, the front end nosed dived a little more, at first I thought it was me still getting used to a proper front brake! But after playing around with it I found that a little back brake at the same time evened things. Before I use the bike again I'll hitch the rear up to fourth stop and see what happens.

I'm not an expert, never professed I was but learning the bike is a more interesting way to get used to things others throw more money at it to make it like the rest of  your bikes, seems daft and lazy.

I received the rear rack and throttle brake clamp today.
Croc clamp by Datatool  seems a better idea than a disc lock as it is highly visible so can't be forgotten ( I've trashed two disc locks by riding off having forgotten it! It also fit under the seat or in a pocket whilst travelling. For short trips out etc I hope along with the steering lock and immobiliser should make the opportunist walk past! 

The rear rack would have fit within half an hour, however one small soft metal screw head Allen bolt was already damaged in production, way to tight and a complete arse to undo and only managed to loosen it. And a crossed threaded Allen bolt holding the mudguard sub frame in place turned it into a two hour job.

Rear Rack
So I will swap out these stupid little bolts for some stainless ( a small winter project methinks)
But the end result is pleasing gives my wife a far better handhold than the half hearted ones under the seat.
