also a badly designed seat. screws arent even long enough to get it level to the top tube |
swap the screws abound (front to back) one will be longer than the other and that way you can have an appropriate angle. i have done it on several posts (esp raceface), works a dream. |
done that, both screws are the same lenght, what would an 'appropriate angle' be anyway? close to parallel with the top tube?

So because me and my mates have front brakes there's a magical force that stops us doing barspins?  get a longer brake cable/hose or run it through the steerer

it was just a suggestion, people shouldn't need front brakes for dj if you ride properly.

Are they not allowed to leave them on their bikes for the next time they might do a DH run without mockery?
They may still ride DJ's properly.
The current style police should be fired. They suck.

you might slip it past the fashion police, if it has no front brake, the derailier better be SRAM though

And maxxis holy rollers with at least one brightly coloured part to make up for the derailleur, and don't even think about having the seat close to horizontal
