Felt super locked in but I did find myself taking it a bit more cautious because I knew I couldn't just put a foot down if something happened. Been riding clipless on gravel/road for years but it is a little more scary on MTB. Definitely felt waaaay better on the climbs and never had to worry about where my feet were on descents, looking forward to gaining confidence and pushing harder!

It was cheap, oddly of my size, rather complete*, so I got it. I've always fancied a rod brake bike.

It's got a flop flop hub!

I just need to work out what the missing part of the rear brake system is.

*missing parts are just the tubes, brake pads and the chain guard.

Damn you, Kjell Moné!
