If you have any specific questions please ask. I see him regularly and can hopefully help to answer them for you.
Ah ha, thanks for that.
I keep getting drawn to the concept because it widens my riding envelope dramatically and when you live in a hilly area like I do, that's got to be a good thing.
At the moment, my Hillbrick has no gear cable guides under the bottom bracket (or anywhere else) - just like a track bike. I'll need to work out some way of running the cable under there but was thinking that simply clamping a piece of cable outer in place would work for initial trials at least. Any thoughts?
