Have to admit that it does take a bit of time for a bike to settle down but once I get everything dialled in-it behaves well. Probably down to checking the bike regularly and getting the nuts and bolts etc to the right torque. Have to make a trip to the LBS soon though- the seat clamp on Boreas has had to be tightened up just a bit more than usual and I don't like the fact that the two faces on the clamp are nearly touching. But before I suddenly have seat post slippage on a ride- I will get it corrected.

But those Bontrager parts. I do not use them- have never bought any of them but I don't like them. All I have had to do is maintain my mates bikes that have them fitted and from that experience- I will not fit them. To me they are Inhouse parts- at a very expensive price.
