I have a Medium (usually ride 55 /56 road bikes with long stems) and wish I got a Large. I'm more comfortable now I use it in dad mode but the long stem gets in the way of the cargo area, which can be an issue.

Metal mudguards can be re-radiused, a couple of us on here have done this.

Stop it.

Drill underneath the extension bar?

Some Smartwool merino tees are logo-free too, I have one that's 10yo. My Rapha ones fits/fitted better though.

Gonna age terribly!

I feel the same about any interior paint that isn't white.

You're just jealous because no one wanted to invest in your full carbon tyres idea.

A ratchet strap is the ideal course

For very voluminous loads, yes. Otherwise innertubes are better as the rubber provides some friction as well as elasticity.

V2 might just be what we need. Yours look so much more artisanal though...

That would never have happened with Time Atacs. Just saying.

If you like the look of that Muuto you can save a lot by buying the table top and legs separately.
I did that with Hay Loop legs (not super original, but it works) and a 2nd-hand oak and black lino table top, for about the equivalent of £250 all in. New table top would have been 5000kr new for a 200x100 cut to measure, so still significantly cheaper.

I haven't got the bike with me unfortunately, it's at the workshop.
Basically I'd like permanent spacers at the back in the horizontal dropouts, so the wheel can be removed and put back without having to worry about axle placement.
Chain tugs could work, they don't look great though and I don't need/want the axle to go "through" anything.

Thanks @Samuli that's worth a try.

Pendleton, Dickies

Too common. Try Kidur (although it'll take weeks to clear customs).

Looks amazing already. I have seen a few of the oversized ones and the lugs just look out of place, this is much nicer.

And happy birthday of course!

Sorry for moving the conversation away from the lovely road bike,but how would one go about making something similar (the dropout spacers) without the access to heavy machinery? My gf's bike has horizontal dropouts which has given me - and others - a bit of a headache in terms of getting tyres and guards to fit while keeping acceptable shifting. It currently has those dropout screws but let's face it they're just a bit shit.

Never been ridden in the rain.

That's a Xantia though, not an XM.

Tukt is dead. It was about time.

Although that little hook is clever I'd still say bungee cords are death. Embrace innertube upcycling, they really are better as well as safer!

they’re too rigid

Sounds like you pump them too hard, sidewalls are pretty thin.

I wear a merino Buff pretty much daily in winter, off the bike as well. I still have one that I bought more than 10 years ago so durable too.
The Rapha neck warmers are very short so nowhere near as versatile.

I don't think it'll be an answer you'll hear a lot but I'd start with a 12-30 cassette (the rear dérailleur will be fine).

I had a Straggler, its fork were heavy, not particularly comfortable, and flexed under braking. But yeah they held the front wheel.

Hot take of the day: there is no such thing as a good steel disc fork. You need big tubes to deal with the disc but then it's heavy and lacks compliance. And it will probably flex under braking anyway so basically what was the point.
