new gear on the bike

made some changes that should improve the handling and range of gears;
got some stans flow ex rims on superstar fuel hubs that sound nice too btw
these were a bargain from superstar's xmas sale although they took a month to arrive..they ran out of boxes  so they say  lol
i couldnt get an xd driver so changed the cassette for a sunrace 11-46t and because of this i put a superstar 34t chainring on the front giving me  a much better top end than the old 30/10 rear.the
46t should help with the steeper climbs.all you need to do is wind in the b screw,shifts very nicely especially with a new kmc x11super light gold chain...bling,bling.took a couple of links out 110 now.
also2 newish maxxis tyres.,a high roller off gumtree and a minion on the rear from my brother.
i,m trying out my new sealant as well..might work on bigger holes if i get any.the 'secret' ingredient is to add a handful of 3mm polystyrene balls like you get in a bean bag,they,re as light as air anyhow and should help to fill a bigger gap in theory.
one last thing i removed 4 studs from each hope f20 pedal,in the centre.this should give a more concave feel and be able to move the foot around a bit easier.....we,re all bloody fettlers aND YOU KNOW IT!
