Optimising the Five

After another evening in the basement the Five is almost tweaked to perfection. Almost. The 'patient' this time was the chain guide, a superstar components one (£11!). The top of the metal arm was touching the swingarm and stopping it from sitting nicely over the 32T set-up so out came the hack-saw and the file, off came an inch of metal and it's all sorted. The guide now sits perfectly in place and I even managed to fit one bolt through it into one of the ISCG mounts, so it's rock solid too. Two rides on and no dropped chains, pretty happy with that! All I need to do now is make a home-made dropper seat post for less than £250...
