Another vote for sizing down on frame. When I was less informed I was sold larger frame MTB and Road bikes. I could never get a good position without super short stems and they still felt like driving a boat. But it…

This was my second DK200, first was last year. I finished last year in just under 16 hours. I bailed this year at the 122 mile water oasis after 9.5 hours ride time in a 12 hour day, I wasn't physically or mentally…

Rondigs wrote: Do you happen to know which length you went with? 142mm x 12mm E-Thru road is a standard size and had no issue threading in to the original nut on the deraileur side.
