Just joined. Some advice please from those of you in Australia probably. I'm here in UK but have a Giant crx2 in Perth. Coming over next week and want to bring some bits with me. Bike doesn't seem to be available here in UK yet - at least google doesn't think so. I want to change the stem and the seat post to something less, er, 'city', more - racey. Can someone please tell me the sizes for seat post (27.2 perhaps?) and the bars. I'm pretty sure the stearer is 1 and 1/8th. Cheers, Mark.
I find all components on the bikes OK except for the tyres. We had Continental Ultra Gator Skins fitted to each bike, 23mm for the gents, 25mm for the ladies. Glass on paths here is a problem.
Thanks for the info, could you also measure the handlebar diameter for me please - to know which stem / shim to use. Thanks, Mark, will watch out for the glass.
One more question. Will the gears / brakes etc. fit nicely onto a Bontager Bullhorn type handlebar rather than use bolt on bar ends to get out the wind? Also, can anyone recommend good shop in Perth WA which has a range of bars stems, seatposts etc in stock?
