I'm getting smoked!

[jonesyiom]

Had my fist ride on the old zixer last night and what a hoot, It was bouncing around like space hopper, shaking it's head like slobbery Dog and generally misbehaving in every way possible. Having said that, it was quick to turn, the new Tokio 4 pots worked like dream and the power ones it came with were truly great (29f/29r). Having now completed my first assessment of the Zixers performance one thing that I couldn't help notice was the fact that I was getting smoked, wholloped, whipped and routinely raped on anything that resembled a straight! I reckon I even got smoked in the holding area

Put simply, I need a tuned engine as my bog standard one aint goin to cut the mustard should the mustard ever need cutting and tonight I did hear that Mr Coleman was putting in an appearance. Apart from that I'm back out again tonight for round two and hopefully knock a few more seconds off.

Plan for tonight is that I'm knocking one off the back as it's redlining a little early. Going to change to 15/44 (2.933) or to be absolutely exact 16/47 (2.9375). I would have gone to the 15/44 should I have ordered a 44 rear sprocket like I thought I did when I phoned up B&C, however good old me order a spare 45 instead - dick!

I need an engine!
