I just use a wee piece of duct tape to cover the slot.

I could cover my bike in innertube, sure, but why not just design it well in the first place? Inner tube over the QR means it wont open/close unless I lift the tube. Faff. I still hanker aver a bike like my old Cove with a nice bit of seat tube able the top tube so I can slip a crud guard into the frame.

if it bugs you… cut a 3 inch piece of an old skinny inner tube and slip it on like a condom! Why not ditch the collar all together an integrate a clamp below the top tube…like on an Eastern BMX. Than you can slam that seat all the way down for the steep stuff!

Yes. A touch longer than my previous designs. Cen is odd.

I’d better allow for some more spacers then – cutting down for a 16″ 456 at the mo.

Will headtube lengths generally increase with all this new euronorm stuff then?

I will report back later. Pretty sure it was 115mm on the 19in

Brant – whats the headtube length gonna be on the steel one? – about to cut some forks that I might at a later date want to fit a steel ragley and not have to bugger about with too many spacers.

I’ll get her to mock you up a knitted cover… Any colour preference?
