The main 'cone' part is just lightly knurled for a light finger-grip. Makes it very hard to tighten the lock nut in the right place. I usually overtighten slightly and then back the lower nut up into a stationary lock nut. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20312&page=4#post-337744 Sat, 19 Sep 2020 15:26:04 +0000 I were right about that saddle 337744@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Insisted on showing Katie to @steveo.

I am looking forward to feeling sad about our shed being empty and all warm knowing that his shed has a good bike in it. </p>
