New rail 9.9 xo axs 1.5kg lighter than my old gen 2 rail 9. Colour is more grey than black if anyone is wondering how deep smoke looks in real life. View attachment 118526

That's a clean looking ride you got! Care to inform me what kind of XLC stand you use? I had one earlier but my Rail was too heavy for it.

No but the robot grass cutter was looking pretty mean!

How many mm of stem spacers on that bad boy

A lot. Saddle is quite high as well. Works fine on trail and uphill and down hill is epic.

I do have an unusually wide wingspan so works for me, medical wife does take the piss out of my long arms.

How far does the dropper move with the rear light positioned as in the pic?

 

[Paulquattro]

How far does the dropper move with the rear light positioned as in the pic?

I dont suppose he uses the rear light of road where the dropper is needed

 

[ragnor]

How far does the dropper move with the rear light positioned as in the pic?

Just what Paulquattro said really. That route uses a fair bit of road so I always like to ensure that the traffic pays attention. Even on narrow roads I must say that everyone gives me plenty of room. Maybe my weaving all over the road helps!
I have however on the odd occasion forgot about the light & found that it slides up pretty well when the dropper drops.

I’m a weaver also.

Apparently there’s MTB helmets with Red lights built in.
