The spacers were the original ones, so I didn't add any extra; my guess is that they are necessary to properly align the saddle.The wrong one watching how many spacer you have used to adapt that one.
Those of you in the UK who have a window to look out of, you will know that it has been a little moist. I got out in my new baby-gro last night and can confirm that it is possibly the best thing since waterproof socks.After yesterdays ride, i have bit the bullet and bougnt a baby grow.

Whatever it takes to keep you rolling broSRAM 12x grip/twist shifter. I jammed my right thumb a couple of weeks ago after a bee (!) flew into my mouth and stung me, more or less causing me to stop paying attention to the trail, resulting in front wheel washing out and down I went. There was no way I could shift with my thumb, and used my index finger to shift to get home. Even buttoning shirts and opening ziplock baggies is difficult and painful ... especially those childproof ziplocks adult goodies from the dispensary come in. A week of no riding was driving me crazy, then it occurred to me maybe there was a SRAM 12x grip shift and Lo! there is! Arrived a couple of days ago - I've never been a fan of grip shifters but it got me back on my bike. My wife usually rolls her eyes when more bike gear shows up in the post but she appreciates I'm not the grumpy old fart I was a few days ago.

TFT have a spring calculator. I have no idea how good it is, but it is by TFT so it must be, at the very least, OK.DVO Jade X 230x60 for the 2022 Trek Rail 5. Now got to figure out what spring to buy, thinking VALT Progressive. Bike is 25kg, I am ~84 kg ready to ride, I like a plush ride and can't get a lot of air because my left ACL is very 'second hand' so can't risk a twisting landing. Will ask TF Tuned.
I've used it, think I need 400-488, but I'll call them tomorrow.TFT have a spring calculator. I have no idea how good it is, but it is by TFT so it must be, at the very least, OK.
