Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Harry_Palmer79]

No secret measurements honest! Just you have posted in one or two threads about cubes and their sizing I'm hoping that what you say about 'compactness' is what it is... the angle of the top tube is very different to the T5 which brings the handlebars closer - hopefully get it sorted out on Saturday!

I find the T5 is a very stretched out position, what stem did you have on the T5, mine came with the 110 but got it changed to 100mm when I experienced shoulder pain

Cadgers Brae

I think there must be an interesting etymology for that name.

I think it might stem from the word cadge. Could be wrong though.

 

[mr messy]

Or a mispronounciation?
Badgers
Nadgers...


Shall let someone else get down to 'T'

Thanks for that insightful post
What I meant is, what is it about this brae that was so appealing to those who cadge?

Well that's not really an etymological question.

It is the 110 that's on mine... overall the stem on the T5 is 15mm longer than the Cube, so perhaps changing/adjusting that might help too?
