Hey Vik, what are those two silver colored rods to the right of the Nexus hub and above the chain? They looked to be clamped there by a black piece of plastic and a screw/bolt. I can see it in other Season Tikit photos of yours as well. It looks like it runs all the way to just above the chainring (where the front derailleur would be). Is that something unique to the Nexus? Is it on your other Tikit? What the heck is it?
Thanks,
Jeff
Those rods act as a minimalist chain guard to keep your clothes out of the greasy chain. They seem to work pretty well.
Is that a Bike Friday innovation, a standard aftermarket product, or a Vik design special?
That's a Bike Friday special as far as I can tell.
