Thanks for all your help. You folk have given me so much useful information. Dare I ask indulgence again
How do you work this out? That is even before the stem length which nearly f*cked my last purchase. My MTB bars are huge but my CX feels too narrow. Not sure how you evaluate…?

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

the crossing i use the most doesn’t have a beg button, takes two minutes to change and gives me about 6 seconds to cross 6 lanes. a lot of the time not enough drivers stop at the red and i get stuck in the divide. 4 minutes to cross the road to do the shopping
Unless there's an unbreakably valid safety reason why not, all button-operated pedestrian crossings should activate the lights in pedestrians' favour instantly when pressed.
