Carbon seat post also gave me trouble with slippage... had to put several coats of antislip and tighten things past the torque spec to get it to stay put. (I am 195 lbs). Hope it holds.
Otherwise love the bike. Experimenting with some different tires really does change the personality.
(I wish I had it in 2x rather than 1x config tho'. I might buy a new S1 frame with the flip chip fork and buld one up!)
I had to look that up. I'll be damned. I thought of the same concept some years ago to vary the trail, only my idea was simply two sets of fork dropouts, one in front and one behind the end of the fork blade; Forward for less trail when laden (touring, cargo) so steering less heavy, aft for greater trail when unladen so steering less twitchy (I ride a folder with 20" wheels). Gosh I hope adjustable trail gets adopted by folding bike makers, or an aftermarket fork with that.
