Howdo all.
Days are lengthening, weather is cheering. Thus far, I've managed to put off swapping the lights across from the heavyweight commuter (SMGTe) to my new Challenge Furai. But, with a need to pick up some serious mileage, the time may have come to dress the new machine for evening and night rides.
The SMGTe has no derailleur post, but has a very handy bolt sitting atop the boom just behind the bottom bracket. I've used this to hold my B&M Cyo in place, and it works perfectly.
Problem is, the Furai does not have a bolt here. With a carbon boom and derailleur post, the mounting approach has got to change. I've seen solutions at Terracycle (

Can anyone point me in the direction of something that might work? I really need to get out on that Furai, if only to check how woefully short the top gear is. On short runs, I'm spinning out all the time, and really wasn't expecting the SMGTe to outperform. Hopefully, it'll settle down on a longer pace.
