Oh and something I didn't mention (or see mentioned) is something people
may assume that you realise. The ride will be, of course, much harsher
(rattling one's teeth - it was suggested to me).
Because I have stiffened up all of the suspension for racing, I assumed
this would be the case and rarely think about it - until I get on a
badly maintained road for any decent distance... THEN I think about it.
I trust you weren't hoping for a cushy ride!
