I thought I'd give a quick update on the Kinesis Racelight T2, having used it for around 2500 km. Not as many as I would have liked, but I've been looking after my wife who's had a brain AVM removed, which is another story.
The only things I have changed on the bike are the tyres which were lethal in the wet, and the saddle which I just couldn't get on with.
The rest of the bike has performed really well. I've had no problems with the wheels. The Tiagra gearing has been good from day one, no adjustments necessary and I've also found the brakes to be good.
So anyone looking for a wet weather /winter Road bike, or a bike to commute on, there are fittings for a rack. I'd highly recommended the T2, especially as there are some good offers to be had right now.
