Here for rides.
If a hard core boy mocks you for your dog fang point out many top drawer cx-ers use 'em and they don't come more hard core than them.
They're also very difficult to spot, nestling behind the crank in the crook between down and seat tubes.First long ride today (about 45 miles & pretty hard work, I'm so unfit). Very comfy, but the first time I tried out the smallest chainring the chain did exactly that! Might just be adjustment I suppose, but for £7 one of those dog fangs might be a good idea, whatever they are. Will I be mocked by the hard core boys, like they do for those plastic disc things? (Not that I care much, of course .)

or indeed £4.53 herehttps://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=54741.msg1115496#msg1115496
Shows in easy-to-understand words and three photographs why audax will never catch on with The Bloomsbury Set. And why a Deda Dog Fang is worth seven quid.

That's now't to do with the dog fang....you are missing a ring.Your dog fang must be rather special. Mine will never stop a chain jamming between two front rings...

TRIPLES RULE !
I finally decided to go to Bridgewater in Somerset to SJS Cycles, to look at the Thorn Audax Mk3. They only had the one small frame in stock, specced for someone else who didn't take it, in the 'guest' colour (British racing green) I would have wanted anyway, and they were happy to change the bar-end shifters for STIs and the honey-coloured saddle for a black one, so I bought it. I think it's rather beautiful.
