About this deal
After riding for more than an hour, the seat was still very comfortable and did not provide any soreness. The pedals are a little different than most, so you will want to place your foot so that pedal is perfectly aligned with the middle of your foot and not the ball or heel.
Ok, so these gear ratios are far off the current top end road bikes, which are equipped with up to 2x12 speed set ups, but it's still a impressive to see a highly respected brand used on a bike this cheap. With this knowledge going off like a Belisha beacon in my head, my first outing on the Brand X Road Bike saw me enter a near state of panic on the crest of the first big descent on the bike. It would have had me reaching for a paper bag to breath into, had it not have been raining quite so much. Planet X is a proudly independent,Employee-Owned Company.

With all this out the saddle climbing I was ready to experience rear end flex, but so far so good. While it's clearly not an aero race bike, it was a more than satisfactory agile ride, especially when climbing, with even the bike's weight not overly noticeable. It became almost instantly apparent the stem length was around 10mm too long for me and I felt a little stretched out. I also typically run a 40cm-wide bar and my arms felt splayed out on this.With a secure 4 point strap mounting system and adjustable carrier clips, the Planet X Relay gives a firm and confident fit and secure mount for your bikes.

Had I whipped up this fear from my own imagination, subconsciously fed by progressive cycling industry marketing that preaches disc brakes and wide tires for all?
