Well I tried the second option and I tried to believe there was a big difference, but if the truth be known there probably was little change, but it's a right old hassle to 'tweak' because that involves taking it all apart again....

Perhaps it may be better for yourself because I'm quite light.

First option certainly looked to be a little more 'scientific' but I haven't the welding skills to perform.

And besides, as mentioned before I use it as my daily so need to keep it on the road.
