This is good. Facts and figures. I like the sound of them, i think ill try and look for one i suppose.
I do appreciate everyone encouraging me to just not fall, and ive decided to take that advice onboard..!
But i will also try and find one of these axes and at least shave a modest amount of slide off, we stand tall in all different shapes and sizes.
Axes- to a degree- thankfully too.
