It wasn't so much booing him. Was stood with Ali Smith and his Leics RC teammates, started a lazy "oooooooh - ohhhh" every time he was second man in the line and swung up. The moment he actually hit the front, the whole stadium erupted (think it was with 2 to go). He got bronze, and thanked us after the race Very Happy

Could you use 175 on an outdoor track like Halesowen and Wolverhampton?

172.5 on manchester is fine, upright events. U23 bikes all have 170's on.
