The Idle does not really matter but may be an indication that something else is wrong

You can as it just means you balance two at a time. 4 would be simpler but it can be done with 2. Busters have a really cheap set on offer. don't know if they are much good but I think they are £22 for a pair and £35 for four.

Hopefully out for a spin this morning so can see if it's better or worse overall than when I started
