    Help! Pretty sure my new handlebar is crooked

    I ordered some new euro-style bar from mikesxs, it arrived yesterday. Took it out of the box, and right off the bat I noticed it seemed a little asymmetrical. Really, it almost seems like the center has a twist, making the two sides' elbows slightly askew from each other. I'd like to be able...

    Brake Pedal Fitment

    anyone here have experience with Mike's caliper assy?

    I see they now sell the entire assy. (less pads) for $99 which is only $40 or so more than a re-build kit plus a new piston. Factoring in time required to make old caliper look nice, too, it almost seems worth it to get the entire assy. IF the quality is good. I know from experience and from...
