I’ll tell you, it’s very tempting! I am in love with the look. I’m just not sure if it would provide any real gains. My bike stops really hard with just one finger on the lever.

It’s bloody hot here! I wanted to go for a ride early this morning, we had a monsoon rain storm last night, but we didn’t get our usual cool off that comes with it. Was 90 degrees by 8:30 am!

Function over form my friend.... if it works, leave it alone. If mine was like yours, Id'a just left it alone too. But I gotta admit the 'form' helped my decision.

I'm looking to buy some stainless banjo bolts for the front brakes. Anyone know what the thread pitch is? 10 X 1.5?

Control cable turnbuckles. Perfect for threaded drill bits and countersink bits.

Just another day for the US Postal service. You’re welcome, citizen.

Are you sure?? Those might be bolts intended for someone with a similar name in Gladstone Montana that were sent a couple mounts ago. Better check again.
