Sweet. Ill send you my notes ; )
should we buy wikipedia dot domain?
I was just about to say, it’s very funny that everybody here is really excited about some fucky new shifters that are so janky and mysterious that we are practically making a wiki for them
That said if they become V-brake compatible then I am all in
Oh, that would be glorious! My wife’s touring bike is still V-brakes and bar-end shifters.
how long have you been keeping your blog from us and/or have you actually been keeping it from us or did i forget about a post?
Since about 2000 I think. I dont do much these days.
Well how do they work with v brakes
Typically youd say they would work as good as anything else with mini-vees or cantis, but with mini-vees you are limited by the height of your tire. CX tire widths should be orright. I think I used 38 mm Bar lope arses with mini vees. Full vees would be a nope Id expect.
You could potentially use those brake cable pulley type adjuster things that convert short to long pull.
they need another set of levers that turns a cam to adjust the brake cable pull
I mean this is probably a joke but it would be on brand…
only half joking. I wish better options existed for cable brake compatibility but I suppose it’s kind of a dying market.
been using the COVID downtime to catch up on some blergening
You were a speed skater as well? You’re quite the multitalent!
