I still have this one, and actually rode it today. HY sweet fixxieing is still fun, WTH sub 30mm tires are stupid.

getting ready for the first poopbarning trip of the year
new rigid mone fork. SUP helped me do some internal routing for the dynamo light and brazed on the light mount. thanks everyone in the dynamo thread for mounting ideas but I opted to take the nuclear route and just mount it straight to these steel bars

Comments on the dropper lever please?

12918

i don’t love it
it’s pretty hard to actuate, compared to a normal style dropper lever. cool concept though and it’s nice that it’s infinitely adjustable if you need that. i might need to play around with the positioning a little more

12919

It’s supposed to be omnidirectional?

12920

yeah, the bottom section with the lever attaches 360 degrees to the clamp, and you can pull the lever in any direction to pull the cable

12921

Kinda cool but I’m trying to figure out what’s the advantage over a thumb lever?

12922

I had the x fusion version on the Jones that Fred now has. I wouldn’t pay $60 for it but it is novel. Make the cable tighter if it isn’t actuating fast enough.

I keep thinking about sketchy times when your gripping the bar with your thumb and having trouble getting back to the trigger you could boop it with the top of your thumb.

12924

yeah I’m not sure that there is an advantage on my specific bike. I bought it because I was sick of my other dropper lever digging into my thumb while riding. it was weirdly sharp.

new mavic carbon clinchers are zesty

Was it the standard wolf toot? That’s what I have and yeah, it is unreasonably sharp around the edges. I’m thinking of switching to the PNW

The knurling on the paddle is ridiculous sharp. I don’t like touching it. I’m gonna buy the pnw, brb.

WT is sharp, but they all can do it. Stock xfusion manic one has also done it to me. The PNW or the oneups with the rubber are nice, and add some fun color options.

As do I, but that doesn’t necessarily stop the flaying. I mean, I have had the shifter do it.
