Did you just ShartQ?

I’m using an XT one with a GRX dangler… Works fine Wolf Tooth.

Found it on ebay NOS and very much not cheap.

Very not pleased with my Swift as well. My Ruth Works is a pleasure by comparison.

It looks like Shimano is rebranding the CS-M7000-11 from SLX to GRX, too.

Is there a better way to route cables on a bike with DT shifter bosses and no cable stops or is this the way?

There are different versions of the same thing

That’s a good bike mess

People with Etap AXS drivetrains: do they quiet down after the few hundred KMs that SRAM advises?

Well, I meant it as an honest question, looking at Force AXS and curious what experiences people have.

I think you got an honest answer

Noticed that VO says folding beads only for thier tubeless rims. Is that something I should assume is the case with all tubeless rims?

I’d rather not run tubeless on this bike or limit myself to the selection of folding bead 26” street tires the free market is offering.

Not sure about actual safety issues. But my experience with wire bead tubeless tires has been that they’re harder to seat. The rigidness of the bead is unhelpful.

Yea, it settles down a bit with time. Keep it as clean as possible.

That’s my biggest concern there, guess I’ll keep looking and work on being less picky.

I found one…no luck finding its mate. If you send me a left one I’ll be forever indebted.

This is the thread where we still actually ask bike questions right?

I’m looking at medium reach brakes and searching the hoard, I rediscovered I had held onto these


They’re old centerpull Shimanos with a built in cable hanger thing. Anyone seen these or used them? They might be my dithering ticket. I’d have to hunt around for housing hanger stops, which is my only hesitation.

ahh is that an integrated “link wire” made from plate that cradles the primary wire at the fulcrum/straddle point?

equivalent to this from Shimano cantis:

Yes! Also integrated quick release for wide tire removal. I had never seen another setup like it on centerpulls.
