Previously, these shifters were for bikes with lots of cogs (5 or more).<br /><br />It'll probably turn out to be crap and that will remind me why I'm not an early adopter.rigtenzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753944603301426002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-5315565655719423732010-01-25T09:34:57.454-06:002010-01-25T09:34:57.454-06:00That's an interesting design.

It looks like it'd be awkward to fiddle with mid-ride, but I'm not a road cyclist, so what do I know? ;-)Scorpiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486742156287913312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-21906637583240577002010-01-24T08:19:31.986-06:002010-01-24T08:19:31.986-06:00RYN about the SS.

I'll try it out today. <br /><br />I did fiddle with the rear gear because all I could find for the front was a 44 and really wanted a 39x16 setup. Now it's 44x18 which is almost the same.amidnightriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961440167635690163noreply@blogger.com
