Today I will be mostly.....
Tweaking.
I've got some new blocks to go in my Avid V's, and then I can hopeully set them so that the levers don't have over and inch of travel before they lock the wheels tight. The I'm thinking of switching my Gripshifts for the LX rapid fires I've got in the cupboard. I have this mental image that I preferer indexed thumb shifters to gripshifts, but it's been so long I don't rightly remember. Then of course there will be the obligatory test ride - assuming the weather stays finer than it was this morning. I wish I had a workstand -- Dnc |

I have this mental image that I preferer indexed thumb shifters to gripshifts, but it's been so long I don't rightly remember. I also did this change and the difference is marvellous. With a gripshift I was often over-shifting, but no more. Indeed - I just find them less than precise and a bit, well, clumsy. Then of course there will be the obligatory test ride - assuming the weather stays finer than it was this morning. I wish I had a workstand Even a cheap £19.95 from somewhere, (but forget where) makes a hell of a difference to 'tweaking' fun .. £20? Bargain - see if you can remember where will ya? Have a great test ride .. don't forget the allen keys .. Last test ride I did I found that revolving brake levers are a little disconcerting upon first application of nothing .... Heh, Done that many a time. Likewise not actually connecting brakes after having removed wheels etc. Seems okay for now, will see how it beds in over the next few days commuting. The shift units don't work brilliantly with my levers, reckon I might just have to scour ebay for something a bit trick [tm] -- Dnc |
