Nakoota Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Sometimes you have to solve 2 problems with 1 solution, enter my wife's first (3rd bike) which just so happens to be big enough to be my hardtail gravel/race bike when she doesn't ride enough (per the previous 2 bikes which were too small for me to use and were sold with a total of 8km and 15km ridden respectively).

MajG Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Picked up a set of BR-MT501 brakes from LBS today, get home, start with front, fitted, blead, piele. Remove internally routed rear brakes front to back, fit new caliper and hoses, take lever out the box, ... low and behold the rear box has a left hand mt401 3 finger lever and the front had a mt501 1 finger lever. very inconvenient that - you took it back i assume or going to ride with frankenstein brake levers

Pieter1 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 haha haha haha haha ha hahahaHahahaha! I’m convinced they will make it easier. Well it has to now, at least with the amount of riding I’m doing now it will take a year or so before I have to attempt it again.
Super Sywurm Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I recently got a Rapide 32T Oval 3mm offset chainring, LOVE IT! It suits my riding style perfectly.
DR ◣◢ Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 My 5Tens finally gave up after about 8 years of riding. Replaced with a pair of RC Hellions. Can’t wait for the weekend.
