Not a big purchase, but the first set of road shows I have ever bought new. My original pair I got from a mate 10 years ago. He had discarded them as they were too old and lent them to me to try riding clipless on the road. Used them ever since

 

Bought the Black DHB’s on Sunday at CRC, and went back today and bought the NW. now I have to decide which ones to return.

Shimano 8 speed 11/31 road cassette for the old Cannibal - it turns out that I don't eat steep hills quite as well as I used to! :blush: It seems to JUST make it with the Dura Ace 7400 derailleur.

E13 dropper died on me and had been replaced by a awesome offer from black sheep bikes, the new reverb dropper.

 

Interesting how they managed to reduce the rail to bottom of post height. Compared to the E13 that was slammed down onto the collar I now have a decent clearance between the underside of the collar and the seat post clamp.

 

 Both are 150mm travel droppers.

 

 Not to mention the dropper is smooth as silk.

 

 The most simple yet awesome trick they cane up with was to flip the saddle rails so that they tilt down and not up.... this allows for an increase in rail to collar height with just about zero design changes!
