Corrado Posted December 8, 2016 Share Wonder why the one brake lever is so much lower than the other. Or is the 2nd photo playing trick on my eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterF Posted December 8, 2016 Share Bar ends and handlebar tape on the area near the stem. I suppose when you are spending that much time on the bike comfort is crucial. Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted December 8, 2016 Share Right shifter is Di2, Left is Cable, the Brakes are the same height/angleI wonder why he went for that option? Di2 for 2x is still only 1 lever so the left lever is just a waste. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted December 30, 2016 Share Back to bar ends, 2x set up and alloy rims?The more things change, the more they stay the same.I'll like it.And good old Shimano pedals... Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted December 30, 2016 Share First time reading this but its very odd to see that ratio up front Karl could probs ride the entire epic on the 36t Makes more sense to me to go with 26/28 and A 38/40 But He probably likes it that way awesome bike all and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
