DJR Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 So I didn't have another cable splitter and bar-end shifter when I built the Alpina, ................I like that you are running Campy on it. I think the Campy levers have a better, less bulky shape and will likely be more ergonomic to move around and operate like you have set it up...........maybe I just like dissing "the other maker"
CAAD4 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Kalahari have you seen a product called Outbraker for disc brakes?

The thumb lever is a little bit of a reach on the bottom ergo... Not that I would ever do such a despicable thing to any of my road bikes as actually fit a shimano group..... Can't beat how smooth that 20yr-old Campy is though.

Kalahari Vegmot Posted August 19, 2020 Author Posted August 19, 2020 Kalahari have you seen a product called Outbraker for disc brakes?I have now, thanks! I look forward to trying it out someday!
The Ouzo Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Kalahari have you seen a product called Outbraker for disc brakes?I just google this, looks brilliant
Slowbee Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 I have now, thanks! I look forward to trying it out someday!Why looking forward to it someday ? Do you not want to try it sort of soonish ? *apologies if qstn comes through harsh*
Kalahari Vegmot Posted August 19, 2020 Author Posted August 19, 2020 Why looking forward to it someday ? Do you not want to try it sort of soonish ? *apologies if qstn comes through harsh*Perfectly valid question haha! My mtb setup still uses both brakes individually, so no need for extra stopping power there. I don't think I'll ever get one on a mtb either, since Hope already make the perfect solution for mountain bikes... Both my roadies are rim brake, and I'm not planning on getting a disc roadie soon. When I get a disc road bike, I think the Outbraker might have a place.
Blackheart Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Got the MTB sorted. Trick is to disengage the elbow mechanism and lock it manually. Then it simply became a case of mounting the LHS brake lever on the right! I won't be riding anything technical with this setup, but for our "kanaalpad" it works just perfect... 20200316_183208.jpg20200316_183558.jpgThat is so cool.Upside is your hand won't go numb on those NC corrugations!Big respect for getting yourself back doing what you love, I've been in the same storm. Different boat. I'm an Architect and Industrial Designer and if I can ever assist with designing and getting custom parts (for you or the bike) made up, give me a shout, no cost. Cheers.
