Function as should.
Difficult to wrap.
The cables are easy to work with and works great. It compliments my retro build giving it that vintage style look with a modern technology feel. 🙏🏻
This is my go-to crank for my customers who want a triple. The quality is excellent and it’s a piece of art. It reminds me of the TA Specialties triple — only better!
Loving the color/cushion of the tape. Gets a bit slippery when wet. If you're not a sweaty rider, or you ride with gloves you'll be fine.
Works great, looks even better. Used to replace Cane Creek stem in black on Surly midnight special. The stem lifted up my bars juuuuust the right amount to make long distance riding a pleasure. I like the added attention to detail by including a rubber stopper that prevents water from sitting on the adjustment bolt's head, would love to see added protection for the 2 side clamping bolts.
I ride in all kinds of weather. This bag keeps my stuff dry. It looks great, too. The size is perfect for my flatbars (with some foam spacers to keep the bag off my cables). I doubt I would want any bigger bag on my handlebars ... Fantastic piece of gear!
Hands down completely changes the versatility of my bike. I place bar ends in the middle so I can adjust the position to around where my hoods would be on the road bike, and place ESI grips cut in half where needed for alt positions. Oury at the ends and blammo! A do it all go anywhere masterpiece. Now if I can just get the tires dialed in 🤔
They are very good looking, however; it's a little annoying that they are always upside down when you are ready to start peddling after stoping and putting your feet on the ground.
Seriously, these are monumental. I've never tried Klampers, so can't compare these to those, but they are well worth the upgrade over TRPs. I can now brake when I want to and how I want to without straining my hands or worrying about being underpowered.
I'm running them with Jagwire Link housing. I emailed them about this, and while they can't officially endorse any housing except for the Yokozuna Reaction stuff that they supply, they say any brake housing should be okay. And Link is the stiffest stuff in the business.
The gold color also adds a nice pop to my blacked-out rig.
Happy trails!
Stem is very polished and goes will on several of my vintage Italian bikes. This is the fourth velo stem that I've purchased
Great looking cage. Looks fantastic on my vintage builds.
Perfect size for my Cetma cargo rack! I also just purchased seine bars and a large format water bottle cage! Great products here. Have been a customer for years!
I've recently come to realize that a bicycle is at its best when you don't notice anything about it when you're riding it. For example, you'll know you've got your saddle dialed because it's not constantly alerting you to the existence of your taint.
These pedals immediately and pleasantly disappeared under my feet.
I like that they are serviceable and expect to be able to enjoy them for decades.
I slapped this on my bridgestone x03 retro build- and im stoked about it.
as a carbon bike gravel bro- its really nice to have things that are more functional on a different bike thats more utilitarian instead of just going fast
I also got another one for my partners bike!
