Bike rides like a dream. Is bang on 8kg with steel fork, but hope to shave a few grams when I chop the rest of the steerer and eventually drop / swap the -17 stem for a -10. I also have an Enve carbon fork to put on if I ever get bored.










Lot’s of pics. soz.

Took 4 hours to cable the bike… so first impressions were not great. I’m sure i could do it from scratch in about 2 hours now, and if i were just replacing the liners/inners, about 20 minutes.

Once i wrapped my head around the concept and got them dialled they are great. I am having better results with shifting than braking at the moment. It was easier to get the mini-ilinks into compression than the brakes ones. I would say the shifting is marginally better than the Yokozuna cables i was using before, and much better than stock.

I noticed yesterday a slight looseness in the outer for the rear brake so i’ll work on that to get it compressed again completly for the best braking feel.

I would get them again. I wouldn’t say they are a massive improvement over other ‘performance’ cable systems, but they look ace - and that’s the most important thing right?

Thanks all for the kind words guys. One more money shot
