Something I have been meaning to do for a lot of years, but it has taken me that long to find a set of the elusive Magura HS66 brakes...
Well I finally found a set and wired them up, bike had been run as a Single speed (ENO rear hub) but guess my knees are getting a little tired these days and I like the option of a bigger gear for the road
One of the last RC100 frames, RC0368 and left as I bought it, hate taking away it's previous history, so tatty paint and scratched decals will stay
Came up with the quirky idea of running a Rock Shox poploc lever rather than a big thumbshifter so after some swearing and a lot of wedging I managed it. I now have a nice 36:18 or 46:18 with the aid of a Rohloff tensioner
Tires should give me a nice fast road roll with options for "detours" on the way home from the forest. It had to have Brooks Leather bar tape to round it off
After it's quick test ride it feels great, I will find some time for it this week and pop by Adrian and see what he makes of it
