Re: V nice.

Does it ride as nice as it looks?

Re: 1995 DBR Axis Team Titanium -> new pics on page 10

Yes it does! The forks work surprisingly well and the short stem + high rise bars really help when I need to take the weight off the front wheel. The ti frame behaves as nice as it always has.

What I'm not satisfied with are those Real levers as they are hard to operate with just one or two fingers. Going back to my old XT BL-M739 levers I think.
Also the cassette has turned out to be a pain in the ass. Some of the cogs seem to be too worn and the chain keeps skipping. Or there might be some other problem. I'll change the cassette to something else and see if skipping stops or not.

Thanks. Great bike. I have those XT levers and they are spot on.

Re the chain slippage. Could it be the jockey wheels on the rear mech causing an issue?

What brand of chain did you use? I use a genuine KMC.

Re: 1995 DBR Axis Team Titanium -> new pics on page 10

Yes it could very well be the jockey wheels. Or it could be something else. Anything really.

The only thing I know is that earlier with Dura-Ace RD-7800 and a Dura-Ace CS-7700 cassette everything worked perfectly.

But I'll swap one component at a time and see what is causing the problem. I'll start with the cassette.

Always nice to see someone else constantly tinkering and evolving a solid chassis like the DBR Axis TT.
