Ha - I have yellow ones on my single speed! Agreed on the grip.
Just been catching up on your Shogun and AA - you've been busy! What tyres are they on the AA? I'm looking for options...
Kona AA - something different...

Think I can call this complete for now...
Shiftmate works well with the 10spDuraAce shifter and Microshift XLE derailleur - couldn't quite tune the indexing fully though so it's in friction mode but still easy to get every gear. Those Kenda tyres felt terribly heavy so I've switched out for some standby off-road jobs which are much improved.
Brakes are good enough but adjustability is very tricky - at a minimum I need inline barrel adjusters, or I might just switch out the Curve cantis altogether for something a bit more straightforward - they do look nice though...
Rides really nicely, bars are in just the right spot where on the tops feels nice and relaxed and the hoods/drops allow faster efforts up hills or on fast flats.
Will be on the lookout for better fast rolling gravel-type tyres and purple platforms but no rush on either of those.
