Hi,

Little upgrade of the fork :


Unknown steel tube replaced by an alloy one from pace : 50 g of gain

I cut it at 19 cm so I can add a small spacer to be more confortable

Here are few news of the merlin : a new dura ace cassette in 12/23



Compare to the ultegra 11/23, 30g of gain.

Hi,

Recently I built a little sunn revolt for my wife with m737 parts.

Due to my last experience with lx brakes, I was sceptical about the efficency of the canti and specialy of the shimano pads ... but it works and very well and I like the feeling a little bit brutal :shock:

So it gives me ideas for the merlin.

I found those m900, they are dirty but apparently complete, and few new parts to make them a little bit shiny :



I'm still waiting for new block pads because I don't have ceramic rims.

The fork is good for the street but not for offroad...

Today,

I got a pace rc35. It is with firm elastomers so it should be fine for my weight.

I just did a swap with the legs :
