    Why are more modern barend shifters "bent"?

    Good points. I think the "barrel" part is the same diameter so lever angle per shift will be the same, but I will measure. Just got to wondering about this on the way home this afternoon, no other reason!

    Why are more modern barend shifters "bent"?

    Useless thought for the day... I think the very early barend shifters were just standard straight DT levers with a different mount. When did Shimano and/or anyone else start making them with the more recent "bent" shape, and why? Is it just to help stop losing grip on them? Something else? I...

    Throbbing hum from rear wheel - ksyrium

    more than likely the delrin bushing. stupid design that one.... no idea if it can be swapped between the campag and shimano freehub bodies - if you can take them apart then I suggest measuring to see if they're the same?

See how they work, and adjust tension on each side as required , just enough so that they are equal, with the minimum setting so that...

    Sold KHS Montana Comp

    That looks in great condition and still very original! Not sure it's a 21" frame though? The HT is shorter than on my 19"... The "21" on the ST I think refers to the number of gears, not the size. I'd measure and make sure!

    New frame Veneto Altec 2, another project after the Daccordi incident

    I don't think it was a purchase as such, early 00's the bikes were branded as Zeus in Spain, Orbea in France and Veneto in Italy. But other than the branding, exactly the same. My Zeus in this colour scheme must have been 2001 I think... Shortly after they changed the branding, using Orbea for...

    New frame Veneto Altec 2, another project after the Daccordi incident

    I had one of these BITD, exact same colour but branded as Zeus as it was sold in Spain. It was a warranty replacement for the first one that was a little less colourful! Cracked at the rear drive side chainstay vent hole :(
