slr is some kind of progressive cam inside the lever. It boosts leverage/ travel of the brakes as you press the levers. Normal levers like suntour otoh, gives more feedback but less brute force. M733 levers are tanks and have great ergonomics. They weigh like tanks as well.

I would run a shorter 15 degr. rise syncros stem. Those bikes were usually built that way to deal w/ the steep terrain of west Canada. A tall hbar and a shorter saddle to bar distance gives you a good control and fast reactions.

Do you run the m733 slr levers too? Best lever action but the weight...

I am on the same boat. Cantis demand a good cable set up and good brake pads but i would rather go w/ cantis than vees

93 is m737 vintage. Light, compact gearing, slr breaking, pretty and half the cost of M900 xtr Judy SLs are nice but so is a mag21 tuned w/ travel extension. I had both and prefer the mag21 BUT... finding seals/ parts for mags is not easy.

Or... green!

Man.... that's a beauty.

Thank You!

"What is the tire clearance please?"

Frame, fork

They look balanced.

Salsa will be more stable and planted at speed. Bontragers will climb better.

IME canti brakes are all the same. It's about set up and pad quality. There is nothing objective that makes an xtr brake arm work better than stx, ritchey or any other. Older geometry adjusts different than compact but that's it. As for v brakes, again ime they waste the rim walls faster...

Black seatpost solves the problem.

Maybe a grey specialized saddle, the one designed by Potts which preceded the wtb sst. It's sought after and hard to find.

This is it. Btw lower the straddle on the rear cause its too high. Braking will feel so much better you will forget seatstay flex. There is a hole in the fork so you can mount a cable hanger there. It's a special hanger but easy to findo on the web. No need for v brakes: well set cantis brake...

It's only a matter of how you set them up.

What is the tire clearance please?

suntour xc seatpost. Actually not that bad but still heavier than everybody else. Otoh it's pure class.

independent fabrications. ibis. ritchey. wtb phoenix.
