The Hydraulic disk Potenza levers are $128 from Bike Kit Pro so when I get the refund back from Wiggl.com I'll call them up and make sure I am ordering the correct part. The Potenza levers work like cheap Shimnano levers. You can shift up the cassette 2 or 3 gears at a time but only down one at a time. This might not make a difference with an 11-32 though. Perhaps the ratios are so wide that you don't need to change more than one at a time. I remember that the 8-speeds were like that. |

On your smartest day you can't even read. I have had several bikes with disk brakes but they are dangerous on CX bikes and hence on road bikes as well since they can lock the wheel up so easily.

That should cement your attitude because you are a loser and can't stand winners. Tell us all what disk bikes you've ridden. |

But since you think "they are dangerous on CX bikes and hence on road bikes as well since they can lock the wheel up so easily", while the rest of the planet has no problem with them (including me), you're doing it wrong. My friend is a Cat 3 racer. What are you? "retied" cat 2 with 142 local wins over the past 30 years. I still race masters open 50+ in road and CX. I cal still pull out a 900 watt sprint at the end of a crit. you? He's also a retired NCIS agent and carries a gun on himself 24 hours a day. That should cement your attitude because you are a loser and can't stand winners. Are you suggesting that he'd pull his gun on me for speaking my mind? IT wouldn't surprise me he's your friend if that's the case. That's exactly the sort of thing you would pull. Tell us all what disk bikes you've ridden. My main CX is a Fort with discs (my pit bike is an old Bontrager Cx, handmade steel before they sold to Trek, not disc)). I also have two mountain bikes with discs - an old Independent Fabrications Custom Deluxe Ti, and my new favorite, a Cannondale Habit 3. I have a KHS tandem that I retrofitted to discs. I go out to Sedona to visit friends on a regular basis and rent a MTB, so have ridden disc bikes out there for the past 6 years. You're out of your league here, tommy. |
