After some very fun gravel rides on my Hillborne, I am considering a change from bar ends to brifters but it seems like I am running into compatibility issues at every turn. I have made many changes to this bike since I purchased it secondhand and finally feel that I'm coming to some conclusions.
I'm a drop bar devotee (Crust Shaka). The stock Silver 38/24 cranks are great. Currently running a Microshift FD and a Deore 9-spd RD. The brakes are Paul Motolites, which I like very much. I have old Dura Ace bar end shifters and some kind of Tektro levers, which are prbly not a good match for the Pauls...very squishy and perhaps not long pull? I want to somehow unify the drivetrain and stop doing things by half measure. I'd like to keep the brakes but feel like everything else could be changed up. Thanks for any suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
