[RBW] Re: DaVinci Splitters - They're AWESOME!

2010-09-29 Thread sanjoser
well, with all due respect, the bike is so breathtaking (I think)
that
my eye tends to stop at the insignificant details while trying to
assimilate
the entirety of the design. I've kept the picture up on my screen
deciding how I'm going to justify getting another bike.

 Gee, Tom... Don't you want to hear about the DaVinci splitters???  I
 mean... last evening I swapped out the drops with the bullmoose
 (including hooking up the brakes and shifters)...all in 4 minutes, 21
 seconds flat. NO LIE!!!

 OK, ok...the light.  It's a Schmidt Edelux, which runs off the Shimano
 DH-3n72 dynamo hub.  You can purchase this light from Peter White,
 Clever Cycles, or SJS (in the UK).  I purchased mine from SJS, and it
 shipped with the mount you see (which simply bolts onto the Nitto mini
 rack).

 Hope that helps.

  front rack, and where do I get one

I used the DaVinci splitters for the shifters only.  For the brakes,
since I'm running linear pull / V brakes, I just picked up an extra
set of noodles, and disconnect the brake cables at the brakes... very
simple and effective.  Each setup has its own set of downtube cable
adjustors... makes it nice and easy.

DaVinci splitters... I LIKE
