Hey Bill, How do you like the way you've done the bare cable routing not covered by bar tape at all on the bar end shifter? I'm switching to bar ends once my Riv order comes in and am trying to decide how I want to route the cables. I like the way that looks but I'm not sure about how it would

I talked to a guy who crossed the US self contained on an 11-34 9 speed with IIRC 40t single ring. It seems once you get to a 3:1 range, a bit of patience walking some hills covers the rest. May try it some day but for now I'll hang onto my triple. dougP On Sunday, February 22, 2015 at
