I asserted a RapidRise rear der is especially perfect if you have stem shifters. I asked if anyone knew why? Ray guessed it had to do with easy one hand shifting. That was not my reason. Actually I'd assert that a one hand double shift is slightly harder with a rapid rise RD, because most

Looks great! I like the red, lugged, Nitto stem. I’d feel handicapped trying to hold a coffee mug and ride a bike up a hill. No desire to add a handlebar mug holder, grab sack or reserve a corner of the basket? David Lipsky Berkeley On Friday, March 6, 2020 at 8:23:48 AM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay
