• That's a lovely, practical, build.

    A couple of pages back you mentioned friction in the shift cables. I can thoroughly recommend the new generation of Shimano polymer coated cables - the low friction coating is very durable and they do make a noticeable difference on bikes with long, fully enclosed, cable runs. Not cheap, but they pay back in terms of reduce hassle and maintenance.

  • I cabled up Kate's TCR with those new Dura Ace cables. Very nice indeed, but too rich for me. I've also used Goodridge coated cables which were good, but couldn't find them last time I checked.

    I squirted some PTFE lube down the housing and they've since settled nicely.
