Quick parts bin stock-take for potential Covid-19 upgrade. Quite a lot of my bike stuff is at work and inaccessible for the foreseeable. I don’t find the risers especially comfortable on longer daytime rides and I wanted to see if I have everything here to switch to drop bars. Tldr; is it looks like yes, I do, as long as my gear cable inners are long enough.
I’ve got: Deda Piega drops in a Cinelli 1A, carbon 10sp Rival levers, 10sp-era Rival callipers, short cage 10sp Rival rear mech, various new and used cable outers, various new and used cable inners, various ferrules, used bar tape.
At a quick glance, I think I have enough pink cable outer to swap bars without butchering the black set on the risers. I’ll leave the callipers off for now so it’s a quicker swap. Rear mech is too small for this huge cassette so that will stay off anyway. Secondhand bar tape is actually ideal because this is my first ever time with brifters and I’ll probably have to take it back off anyway.
