BB7s can get in the sea.

They must have forgotten about all the good drop bar hydro options that were available in 2013

SRAM had some around then... they did have to issue a full recall tho

Shimano had brought out their 785s in 2013 too.

maybe 2015?

year before (stybar v nys) was canti no?

Ok, so there was a a choice

A choice of hideous alien head, or doesn't actually work

BB7s are fine

how dare you? R785 work just as well as the latest gen shimano hydro. Best kept (and in stock) secret IMO.

They were brought out in 2013, UCI took a while to ratify them for CX.

I agree they are great. Nice hood to hook into but not as ugly as the 505s

the 505s

pls dont mention them

Intermittently?

Love Shand. They always put on great bikes at Bespoked.

I swapped mine for GRX. They were pretty knackered though but I've kept them for spares.

I had no issues with mine and they did more miles than everyone posting in this thread has ever done. :D

You don't actually stop though

Just need to replace the stock calipers with Hope

nah i did that with 685s, sold that bike within a week though

I actually hate this. Just a mess of a bike.
