  • So this is amazingly similar to my Crosscheck single speed!

    Some comments if that’s ok (though I know you’ve ordered the s500):

    • I have gravel kings sk, I like them, never had any issues, really versatile and do the job for the price. I will be fitting the ss soon.
    • S500 - don’t like; weird ridge because they are just shifter levers without the paddle which is super uncomfortable. I have some cane creek levers ready to go on for the summer refresh and they feel so much nicer.
    • The ritchey classic stem doesn’t actually match the bar and seatpost. It has a weird brushed finished. Weirdest choice ever by Ritchey. I’d suggest finding a different stem if you want colour match over brand match.
  • Ha, the perfect lever is still elusive. I’ll try the cable trick that @Cupcakes mentions.
    I think the stem being silver is probably close enough for my needs, and I quite like the look of it generally (and I’m buying direct from the Ritchey distro so it makes sense to get it along with the other bits).
