  • Thankyou! I love m950 stuff. I will be swapping out the brakes though as those old 857306931 ["100% cotton high-pile corduroy, Elasticated waist w/ integrated belt , Dropped and gusseted crotch , Hand pockets , Welted zip back pockets, Large snap fastening scoop pockets, Zipped utility thigh pocket, Attachment loop , Fixed turn ups , Regular fit, choose your usual size "] TRUE linkage things develop play and squeal so, so badly. Shiny new shimano DXR ones on the way...

  • yeah, the brake levers are ace, those brake arms not so much - I think the later models (m960?) suffer less from that problem - but DXR will be great & sidestep the whole thing. Is the derailleur rapid-rise for maximum nerd points?

  • Woah, this is superb! Love it all, including the Carradice (?) and the RSF sticker on the downtube. Can attest that rapid rise with friction is the bees knees; one of those things that doesn't seem worth the change and then you do it and everything else (friction wise, at least) feels inferior.

    Did The Woods tempt you with tubeless or are you tubed as Grant intended?

    Edit: Also, is that a glow-in-the-dark Nalgene? One of my best ever purchases for camping as you can always find your bottle in a dark tent without resorting to head torch!

  • This is very good. Those are my favourite levers too. Really regret selling a couple of sets at £20 a go before I went to NZ.

    I was going to offer up some motolites, but I think covering it with made in the us of a cnc parts has been done to death (and when I checked, they're black, not silver)
