• Thinking of flat barring my latest version Kaffenback as I'm not enjoying drops on it plus I could frankenbike it with the Geoff bar for more bikepacking space. Questions:

    Brakes: The brakes are Rever MCX2 (or Havit as PX rename them). These are short pull road brakes. I'm 99% sure my Dia Compe Gold finger are also short pull. Is that right?

    Gears: Also is SRAM pull ratio consistent across their range, meaning the 11sp Rival shifter could be swapped for their s-series thumb shifter?

    If that'd all work this is a v.low cost + spares box swap so would be ideal. Thanks.

  • 99% sure my Dia Compe Gold finger are also short pull. Is that right?

    Yeah.

    No, but everything has something like exact actuation, 1:1 actuation or X actuation on it, although these are very similar, they're not the same, but if it has the same words it's compatible with anything else that says the same.

  • Be wary, you may end up needing a massively long stem to make it work, it may need 30-40mm longer due to the back sweep.

    Have a look at Ritchley Buzzard, it will keep stem at a reasonable length (I went from 110mm on the Geoff to 50mm on thr Ritchley)

    Lastly, just get a pair of Shimano MT200.
