Langster / Langster Pro / Langster Steel

Shimano changed the brake cable pull ratio on 5700/6700/7900 so you shouldn't mix, say 5600 STI levers and 5700 brakes or vice versa.

Plain brake levers will work with either but the 5700s will feel more aggressive than the 5600s. I used 5700s on this with the Tektro RL cross levers (which I think are used on the Langster) and the braking was really quite sharp, it was easy to lock the rear. But nothing you wouldn't quickly get used to.

Ah, OK.

My Wangster has Specialized levers on it, not Tektro. The braks are alright but am getting the itch to start upgrading things a bit and this is probably the cheapest place to start. Plus the braks and leavers are black and I want everything to be SHINY!!
