Yup, I've read these comments - supposedly there was a batch that were shipped with overtightened callipers (this caused damage to olives when attempting to undo pipe at calliper end) Supposedly this was resolved, I know someone who got a set early jan '14 and has nothing but good things to say. We'll just have to see, I have the front now, but the rear is on backorder, 4+ weeks! I might call upgrade and see if they know of any changes being made to these at TRP..
HOWARD - cheers for comments! I'm not fussed about ust anymore, they don't exist for cx, tubulars make sense but i will probably just run some quality conti's. I picked up my 2014 XM819 rims today, very cool with the new ISM milling, and will easily take a 35c tire, which is perfect. Yep, already got a GXP BB, so the cranks made sense! Saddle will probs be a Specialized Romin Pro, I've enjoyed my other Romin.
Which Lizard tape would you recommend? Also, is it possible to run a single ring on the back of the RED cranks and a bash on the front?
Thanks for the help folks
