This is just about proof that anything will look good with a matching ZIPP wheelset.

Why did you bother switching everything up when you're getting an SL4 in 10 days? Looks great though!

doesn 10sp chain really behave correctly when shifting ? any problems at all ? seems like you have a good ole' freewheel in theback.......

dudemanppl says:

No problems at all. I did get the chain stuck between the chainrings once when I forced it there, but thats about it.

pearleen

pearleen says:

and are you running index or friction ? i'm asking because running a 6sp (regina) FW with a mere 8sp chain and there are some bad surprises in the middle of shifting sometimes. the chain will just sit for a few seconds in between the cogs and not engage on the FW's teeth.....

dudemanppl says:

Indexed. Perfect shifting for me. Maybe I'm just lucky? Haha.

YAAAAAAAAS!

what brake lever are those? oem dura ace 7400/1?

Posted about 10 years ago

dudemanppl

dudemanppl says:

7401? The "aero" version of the 7400 levers.

Posted about 10 years ago

nightstalker

nightstalker says:

yeah thats what i ment.

are you planning on keeping it on? or going to replace it?

Posted about 10 years ago

dudemanppl

dudemanppl says:

Well the only levers I would really wanna replace them with are SRAM levers, and that isn't gonna be pretty on this build. So the closest thing to replacement I'm gonna do is replacing the hoods cause the right one is seriously messed up.

Posted about 10 years ago

dudemanppl

dudemanppl says:

And honestly, being on the hoods is really uncomfy with these levers so I'm in the drops most of the time.

Posted about 10 years ago

nightstalker

nightstalker says:

i see,well you can try to get the trp rrl levers, im pretty sure itll still look good with the sram levers

Posted about 10 years ago

dudemanppl

dudemanppl says:

Not really liking the dramatic kink on those TRP levers. SRAM would be too modern I think...

nightstalker says:

your brake calipers are modern :) lol

If being in the hoods hurts, get new bars. Traditional drops suck almost universally, afaic. Get some compacts, ZIpp Service Course SS or Nitto M186 or something like that.

Posted about 10 years ago

dudemanppl

dudemanppl says:

Honestly the lever shape just sucks cause I had compact bars on before and same amount of uncomfy. But hey it looks nice and being in the drops isn't that low anyway.

I think the sram would look good tbh

Nice build! Well balanced look.

you need a stepped ferrule like this one for such a rear derailleur cable stop. http://wheelsmfg.com/media/catalog/prod... makes for a better cable routing.

Thanks! The bike originally came with a nipple in place of that and I guess it loosened itself off.
